Does insurance cover marriage counseling?
If not, what does it cost? Insurance sometimes covers couples counseling if one of the partners has a mental health diagnosis like anxiety or depression. Just like your physical health, insurance only pays for what it deems is “medically necessary.” You’ll have to check with your insurance plan to see if you have coverage if more than one person is seen. The advantage of using insurance is the cost factor. The disadvantage is that insurance will determine how much we can meet. Also, because I have to submit your health information to the insurance company for reimbursement, the information is no longer confidential. Therefore it could affect future insurance coverage that you apply for, like when you change jobs or purchase long-term healthcare. The cost of a 60-minute session is $120.
