Like I posted on the other thread, I recently moved to 3 x a week. Right now my insurance covers it. I talked with them and they do random audits as well as if there is a huge spike in claims. During an audit, my T will have to justify medical necessary. I did 2 x wk for just over a year before moving to 3 x wk. So, hoping that is not a huge spike to them. My T keeps saying that we'll work something out if there becomes a problem with insurance. She has also indicated that she charges less for out of pocket than she does insurance. I would not be able to afford to see her this frequently if I was paying out of pocket.

As far as schedule, I see her at different times on the different days, all in the afternoon to early evening. I am lucky that my job allows me to float my hours as long as I am "available" between 9-3pm, so I work an early morning shift. I like not having to go to work afterwards. T did say that it is common for people that go 4+ times a week to not have such a problem after session because of knowing they just have to make it to the next day - makes it easier to set it aside. There is the possibility that in the fall I will move to early morning appointments.

I know some T's work weekends and others work late evenings. My couple's counselor worked 6pm-10pm 3 nights a week.
Thanks for this!
