Kaiser is stingy about patients mental health

Published Saturday, January 5, 2019

Every time I called Kaiser, I was told that I could not receive regular mental health treatment outside of care for an emergency psychiatric event. How is an insurance company so focused on patients “thriving” so incredibly stingy when it comes to patients’ mental health? I tell everyone I know who is considering Kaiser to think twice before choosing this insurance if they ever need therapy or counseling.
