I was told yesterday that my insurance does not cover psychotherapy. I feel sure that it was listed in the benefits and I hope to resolve the confusion today. But in the meantime I feel lost, lied-to, and very depressed. I could use a dog to snuggle. Alas, no dogs at work.

I was feeling really crappy today. Then, after getting on the Pink Line, I found these. Thanks for kind of turning my morning around, Bleh the Buddha.

I would try a nice cold glass of authentic Chicago bird milk right now.

Insurance Crap

I'm looking at my insurance plan's big ol' book of benefits. Under "Treatment for Mental Disorders and Substance Abuse" there is no specific subheading for psychotherapy. Under subheading "counseling" it says "See Treatment for Mental Disorders and Substance Abuse Section." The closest thing to therapy I found is "Outpatient Mental Disorders and Substance Abuse," under which category I have a $20 /$40 copay per visit. When I decided on my insurance plan, I assumed that would cover counseling/psychotherapy. Was I wrong?

I'll get in touch with the insurance people today and see what's up.
