Goodness. Sounds awful, and awfully familiar. My last company had a separate insurance policy for mental health (probably to get around the parity laws) and every claim was a huuuge hassle, requiring months of back-and-forth, phone calls, and even getting my employer to call them once (how embarassing). My claim was identical every year, and every year a new runaround. I suspected they were just making it sooo difficult that people would give up. All that, and they only paid about $700 per year anyway.
New company, new insurance policy, overall worse coverage, but somehow someway they pay an enormous amount for therapy, and no hassle at all. I go for months without paying my therapist a dime, they reimburse so much. I'm afraid I'll be single-handedly responsible for my company losing their coverage or something.
It's just totally random.
