Is philosophical counseling covered by medical insurance?
Philosophical counseling is not considered by the medical establishment to be "health care" and thus is not covered by most medical insurance plans, however you should consult your carrier to check. While the goal of philosophical counseling is to help you lead a happier, better life, there is a sense in which it is more educational than medical. I am not providing you with medicine, nor fixing any ailment that would be considered a medical problem. Instead, my job is to provide you with the philosophical tool set that should help you navigate both the issues that you are currently dealing with, and future issues as well.
