Advantages of self-paying for therapy
- No insurance company making your treatment decisions for you
- No insurance copays or deductibles to worry about
- Know exactly what you are paying for each session, with no surprise charges
Additional considerations:
- Health insurance plans vary greatly, but many require you to meet a yearly deductible before they will cover services.
- Many insurance plans require you to pay a copay for each session.
- In most insurance based clinics, therapy sessions are scheduled at a frequency of 2 or 3 times per week. In a scenario where your insurance requires a $35 copay, you would be paying $70-$105 each week in copays alone!
