Another agreement. Thanks. And no disagreements. Those who treat diagnoses are too busy making money by simply handing out prescriptions---10 or 15 minute appointments. Does anyone know how long psychiatric appointments have to be before BlueCross/Shield and other insurance will pay? Do they pay in equal increments if someone does hour long psychotherapy appointments. Do they encourage of discourage psychotherapy? My memory is they discourage it.
