Los Alamos Family Council (LAFC) is so excited to announce the addition of a new full-time prescriber joining our team at the Counseling Center!

Theresa Wussow is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who will be providing fulltime medication management and psychiatric services for LAFC clients.

For the past several years Dr. Deepa Nadiga and her psychiatric nurse practitioner, Barbara De Nevers, have been taking time away from their personal practice to offer medication management services to LAFC.

During a meeting this spring between the psychiatric team and me, LAFC learned that De Nevers had been mentoring Wussow as she completed her post-graduate certificate program.

Wussow began seeing clients Aug. 1. She has multiple appointment slots available for new clients. While LAFC is rapidly processing her insurance credentialing information, Wussow is currently accepting clients who had BCBS Medicaid or United Healthcare insurance coverage.

Each insurance company processes credentialing a little different. It won’t be long before Wussow can take commercial BCBS plans, both commercial and Medicaid Presbyterian plans, and Medicaid provider Western Sky. Cash pay services on a sliding scale are also current available options.

LAFC is submitting applications to enable Wussow to accept Medicare clients as well, something we’ve been unable to offer for nearly 20 years.

Those interested in scheduling an appointment can call 505.662.4160.
