My T is working with the case worker at the insurance company to get more visits approved. My therapist said that there was a law passed last June or July that said if an employer has more than 50 employees, the insurance must allow 60 therapy visits per year. I don't know if this is right or not; maybe you want to ask your T.

Whatever State you live in is actually "in charge" ultimately; the 1996 HIPPA and Mental Health Parity Act don't say anything about number of visits; only lifetime $$$$ amount limits.
