    Well, for instance, BetterHelp is not covered by any insurance, and that’s probably the most accessible therapy for everyone. It has more to do with your therapist than the insurance. You probably have dealt with providers that work with insurance. I’m telling you there are a lot that don’t for the reasons I outlined.

    I also think you’re lucky or either the insurers are getting more bold about denying coverage. I’ve had to fight insurer’s on two separate occasions regarding therapy.

      The easiest method is probably to get your insurance to direct you to therapists that accept your plan instead of vice versa. That’s what I always did.

        Ah, yeah, and this highlights another issue. Therapists are in short supply in most of the country. If you’re in a major city, you’ll have a lot of options, but in a 2nd or 3rd tier city you will have limited options, at least in my area.
