REQUIRED DIAGNOSIS OF A MENTAL ILLNESS

Insurance companies require a diagnosis before they will agree to cover all or part of your treatment. The rule is that insurance companies only pay for services that are considered “medically necessary.” This means that in order to utilize your medical insurance for mental health treatment, your provider will have to submit a diagnosis. Additionally, the clinician must prove that your mental health condition is affecting your health and overall functioning on a daily basis.

​

YOUR TREATMENT WILL BECOME A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION ON YOUR RECORD 

Any documented mental health treatment that is filed through your insurance will go on your permanent medical record. Entities that may have access to your record will see your medical history.
