In reply to Insurance for psychotherapy?, posted by mandinka on October 24, 2004, at 1:32:28
I've always been glad my therapist isn't on my insurance plan. I'd *hate* to have someone looking over my sessions and deciding how many more I need. It's bad enough that my insurance company sees my multitude of medications and my psychiatrist bills.
But I'm glad I have a flexible spending plan that allows me to pay pretax for at least some of it. I usually go over. :( As long as I have a prescription from my pdoc for therapy, and it's not for personal growth rather than medical purposes. (And as my therapist says - PERSONAL GROWTH!!! OF COURSE NOT!! with an insulting degree of enthusiasm and alacrity).
Can you derive any tax benefits at least from your therapy?
