Are Video Sessions Covered by My Insurance Provider?
Coverage will depend on your individual plan. Some insurance companies will cover video counseling/teletherapy. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance provider to ensure this service is covered by your plan. If the session is covered by your insurance, you are still responsible for the co-payment which is due prior to the start of the session.
Will the appointments be recorded?
No, video counseling sessions are never recorded.
Can I get an evaluation using video counseling?
The purpose of most evaluations is to determine the nature of a problem which involves developing a diagnosis. Face-to-face time with your counselor is an important component of this process. If you are experiencing symptoms or conditions that require in-person care, diagnosis, or assessment, video/online counseling is seldom the best means of obtaining an accurate diagnosis, although in some circumstance it may be appropriate.
