About health insurance companies

It's not that counselors do not like insurance companies, or do not want you to use your insurance (we have health insurance too!), but numerous counselors prefer to concentrate 100 of their time and energy on helping guests, rather than doing paperwork for insurance companies.

But this is not the only reason counselors may not be in-network with your health insurance company.
The other reasons are more compelling, and you need to consider them BEFORE you decide to use your health insurance.

Numerous counselors prefer not to work in networks with health insurance companies so that they can cover your confidentiality. Any information ( claims, reports, or treatment plans) filed with health insurance leaves the protection of their office and their locked lines and your particular, private, emotional information is outside of your counselor's office.

In order for any insurance company to repay or pay for comfort (both in-network and out of network), you must be considered" ill". You must be diagnosed with an internal health illness or disorder. However, also insurance won't pay for comforting services If you aren't ill enough to warrant a diagnosis.
