We now accept CIGNA insurance plans! Couples on The Brink is the first and only couples therapy program in the nation to be recognized by a major insurance company. Until recently, we have been reluctant to participate with insurance companies because of their lack of recognition in reimbursing for couples therapy. However, CIGNA Behavioral Care has taken a great leap forward in recognizing the need for couples therapy to be a reimbursable service. We suggest to couples who have insurance for traditional marriage counseling to consider using their insurance benefits only after understanding the full implications of doing so. Traditional health Insurance will not pay for couples counseling unless your therapist diagnoses you or your spouse with a mental disorder.
If you see a marriage counselor who takes your insurance, you can be certain that you or your partner (sometimes both!) have been diagnosed with a mental disorder. This can stay on your record for years to come and may prevent you from obtaining a job or qualifying for other types of insurance. Also, if you really do not have a mental disorder, but it's been diagnosed just to collect insurance, your insurance company may challenge the diagnosis leaving you responsible for the bill. It's just not worth the risk.
