An estimated 15 – 22 million mental health and substance use disorder insurance claims are denied each year by private insurers.
Cover My Mental Health supports individuals to overcome insurer obstacles to care, notably denials for “not medically necessary,” “no in-network provider” available, and other inexplicable barriers to care.
Our no-cost resources focus on immediately-available actions and related tips that encourage patients and their families not to take “no” for an answer.
