Why do people choose
private pay over insurance?
There are a number of advantages that paying out of pocket (private pay) can have over using your insurance that we would like to make sure you understand so that you can get the
best care possible to meet your mental health needs.
Confidentiality
Submitting your health information to insurance can impact insurance rates and even employment (depending on your line of work).
Not Receiving Diagnosis
Many people don’t realize that a diagnosis can follow your health history for many years or even a lifetime and this can have an impact on things down the road. Insurance often requires a diagnosis to justify care. Private pay can avoid that.
Control of Your Treatment
Insurance companies can dictate type of care and length of care. This is best left up to a counselor who is connected with you on a regular basis rather than a third party.
Easy Process
Private pay involves a much simpler and less time consuming process to get you in and get the care you need.
Flexible Scheduling
With time limits not dictated by the insurance company, you can have a higher degree of flexibility to have shorter or longer sessions and different types of sessions that insurance may not cover but might be the best fit for your needs.
