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