Hi, not sure if any of you guys know this info.
o just had a consultation call with a client and asked if I accept insurance for my sessions.
she has heavy codependency issues and need help…. I heard someone was saying BQH would be accepted as a form of therapy so it can be covered by the insurance in the USA for a client to pay for us.Does anybody know info about this…?

Clinical hypnotherapy would be covered but not QHHT or BQH as they are not true medically recognized therapies. Ultimately you’ll need to check with your specific state for particulars which include liability insurance needs, if any.

I’m sure it’s one reason Alba Weinman, for example, also studied clinical hypnotherapy. She needed it to legally practice in Florida, but it would have also given her the ability to charge insurance companies. (I don’t actually know that, but I’m guessing.)
Most of us just want to keep under the radar, given that we’re doing something so unorthodox.

Clinical hypnotherapy is only covered in hospital settings, there is a push by many hypnotherapy schools to classify it as an adjunct modality that can be prescribed by medical doctors – but in most cases, it is not covered. It can also be covered if used by licensed clinical psychologists or psychiatrists as a part of their mental health treatment. No ‘alternative” modalities are covered by insurance.
By the way, the insurance pays very little to the therapist – only about 40-50$ an hour or so to my knowledge, most psychotherapists prefer to take clients who pay out of pocket, so I doubt Alba would take insurance even if it was possible.
