500<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lauren Parks-McGill ’16M, MSW, LSW, APHSW-C, a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) student, published “<a href="https://socialworkandhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/Identifying-Barriers-to-Social-Work-Integration-Sep2026.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Identifying Barriers to Social Work Integration: Palliative Care Billing as an Illustrative Example</a>,” in the Coalition for Social Work and Health Commentary.</p>
501
502
503
504<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Parks-McGill co-authored the publication with Jen Hirsch, MSW, LMSW-Clinical, APHSW-C; LaCinda Jones, MSW, MJ, LISW-S, PMP; Alyssa McFadden, MSW, LSW, LPMT, MT-BC; Stephanie DePiano, MSW, LCSW, APHSW-C; Kathryn Matarese, MSW, MBA, LSW, APHSW-C; and Akane Kumagai, MSW, LCSW. The authors examine the financial and systemic challenges of integrating social workers into outpatient medical settings.</p>
505
506
507
508<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I have always believed that social workers belong in the rooms we haven&#8217;t historically been invited into … This publication marks the beginning of a much deeper conversation, and I am immensely proud to share it. I owe so much of this foundation to Monmouth University; earning my master&#8217;s and now pursuing my doctorate here has not only deepened my love for this profession but has forged me into the fierce advocate I am today,” Parks-McGill said.</p>
509
510
511
512<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Using palliative care as an example, they explore why social workers have historically billed only mental health codes rather than medical codes, even though their responsibilities extend to patients’ social needs and adjustment to illnesses.</p>
513
514
515
516<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The authors also identify six barriers to integration and billing: productivity expectations, equity concerns, referral sources and process, documentation, and training, lack of administrative support, and team relationship dynamics. They recommend adjusting workflows and job expectations and creating document templates to help social workers navigate technology and infrastructure hurdles.</p>
