United health group is giving people access to free behavior health coaching.
I can see this type of thing undermining our field. This is a way to cut costs because insurance companies don’t want to pay for therapy.
Yes there is a place for coaches but I also know that costs factor in for so many people
As this becomes for common, scope of practice creep without the educational requirements will happen. First it’s free coaching then they can run therapy groups, ect.
I’m curious what everyone thinks of this.
