"Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?" the X page for the Sesame Street character posted. Many answers were brutally honest and downright cynical about the dread people are feeling.
Check the HR, insurance extras or employee perks whatever page or call the insurance about Behavioral Health programs. Some companies (not enough by far) have some free or lower cost providers in those programs. Not just EAP, which is also a great offering, just usually not long term. Some, it may just be “virtual in-network visits” are discounted over “in person” visits or something simple. A common obe I see is ~5-8 free w/the matched provider then it rolls into the benefit payments if you keep them going.
Its all a very dumb game and I try to pass along any “tricks” I can find to make the system remotely usable. If anyone has any, throw 'em my way!

Yep, we’re looking at that exact option right now. 6 free to see if it’s going to work then it’s time to max that deductible!
