Many people have helath insurance plans to help pay for the cost of therapy sessions. I am a "participating provider" with the following:
Aetna
Anthem Blue Shield
Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Federal, and Indemnity plans,
Cigna
Health New England
Medicare
Pioneer
Tufts Health
United Behavioral Health
and a variety of Employee Assistance Programs.
Your insurance company will pay a portion (or all) of your bill, usually requiring that you pay a portion - a "Co-payment".
The amount of the co-payment varies considerably dependent of the insurance plan.
If you will be using your health insurance plan to assist in paying for therapy, you may need the insurance company's
authorization.
Your insurance card will list a phone number for behavioral/mental health. Please phone to obtain authorization
and co-pay/session limit information.
Remember to bring that authorization number to your first session.
