Moberly, Mo. – September 16, 2026 -- Patients starting therapy are being urged to check their insurance benefits before booking a first appointment, according to a new article from HelloNation featuring Vicky Martin, MS, MA, LPC, of Oak Hills Behavioral Health Solutions in Moberly, Missouri.

The article notes that plans which look similar on paper can differ sharply in deductibles, co-pays, referral requirements, and limits on behavioral health visits. Those gaps often surface only after treatment has already begun, leading to unexpected bills.
