#like. my doctor puts in a request for PT/OT for my tennis elbow and you guys THE NEXT DAY call and are like 'u sad? Get Fixed'

I know that it keeps costs down or whatever, but I am soooooo tired of getting contacted by AbleTo on behalf of Harvard Pilgrim whenever a doctor bills insurance for a new diagnosis in a specific category. It particularly infuriates me that I can't tell which diagnoses are triggering the calls. (And no, they can't tell me, I asked.)

Like, sorry Mary but I'm pretty sure an 8-week course of CBT, my least favorite therapy modality, is not going to significantly change the insurance cost for my multiple lifelong chronic illnesses/disabilities. You are literally already paying for my behavioral healthcare. It's wayyyy too late to try to divert me away from developing depression by having some "coach" try to make me reframe my negative thoughts about chronic pain for a couple of months.
