About Session Covered
Session Covered exists because the behavioral health insurance system is designed to be confusing. Every article on this site is written from the perspective of a licensed therapist who navigates insurance companies, files claims, fights denials, and explains benefits to patients as part of daily clinical work.
The guides here reflect what actually happens when you try to use your insurance for therapy, not what your plan's summary of benefits says should happen.
Editorial Standards
Every article is researched against current plan documents, CMS guidelines, and state insurance regulations. We cite primary sources, link to authoritative references, and update content when policy changes occur. Insurance rules change frequently. Articles display their last-updated date so you can verify currency.
