My insurance company has a terrific mental health benefit. Every six months, my doctors fill out of a form saying how many sessions I will need, and if it changes, they fill out a new form. It's always been approved.
I don't know how active a role an insurance company can play in looking over therapists' shoulders. As far as being in network goes, it's a considerable savings, in spite of the insurance company wanting to make sure you're truly in need.
Sorry, Mair, about your troubles. I've been through similar ones. I just paid off a two-year-old visit to the emergency room because the insurance company kept getting it wrong. The persistence doesn't ever seem to pay off, but if fewer people tolerate insurance company crap, then they might get the hint that they need to shape up.
Nah.
