This also means that all therapists are subject to the reporting and confidentiality agreements of their state’s licensing board, which help protect data from illegal dissemination. Since Regain doesn’t currently work with insurance providers, your data is not shared or filed with them. 

Request to have data shared with third parties

If, for some reason, you need your data to be shared with a third party, you can request that your therapist facilitate this process. You might consider asking your therapist exactly what information is shared in these cases and what personally identifiable information can be safeguarded.
