Frequency of therapy sessions

Posted by Ame Sans Vie on August 14, 2003, at 17:46:32

Well, since Medicaid will stop covering my therapy after January 5, I'm considering seeing my therapist weekly or even bi-weekly until then in hopes that I can receive maximum benefit from what little time I have left.

But I wonder, is it frequency of the sessions or total length of time spent in therapy that really matters?

I dunno. I suspect it's a number of variables. Going more frequently keeps you immersed in what you're doing. Going longer gives your brain more time to take in changes. But I've heard that a lot of good work can be done when there's a final termination date set as well. That it's a big motivator to speed change.

What does your therapist think?

Medicare still pays for therapy, but I wonder how it works when you have both. I mean, Medicare pays first, then medi-cal (california's version of medicaid) picks up the co-payments and deductibles. If medicaid does NOT pay for therapy but medicare DOES, will medicaid refuse to pick up the copay?

hmmmm

confusing
