Health Insurance
Today, mental health benefits are provided by most insurance companies and by Medicare. There is, however, a great variance in benefits related to sessions covered and co-payments required depending on the individual insurance company and plan. Always read your policy and clarify benefits with your insurance company and, where applicable, with its managed care company as well.

Anxiety and Parents' Health Insurance Policy
"I have social anxiety disorder and was wondering how it would be possible to see someone for help without my parents knowing about it.... I want to see someone, hoping they can prescribe something for me. I'd also like to talk to someone and figure out where all this anxiety is coming from. Is there anyway that I can do to achieve this? I'm a student, currently unemployed, under my parent's insurance... hope u can help!"

Who pays for anxiety treatment?
"Most insurance plans cover treatment for anxiety disorders. People who are going to have treatment should check with their own insurance companies to find out about coverage. For people who don't have insurance, local city or county governments may offer treatment at a clinic or health center, where the cost is based on income. Medicaid plans also may pay for GAD treatment."
