Description:
Cover My Mental Health is a non-profit that provides encouragement and resources towards overcoming health insurer obstacles to mental health and substance use disorder care.
Cover My Mental Health resources include worksheets to address network directories that offer no in-network clinician, template letters for clinicians to overcome denials for “not medically necessary,” guidance to address barriers to telehealth.
Our resources for follow-up steps will be shared to further encourage available actions before complex, legalistic appeals.
Examples of success stories will be shared from the use of our resources by patients and clinicians.
Objectives:
- The audience will learn about common insurance company obstacles to mental health and substance use disorder care and specific tactics available to overcome those obstacles.
- The audience will learn about potential actions that can be taken to push back against insurance company obstacles that are not revealed in insurance policies and may provide more timely results than formal insurance appeals.
- The audience will learn about the important support available from friends or family members, from employers, and from government towards overcoming insurance obstacles.

Our affiliate was started in the early 1990’s by a group of family members who were all dealing with the challenges of loved ones with mental illness. They offered a Family to Family class and that was the beginning of our affiliate, which now serves over 17 communities in our catchment area.
