losing therapist because of insurance

Posted by survivor1 on January 25, 2006, at 19:40:47

I don't know what I'm going to do. I have been trying to just not think about it I guess. It's much harder when I'm in a session. I guess I just looked at her as just a part of my life. When I start melting away, she is the only one that makes me do something about it. I am very sure if it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't be here right now. Who is going to save me, who will make me do something about wanting to still be here. I'm realizing that there is noone now.

I can understand the feeling. I don't have insurance for my therapist right now either. I have to pay her out of my own pocket. Fortunatly I can do it for now, but I can think of a lot of other places to spend the money. And this could change at any time too. I know the expence of therapy is not something many can truely afford. I will have coverage again for her in Sept. this year. For now it is a huge sacrafice for me.
I wish you could find a way to keep seeing your T. It is so important, I'm sure you already know that.

Call your company and see if they'll make a deal.

If you don't feel comfortable with this, have your T's office do it for you.

Companies are sometimes willing to work out special deals in special circumstances. For instance, since there was no one in my county who would be covered under my plan once they started making changes in it, T's office called and told them I was going to have to drive 45 min. to get to another office to have coverage. They allowed me to stay where I was, without any change in coverage.

Never hurts to ask. The worst that could happen is they tell you no.

Hi. Have you talked to your therapist about a sliding scale? Maybe you can keep the same copay amount without insurance?

 

Hi I just posted to you on newbies

Just in case you don't check the other board I thought I'd let you know that theres one over there for you!
Because I'm in the UK there is this wierd time thing and I'm never quite sure which day were on and it always looks like I'm posting in the middle of the night!! and although I do have problems with sleep it is actually 10am for me!
Also because I am in the UK I do not have control over how long I can keep my T. Initially I was given 6 months and I am already fretting over what I will do. He too is the only one who has kept me 'visible', dragged me back out of my 'box'and the fact that I will one day have to face my loss is what started me posting.
Keep at it, it helps.
Hows the stomach?
