Maya Hollister is Managing Editor at Daily Reading (kalmausam.in), leading coverage of how Americans find, evaluate, and pay for mental health care. Her articles focus on health insurance benefits, in-network and out-of-network care, sliding-scale clinics, the levels-of-care continuum (outpatient, IOP, PHP, residential, and inpatient), and the practical steps people take before booking a first appointment.

Maya has spent roughly a decade writing and editing for consumer-focused health publications. Her work prioritises explanatory accuracy — translating ERISA, MHPAEA, ACA, and state parity rules into language a person trying to fill a prescription on a Friday afternoon can actually use.
