What to Ask Your Insurance Company
Here are some questions to ask your insurance company if you choose not to pay out of pocket:
- Do I have out-of-network mental health or counseling benefits?
- Do I have an out-of-network deductible, and if so, how much is it? What would be my copay or percentage after I meet the deductible?
- Have I met any of this deductible yet this year? Are my medical and mental health deductibles together or separate?
- What mental health services are covered? Are V codes covered or only claims with a mental health diagnosis?
- Is marriage counseling covered? If so, is it actual marital therapy, or is one partner considered the patient and the other considered an extra person in the room that is just there to support the patient? (This would create an unhealthy balance in actual marriage therapy, especially if a mental health diagnosis is required.)
- Do I have a limited number of sessions I can attend a year?
- How much information is required for reimbursement?
- Is there a usual and customary rate that the insurance company will pay for therapy per session? If so, how much is that?
- Do I need pre-approval to pursue therapy with the provider of my choice? Remember, this would be pre-approval for an out-of-network provider.
- Where do I get the forms to submit my claims?
- Are the conditions any different if I choose an in-network provider?
- For therapists on an in-network list, know that an MFT has trusted training in handling couple or family issues
- Even though an LPC might say he/she does this type of counseling, the training is not the same.
Final Thoughts on Insurance Considerations
- Most issues can be covered in therapy in
six to eight weeks. The notable exceptions are marriage therapy, adoption/foster care treatment, severe depression/mood disorders, eating disorders, and abuse issues, all having a longer treatment cycle.
- Consider these questions, as well: How confidential would my record of a mental health diagnosis be with an insurance company? Can I get a level of care that better matches my needs and desire for confidentiality by using my FSA or HSA account?
