There is a mental health parity act before Congress as we speak, so that insurance companies will have to pay for necessary mental health visits, rather than limit them. Hopefully, it will pass completely and soon.

My insurance already has parity, so my visits are not limited. I was a bit surprised and so was my doctor, as this HMO BC/BS parity seems to depend on your workplace benefits and what they decide to allow. Doesn't seem quite fair. That is great news, Sky; mental health visits should not be limited!

OTOH, my insurance doesn't cover many psych drugs unless they are generics which I hate. Luckily I only take one and found a generic which is closest to the name brand; in fact made by the company who manufactured the name brand.
