[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 335949, member: 1233"] If no one in your area will treat you for this, your ins co will have to accept your therapist IF your therapist is willing to sign a limited contract with them, accepting their payment and submitting treatment guidelines to them. they also should be required to give you an extension. If you cannot find a therapist, is there a university with a psychology dept - preferably a Masters/PhD program? You will be able to find a number for campus info, and look up the profs in the psychiatric dept. then get their office numbers and teh dept secretary/dept head phone number. Call the professors and ask if they do this, or would do this for this situation. Ask them who they would recommend, as time is short. Call the dept secretary first. Ask her if any of the profs do private or clinic counselling. Ask who is the head of the graduate program. The graduate program may be able to work with your ins to provide this. It would be a very good learning experience for the students. They will be very close to graduating with a master's or phd and sessions will problem be recorded for their supervisor to hear if the supervisor is not there. The supervisor will be a professor who is a licensed therapist. Billing would be done under the profs name or the univ's name. I have not heard of this, but I think it will become more common soon. I wonder if they would accept a video conference with the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) therapist able to see you if there is no one in your area who can provide what you want/need? Then all you would need to do is make sure the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) has a webcam and that you do. It would be cheaper to send a webcam to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) rather than pay for this second therapist. Just some thoughts. Univ profs are EXCELLEMT resources - they will problem know a number of tdocs in the area. [/QUOTE]
