You're right, Shelley. I went weekly for about a year with my psychiatrist, and weekly for about six months with my therapist. (In the beginning, I went twice weekly.)
But my Blue Cross is also a very liberal policy. The insurance company hasn't questioned the doctors' judgment in my case, and I have had several more-frequent therapy sessions.
They also paid for accupuncture treatments! (My copay was $10.)
I'm sorry if my post was misleading. I guess because I have not been in such severe need, I didn't realize it would be different. I'm sure there are coverage limits in my policy too--that once I got over $5,000 per year (or some odd amount), I would have to pay for my own therapy out of pocket.
Still, some insurance coverage would be better than none, I would think.
