Using Insurance | Paying Yourself

Paying Yourself

Some of our clients make the choice not to use available medical insurance for counseling of their personal problems. The reasons are many, but for most, it is a matter of privacy. They wish complete confidentiality and that cannot be guaranteed when using an insurance plan. When insurance is used, information can be accessed by other insurance companies, through a clearinghouse arrangement, in making decisions regarding future applications for medical, life, disability or long-term care insurance. This also applies to marital counseling, when a spouse is diagnosed with a psychiatric condition in order to utilize existing medical insurance.

You may consider paying for therapy out of pocket as you do for other personal and business services you value. When you pay for counseling yourself, your complete privacy is assured within the limits of state and federal law.

Family business issues, executive or professional practice consultation and coaching and career development, conflict management, communications skill building and money issue consultation may be seen ads legitimate business expenses.
