Important Note: Check your Employee Benefits Plan to see if registered social workers and/or psychotherapists are included. Some plans only cover psychologist fees.
If your employer has not been listed above it is possible that they provide coverage or will provide coverage if the employee requests.What You Can Do to Help
If you work in a unionized setting, ask your union representative to add social worker to the list of professional services covered in the employee benefits plan during the next contract negotiations.
If you work in a non-unionized setting, ask your employer or human resources department to add social worker to the list of professional services included in the employee benefits plan.
If you have private health plan, ask about adding coverage of social worker services to your plan. Tell your insurance company that you believe that social work services should be a standard benefit in all insurance policies.
