Make sure your insurance won’t pay- NOCD can’t bill my insurance but I called them and after talking to two people and being persistent they said it should be covered because it’s considered telehealth or something- I have to send “superbills” in and get reimbursed but they eventually pay.

Oooo I'll call to see if that's the case with me. How do you go about getting the super bill from nocd? And how long did this this process usually take for you to get reimbursed?

@Anonymous Unfortunately it took me weeks to get reimbursed. Like a month. But the check finally came. When I called my insurance the first person I talk to didn’t think it would be covered but she clearly didn’t know for sure. So I called back another day and talked to another person Who seemed more knowledgeable, she said that it should be covered because of pandemic coverage of remote care. I made sure to write down the reference number for the call which I asked the insurance lady for. My therapist shared the email address for nocd billing, I asked them for the super bills and wrote up a letter to my insurance asking for reimbursement referencing my phone call and the reference number for the call, ( I was following instructions I found on my insurance’s website for “medical claims.”) I sent the superbills for each appt and the letter in the mail to my insurance. A month later I got a check. Obviously this will not work for everyone necessarily and it was a pain in the ass. Just hoping more people can find out they are covered if they do the paper work.

I’m in the same boat, I got stuck going with a regular therapist, I hope she has some kind of clue of what ocd is, better than nothing I guess though, first appointment is tomorrow 🤞🏼

this happened to me. NOCD didn’t accept my insurance so i literally switched to Medicaid mid-therapy to get a back pay. turns out they don’t accept CareSource Medicaid either?? (even though i was told they should) so i spent like $700 out of pocket that i assumed would be covered 😬 at the same time though, i needed the therapy, so i’m glad i did it!

It’s $150 per 60 or 90 minute session. I’ll need them twice a week for three weeks, plus some follow-ups—so that’s over $900.

@Anon Y. Mous Yes I know how sessions are lined up thats why I said 6 sessions plus the consultation. As everyone else said you can call your insurance and Ask them. Lots of insurance allows you to do a super bill

@Justmesadly The way you said it, it sounded like the total cost for all six sessions is $150. Anyway, as for me, I’ve already contacted my insurance and NOCD. NOCD does not accept my insurance. NOCD was a bit misleading. They offered me CPT codes to try, and then my insurance said they’d accept them, and so I gave NOCD my insurance information and they told me my insurance is not accepted. I don’t know why NOCD would lead me on like that. So I’ll have to find another insurance plan next month, which doesn’t help me since I need more immediate care.

@Anon Y. Mous Yes I understand they don’t accept mine either. As I said you can call your insurance and ask them to take it. Mine said yes as someone else commented as well!

Getting through life when therapy is unaffordable
Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a difficult situation and I wanted to ask for some advice. I recently finished my studies and I am living from my savings while I look for a job. However this process has turned out to be a lot more difficult and tedious than I expected. I suspect I have OCD as I relate to a lot of the experiences described here, in particular those corresponding to pure OCD. I have continuous intrusive thoughts about how what I'm currently doing is not enough, I constantly need to reassured that what I'm doing is right, with some magical thinking and concerns about my relationship sprinkled in. These intrusive thoughts have made it very difficult to make any significant progress in looking for something. Added to this I'm not even sure I have OCD as I don't have the money to afford therapy right now (my mind keeps telling me that it's silly to write this message because there's no way I have OCD). I live in Switzerland so as far as I understand my insurance won't cover sessions with NOCD. In conclusion I'm a bit stuck, therapy would help with finding a job but I need a job to get therapy. If any of you have had any similar experience and have some piece of advice it would be very welcome.

Rough time getting started in therapy
Has anyone else had a rough start? I’m 4 sessions in and have had no actual ERP work happen, I have 2 different therapists because none have availability to meet 2 times a week. Both those therapists are not available for the next 2 weeks so now I’m going to see a new 3rd one. Each time I’ve seen a new therapist I feel like the whole first session is spent with them re explaining everything. I’m paying for this out of pocket because they don’t accept Tricare which is my insurance as a Retired Marine. So I’m 960 in, and honestly feel worse than when I started. I get zero suggestions on what to do between sessions and feel so incomplete after my session finishes. I feel like I’ve gotten more help asking chat gpt questions on EPR and how to deal with ROCD than I do in my sessions . Does anyone have any insight or helpful advice here?

Don’t know what’s gonna happen.
Anybody here worried about this bill that just passed? My OCD is firing up again. I’m a community college student here in California who is about to turn 26 this mid November, which means I’m going to be booted off of my father’s health insurance as the law requires. And right now, my mental health (OCD that I’m trying to get diagnosed, anxiety, depression, PTSD that I’m trying to get diagnosed) is the worst that it’s probably ever been!!! And I don’t see it getting miraculously better anytime soon, these conditions are definitely chronic and will be following me for the rest of my life due to my long history of them (never got formal help until I was 16 though). I’ve been battling this stuff since I was just a little girl in the 2000s. After I turn 26 this year, I was just planning to enroll in Medicaid (Medi-Cal) when the time came so I could focus on continuing my schooling and treating my severe mental health issues along the way. I was actually feeling hopeful for once about my life. It’s going to be absolutely devastating if I lose healthcare coverage just because I won’t be able to bypass the red tape being put into place and meet those rigid requirements that the bill is going to require. There is only so much I can handle at one time due to my disabilities. I admire people who can do so many things at once (work a job, go to school, take care of children, etc.), but it’s just not me. It’s a miracle after everything, that I’m even in school and doing okay with it (4.0 GPA). I’m even enrolled in my school’s DSPS (program for disabled students). There has to be something that can be done. Losing my access to psych meds and therapy is going to make my life so much harder than it already is. It could probably even straight up kill me, which would be devastating for my family to have see me pass so horribly. Whether it’s from untreated mental illnesses or from the simple fact that I could get sick and die from whatever else due to not being able to access healthcare. Sorry for the long post. But I seriously cannot be alone in this right now…
