It seems like a widespread issue as well. In my area (pop. ~300,000) there is one child psychologist and one adult psychologists who practices elsewhere half-time. I was not aware of insurance companies refusing to contract with psychologists but that explains the dearth of psychologists. If I was a psychologist I wouldn't want to offer services if I cannot accept the main form of payment patients would use.
- tfandango 7y agoIn my area there are plenty of mental health care psychologists, but unfortunately none of them take my insurance (UHC, one of the biggest if not the biggest insurers). So I pay out of pocket since my out-of-network deductible is so high I'll never reach it. Neither UHC or my employer care about this.
