A member asked:

Why isn't music therapy covered by insurances other than because it is an alternative therapy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Music: Attempting to get insurance to pay for alternative treatments is tantamount to attempting to raise the Titanic with tweezers. It's hard enough to get for them to pay for mainstream treatments let alone anything out of the ordinary. If you believe in music therapy, advocate for it!
