BrikoXHer Mental Health Treatment Was Helping. That’s Why Insurance Cut Off Her Coverage.
Encode1307I’m a mental health provider and medical necessity review irritates the hell out of me sometimes. I still think it’s absolutely necessary though. I’ve seen countless examples of therapists that want to keep working with people that are doing well. Meanwhile, someone else who really needs it can’t find a provider.
I realize that won’t be a popular opinion here but whatever.
Assian_Candor [comrade/them]You think people go to therapy for fun or what?
Somebody who’ll sit and listen to them talk about themselves for an hour? Oh, hell yeah!
grysbokMy therapist gives me homework and makes me think. Am I doing therapy wrong? 🙃
They either go to reduce distress or to become better people. The second kind is not a medically necessary service.
