You’ve recognized that you exhibit some combination of the signs and symptoms of problematic porn use. Furthermore, your compulsive use of sexually explicit content has had a detrimental impact on your behavior along with your romantic, familial, social, and even professional life. As a result, you are ready to move forward to get help. You’ve taken an initial look at the cost of treatment and while you understand that any investment is worth the ROI in improved mental health, you would like to keep direct costs down as much as possible. This leads to your question; is porn addiction therapy covered by insurance? When you connect to the Kindbridge Behavioral Health virtual counseling platform a significant portion may very well be. It ultimately depends upon your provider. Below is a breakdown of everything you need to know to get started with more affordable treatment today.
Insurance Coverage Provided for Pornography Addiction Treatment Through Kindbridge
Insurance Accepted for Porn Addiction Therapy
Private and corporate insurance plans typically don’t explicitly reference coverage for hypersexuality disorders (i.e. problem porn use) and subsequent treatment within policy terms & conditions themselves. However, the cost of treatment can be reimbursed via the inclusion of behavioral and mental health services. Policy language regarding behavioral and mental health services are generally included in said policies. For example, the Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan Behavioral Health Network Application includes reference to sexual dysfunction for which a qualified therapist may be able to help confirm coverage for.
Kindbridge has partnered with trusted providers to enable affordable access to therapy for problem porn use to a large number of Americans. The list of insurance providers that cover this service through Kindbridge includes the following:
- Aetna
- Blue Cross
