About Insurance
There are two types of
insurance common in the US today: (1) general indemnity insurance and (2)
managed care (HMO's, PPO's, etc.) Nearly all managed care panels are
represented by one or more professionals. To check on whether a particular
therapy provider will be covered for payment, you should telephone your
insurance company. The phone number is printed on your insurance card. At
times, there is a separate number for mental health coverage. You usually
do not need to go through your primary care physician.
NOTE:
Many managed care panels offer "out-of-network" benefits, allowing you to
choose your own therapist. Be sure to ask about this when you call your
insurance company.
