Can Insurance be Used to Pay for Marriage Counseling?

A relationship based on romance is one of the deepest and strongest emotional connections between two individuals. Choosing the person to have a relationship with and tiding together through life’s ups and downs, however, is rarely uncomplicated. Adding to the complexity is the decision to get married and have a family.

Very few relationships are conflict-free in nature. If yours begins to show cracks and falter, your health and happiness equally suffer. As a couple, the first instinct is either to resolve the problems on your own or just let problems ruin the union to waste. It is always a valuable option to seek outside intervention.

One route you may take in getting help to improve or salvage your relationship is marriage or couples counseling. However, the idea of getting counseling involves costs. Having an insurance to pay for the expenses is an advantage in terms of seeing a therapist regularly. In recent years, it has become easier to use your insurance benefits when deciding to seek marriage counselling, or for a better term – “family counselling.”

Getting Covered for Counseling

As a point of awareness, most insurance companies will not reimburse or pay for marriage counseling, often used interchangeable with couples counseling. Instead, they will cover Family Counseling. Family Counseling is when a member or dependent member has a diagnosable psychological or emotional health condition, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, adjustment issues, and so many more! This person is referred to as the “client”.

When the spouse of the client takes part in the session, it becomes family counseling. Therapists believe that treating marital problems within the context of the family environment can alleviate the symptoms that led you to seek counseling in the first place. As a result, it significantly improves the relationship and helps both the client and the spouse to function normally as well.
