I got a phone call last night from my insurance wanting to know how I am since I got out of the hospital. The whole damn phone call was a bot, I never talked to an actual live person. It gave me the option to get an email for a link to the Magellen website. That's who does my mental health health insurance. I went on the website today, and it really pissed me off.

There's a treatment calculator on the website, where you pick the mental ailment, and what you need for it. So I was curious and picked depression and psychologist. It calculated that I would need 7-9 visits with a therapist....wtf? Am I supposed to be cured in 7-9 visits? It takes 7 visits just to lay out all my problems and get to know the t.

I am so glad they don't judge based on this calculator thing for my problems. Bipolar wasn't even one of the choices. Luckily my state passed a law where insurance companies can't limit the amount of visits for certain mental illnesses, like Bipolar.

What really concerns me is that people might use this tool and get there hopes up that they will be cured in that amount of time.

I hate insurance companies 99% of the time.
