Wow, I just called my insurance company and was told that as of July 1, due to a U.S federal law called Wellstone (he was a senator that died in a plane crash), there's no more limit on the number of therapy sessions I can go to in a year, as long as the sessions are medically necessary. Has anyone else heard about that? I wonder why my various therapists (I've been shopping around) haven't known about it. I wonder why when I called my insurance back in October to find out how many visits I had left they didn't tell me about this. Maybe it's just taking a while for everyone to learn.
I asked the insurance rep if medically necessary meant as long as the therapist said it was necessary (which, I assume, therapists would be happy to do). His response was, "um, yup, as long as it's medically necessary". That seemed a little vague, but I think it meant yes.
