Last year when I did DBT...it wasn't covered by my Health insurance. I was paying $250.00 a week. ($75.00 for class, $175.00 for individual T) This was all out of pocket so thank the Goddess at the time I had a permanent FT job and good income.
Now that I am only going once a week to my T...I private pay by choice...that way no one can tell me how many visits I can have and my employers have absolutely NO access to my medical files. It is still quite expensive...$500.00/mos just for T...it's really hard when you are working temp jobs and getting unemployment in between, but at the end of the year I get to write it off on my taxes.
Private pay is so much easier than dealing with insurance. I do wish others had the opportunity to private pay or at least get good MH benefits through med insurance.
This Health insurance system in the US needs to be ripped up from the roots and rebuilt.
If only we could say "BUS DRIVER...MOVE THAT BUS!!"
