Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
No meantal health coverage at all would strike me as weird, given that you seem to have good overall coverage.
On the other hand, given that CA mandates parity for mental health insurance, maybe it's just part of the general policy and not listed as a separate package on your benefits site?
eta: otoh, real reality is usually a lot more like JZ describes.
I thought California invented therapy!!!
Nah, Vienna invented therapy. Then they sold the film rights to California.
ita, you should do it if a practitioner you trust is saying it's going to help you with the pain. UHC is my (evil) health insurance co. They outsource their mental health to UBH, which they own (I don't understand it). I pay an awful lot of my medical costs out of pocket because insurance companies tend to write off the treatments that work best for TOS as too alternative. But I do it because if I don't, I'll get so bad that I'll be unable to hold a job at all. And at least it can be deducted from taxes (if you have a flex spending plan or if your medical expenses are 7% or more of your income - which mine are).
Constant or chronic pain ruins your quality of life. If you believe that biofeedback will eventually lead to being in a lot less pain, then it's worth it. It's better than any little black dress, any strappy sandals, any pretty knives. It'll help you enjoy your life so much more to not be in pain.
I have enough out of pocket medical expenses, Spidra, that I just can't face doing this too. I'm already seeing four different people for the same stupid headaches. If there's stress involved in the fifth, I don't have it in me.
However, my plan indicates it is covered, so now I have to track this biofeedback lady down and tell her they're being a pain. OR talk to the insurance people.
Irony? Of course all this has given me a headache.

Virginia or West Virginia?
Virginia or West Virginia?
West Virginia, as Virginia still thinks there is a Santa Clause.
It's 36 degrees here!
No wonder it felt warm out!
Also, ita's third link is not news.

No, if you live in Virginia, you have to give up the Sanity Clause.
