Accepted Insurance
I have worked at an insurance-based practice and initially accepted insurance when I started my business. As my specialty evolved, I realized accepting insurance no longer made sense for the work I do. Ultimately, my decision came down acting with ethics, integrity and honoring the privacy of my clients.
Insurance companies operate on a medical model, which means they require a diagnosis to establish that you have “a medical necessity” to seek services in order to pay providers. The vast majority of insurance companies don’t consider the things we are working on as medically necessary, or debilitating enough to reimburse. If I gave a diagnosis that I know doesn't fit but would get reimbursed, I’d essentially be committing insurance fraud. There are providers out there are willing walk this fine line and take this risk. In my opinion, the penalties and professional consequences of insurance fraud are huge and not worth it.
If I give a diagnosis, it becomes a part of your medical record. While that might not be such a big deal right now, it may become one later on if you want to: get life insurance, work in the financial sector managing other’s assets, regularly handle firearms, or seek employment in any sector in which your decision-making might be called into question due to your emotional state.
It is important to be that my clients get help they need without fear, stigma, or reprisal for making their mental health and personal growth a priority.
