Question by John T: Do most health insurance companies cover psychiatrist visits?
Right now I only pay $ 5-$ 15 for medication, but am not sure if a Psych appointment would be covered just like a regular doctor?

Best answer:

Answer by Big D
Contact your insurance provider.

Answer by michele
Some do, and others do not.

If you flip your insurance card to the back, there will likely be a number there to call for “behavioral health and substance abuse services” (or similar wording).

Give them a call to find out about the details.

Although mental health parity laws have been passed, they were written in such a way that insurance companies can still have different co-pays and such for psych. services.

Your best bet truly is to call and find out for sure.

Best of luck,

Question by Justin M: Will xxtra clean detox work?
Test is at 9am tomorrow morning. It will be 15 days since I smoked last. The guy at the head shop was very confident. I’ve been drinking tons of water and cranberry juice and eating niacin like they’re skittles. Of course I will follow the directions on the bottle.

Best answer:

Answer by jb
At 15 days, it’s entirely possible that you will pass the test anyway, so keep that in mind if you do.
(Please don’t attribute passing a test to a coincidental handful of niacin and a “detox” kit”.)

There are medical detoxes, for chemical exposures/overdoses, and detoxing from abusing substances in alcohol & drug treatment centers. Otherwise there is no such thing as a detox. Your liver and kidneys are what handle the task of purifying your system.
