I don't wish to offend you, but I think it would be worthwhile to clarify this directly with your pdoc. The realities of insurance coverage being what they are, some if not many psychiatrists file insurance claims under disorders that they know will provide longer-term and better coverage. I don't think there's anything wrong with this, generally they are attempting to garner the best and most long-term treatment they can for their patients. But for this very reason, sometimes the insurance claim diagnosis does not correspond with the actual diagnosis.
For example, my insurance (and I think it's not alone in this) provides 'unlimited' coverage for disorders that the company considers 'biologically-based" (i.e. bipolar) and provides far more limited coverage, for example, for personality disorders. Not saying it's fair, but it's the reality of how the system works.
So I would recommend that you talk to your pdoc about this. It may well be the diagnosis he feels is most accurate for you, but I think it's worth a clarification.
