sorry about your father. Hope you are doing well. One time my p-doc (also my therapist) took a call during our visit because it was from my insurance company and he was having a hard time getting paid for my sessions for some reason (no problems apparently with other patients with the same insurance). This was very uncharacteristic of him and felt very passive-aggressive to me. When I asked him what the problem was, he said, you don't need to worry about that. But he had just used up 15 minutes of our session on the phone. Another time he called me to sy he hadn't been paid and I called the insurance company myself and fixed the problem. I didn't mind this. I do feel some responsibility to see he gets paid and one of the problems that therapists have is that, because of confidentiality, they tend to do all their own billing and deal with all the crap from insurance companies. It's a wonder more of them don't b**ch about it in sessions.
