Insurance for Coaching Coaching is not an insurance reimburseable service.  To use your mental health insurance benefits, we would not be able to have a coaching relationship, you would have to see a psychologist or psychotherapist, and you would have to be given a mental illness diagnoses.  Even if you are seeing a counselor who purports to do coaching, their services would not be covered by insurance.  More details ... Missed Appointments and Late Cancellations Clients are financially responsible for missed appointments and for cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice.  Since coaching is paid on a per month contract, missed appointments and late cancelled sessions may be forfeited entirely.  This is not to be punitive, but because the coaching relationship is rooted in becoming exquisitely accountable for your choices and commitments.
