Cost is one of the primary barriers to default mode network treatment. Understanding your options significantly increases access.
Insurance Coverage for Default Mode Network Treatment
The Mental Health Parity Act requires that insurance covers default mode network treatment at parity with physical health. In practice:
- Check your plan's behavioral health benefits
- Understand your deductible and copay for default mode network services
- Pre-authorization may be required for some default mode network treatments
- In-network vs. out-of-network coverage differs significantly
