Brain Energy and its sister company, Astia Health, are cash pay services that do not go through insurance for their services. What does this mean?!
Health Insurance can be a great asset to make healthcare more affordable... but there are some drawbacks that aren't common knowledge that we'd like to share with you! The following points are related to mental health services specifically.
💸 Many insurances require a mental health diagnosis in order to cover therapy costs, even if you're seeking support for personal growth, stress management, or relationship concerns (all of which are not diagnosable)
💸A mental health diagnosis becomes a part of your medical history file, which other insurances (like life insurance or disability insurance) can access. Sometimes your medical history is used for security clearance checks for certain jobs.
💸 It's possible that your insurance can request access to your therapy records to determine if your care is "medically necessary"
💸Insurance often dictate key aspects of care, like type of therapy, number of sessions, how frequently your appointments are. This can lead to insurances discharging individuals prematurely from therapy.
💸Insurances restricts the network of providers that you can choose from, making it difficult for individuals to choose the right therapist for them
