Hi I am actually new to a great deal of this.

I was recently diagnosed with a situational anxiety due to home life stressors and work related tensions.

I asked my employer for time off and I was quickly directed to our companies Insurance Company to be "managed."

I am actually quite in the dark about how much authority these Insurance Companies have to second guess your medical professionals. My Insurance Agent (more accurately my employer's agent) just seems to be in a huge hurry to get me back to my place of work, and has blithely ignored any of my doctors reccomendations.

What do you do when your companies Insurance Agent directs you to engage in treatment/program requirements that are counter to what your Doctor's advice is?

I am actually surprised that these agents will take so many liberties when they don't even have a medical degree to begin with.
