Does GHI cover Mental Health services(psychologists)?

anonymous

I have never been to a psychologist before.

I am covered under my father's insurance - GHI.

Does GHI cover mental health services (psycholgists)? If not, how much is the average cost of 1 visit?

Also, If I see a psychologist, using my father's insurance (if it covers mental health), is there any way that my father would know about 1 - my visit and 2 - diagnoses (if any) ??

Help?

*in NY*

Update:

knowing that i see a psychologist and the visit dates wont bother me, my dad would let me use his insurance anytime i need to. but anything about diagnoses .. idont want him to know, he'll take it the wrong way. what about hippa - things are supp to be kept confidential?

If it's his insurance, it's more than likley he will find out your diagnoses and visit dates.
