Insurance Coverage for Mental Health Treatment
Insurance policies differ in the extent to which they cover mental health treatment and the member cost (deductible/co-payment/co-insurance) amounts. If you wish to use your insurance, check with your insurance company to clarify what your policy covers. There are various questions to consider (e.g., What is my member cost responsibility for therapy? What is the coverage amount per therapy session?). Insurance carriers often require that you be diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. Some need detailed personal information about you, your treatment, and your progress in therapy for you to confirm coverage.
