1. Ask about therapy benefits
Ask whether outpatient mental health or behavioral health services are covered and whether your plan requires a referral or prior authorization.
Insurance & payment
We want the financial side of care to feel as clear and workable as possible. This page offers a starting point for navigating insurance, self-pay, and out-of-network options.
Understanding coverage
Insurance benefits can look different from one plan to another, including which services are covered, your deductible, copay, or coinsurance. The most reliable way to understand your individual benefits is to contact your insurance company directly before your first appointment.
Ask whether outpatient mental health or behavioral health services are covered and whether your plan requires a referral or prior authorization.
Confirm your deductible, copay, coinsurance, and any visit limits that may apply to counseling services.
If you have a clinician in mind, ask whether they are in network with your plan or whether your plan offers out-of-network reimbursement.
Payment options
Out-of-pocket rates are available upon request. For those using self-pay, fees and payment arrangements are discussed directly with your clinician or during your first conversation with the collective. We will aim to be transparent about the expected cost of care and answer questions you may have before scheduling.
Out-of-network guidance
Out-of-network care may still be an option if your plan includes reimbursement for services from providers who are not in your network.
If you plan to seek reimbursement, your insurance company can explain its process and let you know what documentation it needs. We encourage you to ask about your out-of-network benefits before care begins.
Questions about fit, fees, or using your benefits are welcome. We can help you understand the next step before you begin.
