Finally got the COVID booster today. Apparently our insurance has been refusing to pay for boosters for anyone under 18 so we paid $200 out of pocket for our 4 year old's booster. Here's a hearty boo of shame to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, a real collection of villains who'd deny health care to a child.

The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts reimbursement rate for group psychotherapy (CPT 90853) is $23.56! I would love to offer group psychotherapy from my practice, as an effective and less expensive adjunct or alternative to individual therapy. But groups take about 90 minutes. You need to set up, do notes later, billing work, and collateral work. There's just no way to offer a group at this reimbursement rate. #mentalhealth #bcbsma #GroupPsychotherapy
