Description
Is couples therapy ever covered by insurance? How about sex therapy? Many clients, upon calling their insurance to verify coverage, will get the answer that couples therapy is NOT covered, and that their plan does not include sexual issues.
When clinicians try to bill insurance for couples therapy (this includes superbills by OON practices), many of them do it in a way that is liability producing, that could get them embroiled in lawsuits, or in trouble with their professional boards.
In this CE event, learn what you can do in your practice to have insurance cover couples and sex therapy sessions while ethically meeting the standards of care.
