Veterans, once they navigate through the “horrors” of dealing with the VAMC, and gaining an “authorization,” do not have to pay for their therapy. (That process — of getting an authorization — is do-able, but colored by very long waits on hold, very hopeful wrong information from very friendly customer service representatives [if you are not disconnected when they pick up the line], and just the general woes of dealing with a huge “online” bureaucracy, a process that has to be repeated every six to 12 months. While Dr. Daley can SOMETIMES get services re-authorized for you, sometimes he cannot. Your “MYHEALTHVET” electronic communication with your Primary Care Provider (if you do not know who your Primary Care Provider is, your MYHEALTHYVET system should tell you) will be your fastest route to gaining an authorization or re-authorization. This process used to be simple, but, as the VAMC has moved into the modern “huge corporation online” world, it has become very difficult for veterans to get an authorization/re-authorization.) If you have other health insurance coverage, you are often wiser to use that; if you do not have other health insurance coverage, we will help you navigate the VAMC as best we can.

To avoid a horrible “surprise” (in the form of a huge bill), we recommend that you contact your health insurance company and learn what coverage you have for psychological services (for Individual Psychotherapy, ask about their coverage for “Individual Psychotherapy, CPT code 90837”) provided by a licensed psychologist. Most people with “dual” coverage — coverage by more than one insurance company — do not end up paying anything out-of-pocket. However, again, before you even schedule an appointment — or at least early on — call your insurance companies and ask about their coverage for psychotherapy from a licensed psychologist.
