Payment can be a concern as you begin psychotherapy. Even if you are covered, be sure to check with your insurance company about the benefits provided by your plan for outpatient mental health office visits. You should ask if there is a deductible, what the copay amount is, and what percentage or dollar amount is paid per session. Ask if there is a limited number of sessions allowed per year. Bring your insurance card with you, if you have one, or bring the policy and plan ID numbers. Make sure you have the address and phone numbers for your insurance company when you come to your first session.
