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