Insurance : Please Read-IMPORTANT!
Some clients ask about using health insurance to pay for therapy. I do not subscribe to any insurance panels, and my reason for this is as follows:
In order for insurance to reimburse for therapy, you need to be diagnosed with a mental illness . Many clients, for obvious reasons, don't want a mental illness diagnosis in their health records. Most of my clients are not mentally ill, just unhappy and unfulfilled in their lives and relationships. Couples therapy and grief therapy , two of the main reasons people come to therapy, are not reimbursable by insurance.
A diagnosed mental illness can interfere with your life in ways you never imagined. It can create problems getting future health or life insurance, get in the way of being approved for security clearances, just to name a few. By not taking reimbursements from insurance companies, I am not forced to label my clients; I simply treat the problems they bring to me without a diagnosis.
Insurance companies require confidential, personal information about you, and put this in their databases, including diagnosis, treatment plans and progress updates. Therefore, my client's information would potentially be unprotected. This bothers me and ethically, I don't wish to share your information with anyone at any time. Because I don't take money from insurance companies, your confidential information stays secure. I am the only one with access to it, unless and until you authorize someone else.
I hope this helps you understand why I'm not a member of any insurance panels.
Please feel free to talk with me about any questions or concerns you may have regarding insurance.
