My husband and I saw a marriage counselor this morning. He finally agreed to go so I researched and found a woman who specializes in marriage and parenting issues.

So, she explained how out of network insurance works at the end of the session.

After we left, I ran to the restroom and when I came out of the stall (yes the stall) the T was there washing her hands.

She immediately asked me if it was okay if she put a diagnosis of depression since my insurance doesn't pay for relational issues.

I was taken aback and said that I already have my individual T as I told her earlier and his diagnosis is similar to that. She said for insurance purposes she could use NOS (not otherwise specified).

I didn't know what to say so I said well alright as long as it doesn't interfere with my individual sessions.

Once I got back to work, I was thinking that how would this not impact my individual sessions. Wouldn't insurance say which T is treating depression??

I called T's office and left a message, I see him tomorrow anyway. I called my insurance and asked if they get two claims for depression by different T's what happens and the woman said I could see as many people as I want for depression.

This sounded ridiculous to me. But really, she is doing marriage therapy, not depression therapy...isn't this unethical? or am I overreacting? I tend to do that.
