Mental health care in America is supposed to be covered just like physical health—but that’s a lie. Insurance companies still deny therapy, delay medications, and force patients through endless red tape just to access the care they desperately need.

In this episode of Healthcare Hustle, I break down why mental health coverage is still failing millions, the hidden loopholes insurers use to deny care, and real stories of patients left struggling because of the system’s broken promises.

🔴 Why insurance companies still don’t treat mental health as real healthcare
🔴 How they use pre-authorization, step therapy, and ghost networks to delay care
🔴 The real cost of denied mental health treatment—lost jobs, hospitalizations, and lives ruined
🔴 How to fight back—appealing denials, demanding reviews, and using public pressure to get the care you need

If you or someone you love has been denied mental health treatment, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to accept it. Tune in, learn your rights, and join the fight to hold insurance companies accountable.
