  • How does insurance for counseling work?
    A law passed in 2009, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires coverage of services for mental health, behavioral health and substance-use disorders to be comparable to physical health coverage. Most insurance plans either have a co-pay or deductible. A co-pay means you pay a set amount for each appointment, and your insurance covers the rest. A deductible plan means that you pay all your medical expenses up to a certain amount, at which time insurance starts covering a specific percent of your costs. If your plan has a deductible, you will inform you of how much each session will cost you before your insurance coverage starts. Insurance companies vary on what plans they offer and what services they cover. Since many people are insured through their employer, you might not get to choose which insurance company covers you and your family. At Neighbors Counseling Services we offer a 15 minute consultation and can check the insurance plan you have with a clear and easy to understand of your co-payment or deducible amount.
