• • Increased cost and complexity of billing insurance 

  • Insurance company power to dictate your treatment (including session length, type of therapy, and number of sessions)

  • Excessive time spent by our administrator and clinical director in contact with insurance companies to prove treatment is needed.

  • The amount of access insurance companies have to your private, confidential information.

  • “Medical Necessity” is required for claim coverage. We must give you a mental health diagnosis that fits into insurance companies’ matrix of medical necessity, and we need to continue to justify this. Second, the illness must be causing significant functional impairment.  Without these factors present, we can not continue to keep a diagnosis active, and without a diagnosis, insurance will not cover services.
