U.S. answer:

If mental health is covered under your plan, and a doctor prescribes an assessment and it’s performed by a medical professional, in general yes. However, make sure it’s a medical professional in your network.

Insurance plans are so specific and vary widely from plan to plan. The best way to find out is to call your insurance company and ask them. They can give you a better answer.

Hi! I know there are a few Consultants in this bowl and had a question for them. This guy working in the Healthcare arm of Deloitte said he’s getting the Covid 19 vaccine on 28th Dec. Think that’s real? He’s young and healthy... but prone to the Pinocchio nose. All answers appreciated

Trying to have faith but my recent cycle netted 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and only 2 made it to day 5 for testing. There were 3 others that just didn’t mature. This is my third cycle and I’ve been pretty positive up until today. It’s especially hard to get this news in the middle of a work day. Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.
