My insurance is all of the sudden denying claims for phone therapy.

In my research online, CA , my state, has telehealthcare laws that protect therapy, but not sure if by phone. Need help advice, any legal orgs or advocacy groups I can contact??

This is ruining my state of mind, i am so worried

Is phone therapy your only option?

Telehealth - Licensees | Medical Board of California

This makes it sound like the main practitioner needs to be licensed in california.

Hi Hellion-
Thanks for asking. I'm in CA, T is in MA---he has been my T for decades, literally.

Anyone got a teleportation device, as in Star Trek?

Thanks Hanskter--I was afraid of that!!

Going through the appeals process starting Mon.

Anyone ever do this w/insurance? I'll google this this too---but not sure what an obusmund (sp??) does? Is it like a patient advocate?
