Insurance Super User Are You Covered by My Insurance? (For Medicare, see below.) Many clients choose NOT to use their insurance coverage, even when they have it. Here's why. Health insurance may cover all or a portion of counseling or psychotherapy. Even if you have some insurance coverage for counseling or psychotherapy, you may decide it is better not to use it. (Many of our clients do exactly this). Why? There are several reasons. First, even where there is some insurance coverage, most policies provide for very limited services. You might have a plan that pays something like 50% of fees with a maximum of $1,000 per year (after the deductible is met). Or you may have a plan that limits the number of sessions per year to a very small number. In either case, most of the time you will find that your insurance coverage doesn’t amount to much to begin with. Second, if you do choose to use your insurance, you will usually be giving up both your privacy and your right to decide what help you want to receive. When you file an insurance claim, you give the insurance company the right to review your records in detail. This data gets stored in a database for future use. The company closely manages the services you receive, determining both the nature and the extent of those services. In short, by using your insurance, you end up giving up a lot of privacy and control over your life for very little financial benefit. Before you become a client, I will go over all of the options with you, and, with an understanding of all of the facts, you'll be able to make the best decision for you. What About Medicare? I am pleased to accept traditional Medicare with a Medicare Supplement policy, so in most cases, you're covered. If you have traded your traditional Medicare for a so-called Medicare Advantage Plan, we'll need to check with your insurance company to see what they will cover.

Everyone knows what it's like to feel anxious—the butterflies in your stomach before you speak in front of a group of people, the tension you feel when your boss or spouse is angry, the way your heart pounds if you're in danger. Anxiety rouses you to action. It gears you up to face a threatening situation. It makes you prepare more for life's challenges, and keeps you on your toes when you're making a speech. In general, it helps you cope. But, for many people, this normally helpful emotion can do just the opposite— it can keep you from coping and can disrupt your life. And it disrupts the lives of an awful lot of people -- chronic anxiety is the most common of all emotional problems. The good news is that the negative effects of anxiety can be overcome, usually without medications, and often relatively quickly, through modern treatments including cognitive behavioral therapy. In your very first appointment, you'll get a solid understanding about the causes of your anxiety and the ways to overcome it. After that, I'll be here to guide you as you practice what you've learned in every aspect of your life. Some people struggle with chronic anxiety for their entire lives. Don't let that happen to you. Come in and talk. I'm here to help. Read 1160 times Tweet Like0 Share Published in Optimum Health & Wellness Contact Dr. Sussman Phone or Text: (561) 376-4299 Email:
