I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:
-
Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
-
Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it and have I met it yet?
-
What is my copay amount (the amount you must pay at your session)?
-
Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
-
Do I need written approval from my primary care physician in order for services to be covered?
-
How are services for out of network providers covered?
-
What type of information about me does my insurance company need to collect from my therapist in order to submit payment for mental health benefits?
-
When information is collected, how is it stored and who is it shared with?
