I want to share this with the general public because it's important, as consumers of health insurance, to know how they are affecting the mental health field. Therapists in private practice, like me, have to waste so much time and energy trying to stay up-to-date with insurance company policies, simply to get paid. We are usually paid less than we deserve also. Insurance companies have way too much power over the mental health field, on both the provider and consumer sides of things.
While is looks like this post might not have all the facts totally correct, it's true that we're seeing some truly nefarious happenings in the under belly of insurance. Please take an active stance against mega-corps having this much control. Eventually, likely all mental health providers are going to move to self pay. We're getting fed up with being dragged around like we don't matter, by insurance companies.
Our profession is spiritual, valuable, and sacred. It's time we reclaim that.
