Is A Psychologist Covered By Health Insurance? 
The short answer to this question is `` some times . '' Psychology is usually is covered by most health insurance plans , but not always . It is also important to note that most insurance policies will have a limit on the number of visits that are covered each year , and that not all psychologists accept all health insurance policies . Before seeking care from a psychologist , you should make sure they accept your personal health insurance policy , and also contact your insurance provider or consult your policy to find out if there are any limits on the number of visits covered each calendar year . Some companies may also require you to see your primary care doctor in order to receive a referral to see a psychologist . If you do not yet have health coverage , I would encourage you to consult an independent licensed , certified health insurance agent that can review your situation and make a recommendation on which policy would be best for you based on your personal needs .
