My T recently talked to me about my insurance company doing a review on my case and wanting to know how many more sessions I would need. He was able to get 30 authorized before another review. It makes me nervous and we talked about it. He let me know his frustration too that insurance companies try to dictate treatment and only pay half of what he actually charges an hour ($60 per session including my copay). He's decided to no longer take insurance for new clients. He let me know that he told the review person very clearly that I had a life threatening eating disorder and a history of multiple psych hospitalizations and that as a clinician, he did not believe I would be a short-term client. Made me feel better that he's fighting for me, but I can understand why he's frustrated and decided to no longer deal with insurance (other than current clients).
