Thanks for all the responses.

zoo, apparently BCBS can do what it likes.

Calista, I remember that information from a past thread about the parity laws, but I'm not sure if it applies in my area or not. My insurance says they do not cover unlimited sessions. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again, though.

WePow, yes it's 10 sessions at a time after the first 20. I just hope the person I talked to was correct, and not the one T talked to who said "no more than 6" until January. Since you and Peaches also have BCBS, I feel hopeful about it now, as long as they accept the diagnoses my T has given.

traction, I'm sorry you had a hard time with insurance too. Thanks for the information.

googley, thank you. I hope it gets worked out too!

sunrise, I would have rather T brought it up at the end because I think it affected me adversely. I thought I had only 6 sessions left, and I had to put that awful thought aside so I wouldn't waste the whole session! You're right that I managed to do that. I've been honest with T from day 1, but some things I'm telling her that I wasn't going to.

elliemay, my T did let me stay 15 minutes extra to make up for the time we spent talking about insurance. I'm not sure if she did that consciously or not, but it was nice.

peaches, I know you've had concerns about the insurance too, at times, so I feel relieved that you also have BCBS and it worked out. I assume my T misunderstood or talked to someone who was uninformed about the policy. The woman I talked to basically said what you did.

I'm still depressed but I don't think it's about the insurance. I started another thread about it.
