I Might Be in Need of a Reality Check (if it doesn't bounce)

[multipurposegoddess]

I am probably being really unreasonable.

We bounced a couple of checks drawn on our HSA to pay for therapy sessions. Now our therapist wants us to pay in cash. I really don't want to do that. It is upsetting me quite a bit.

Part of it is that I just don't want to send my husband off with $100 in cash twice a week. We are still rebuilding trust and I am just not there. 

And the other part is that our insurance only authorizes $74/session and we've been paying $100. Maybe that is usual for therapy, but that's not the way it works for the rest of my medical bills. And coupling my unease over that with the feeling I have that people who insist on cash are trying to get away with something, and I am about ready to change therapists. Which would be inconvenient, but I am just really uncomfortable with the whole thing..

So, is this one of those things that I just need to get over?

Thanks. Henry had the conversation with her about that discrepancy when I wasn't there, so I don't really know how he framed it or if she justified it in some way. That may be a large part of the problem, actually - he's had all the conversations about billing with her, while I'm the one that pays the bills and gets distressed.

The sessions have definitely helped, so I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

In any case, good to know that that isn't just standard practice.
