I'm paying for the low deductible insurance at my company (higher cost, supposed to be better benefits). I made an appointment for diagnostic assessment at the beginning of the year, their next available appointment was SEPTEMBER 30. They called me yesterday with the estimated cost to me after insurance (I mean nice that they do that but you'll see why...) It's going to cost me $800.

Yeah ok. Guess I'll just remain self-diagnosed.

I contribute to an FSA but my job does not bc they're dumb in that regard, so I should have some funds in there as I haven't been going to therapy all year basically despite thinking I would be and planning my contributions to include a copay for that. Buy I still think it will be several hundred out of pocket which I'm not sure I'll be able to do as my savings got decimated this spring. I'm mostly just enraged that this isn't covered more by insurance and it's kicking my justice sensitivity rage into gear. I figured posting might be illustrative for those seeking a diagnosis and or those complaining about the rate of self diagnosis.

Heard, and understood. I hope things start to go better for in this area.
