Several years ago, my insurance broker started the quest to find the kind of insurance I wanted for my online therapy practice. I was specific in what I wanted and it was evident that one of the problems was that I wanted insurance that included coverage in the United States.

For those of us who live outside the USA, it is very hard to get global insurance coverage for counseling therapy that includes the United States. I didn’t want any exceptions in my coverage and it took my broker two years to find an insurance company that would cover me anywhere including in the United States.

This has been a journey for us, but I believe that the time is coming when insurance providers will be more open to the idea of this type of coverage for online therapy practices. In this video I talk about finding global coverage for my online therapy practice and how it came about. I share important details in order to save you time if you are looking for professional insurance for online counseling therapy.

I wish you all the best in your search for insurance coverage for your online therapy practice!

Insurance companies are highly regulated regarding the areas that they can operate in and those areas that they can’t. These restrictions are based on their licensing therefore first of all it is important that you find an insurance broker that can do the search work for you. A broker is more familiar with the restrictions within each insurance company and can help you find one that will offer the type of insurance you are looking for.

Make sure the broker understands exactly what it is that you are doing; let them know how your online or global counseling practice operates. There is a wide variety when it comes to online therapy so make it clear to them what type of online work it is that you do or wish to do.

Although I am not able to disclose the name of the company that covers my online practice, I am able to disclose the company that backs them which will help you to point your broker in the right direction or at least in a helpful direction so please watch the video.
