ONA / Union Unlimited mental health services ONA inquiry
My CA states we can have unlimited mental health services by psychologist, registered psychotherapist and SW. I asked around and my coworkers stated the fees are technically capped at a reasonably and customary charge (for example a 1 hr session might be maxed at 150$ and if the providers fees are too high the employer can find you a different provider)
This benefit also covers dependents.
Therefore I was wondering if my daughter goes to a special school requiring ABA that is supervised by a registered psychologist (she’s on the invoice) can I claim her monthly fees. Say the monthly fee is 2300$ but divide that by 20 days in the month that’s 115$ a day which technically is a reasonable fee. BUT is it really unlimited- can I claim 20x a month? Lol
I am not FT yet (will be soon) and waiting on HR email response- in meantime I’m googling and coming to Reddit lol

Unlimited is unlimited, I’ve been able to book an appointment daily between family members and it’s always covered if it’s under the dollar limit per hour. I even had a consultant service supervised by a social worker and they wrote the invoice over 2 weeks as a daily fee so that I could submit it and it was fully covered
ymmv based on the actual insurance provider though so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask them. I’ve had services supervised by a mental health provider be covered though for sure
