Therapy and Insurance

Posted by Miss Honeychurch on November 4, 2003, at 13:01:45

I just completed my 15 pre-approved sessions of therapy last week. I of course have been terrified that
would be it and I would be terminated. My therapist however says he is taking care of getting more sessions
approved. I am 34 and being treated for mild depression and anxiety.

Does anyone know how this process works? How likely would it be for my insurance company to approve more
sessions? Isn't short term therapy all they want these days?

I feel my therapist and I have just scratched the surface with my problems and have a lot more work to do. I fear
since I am not suicidal or a threat to others that my insurance
company will close the door on me.

If I had to pay on my own, I could only afford one session a month which seems pointless to me.
Currently I am at one session per week.

Does anyone know how insurance companies make their decisions???
