What are the advantages of self pay?

​

No diagnosis requirement. Insurance companies require a diagnosis following your first
appointment, otherwise they will not reimburse for services. This information may become part of your medical record and be accessed by other medical providers. Some prefer to keep diagnostic information confidential. By paying a self-pay rate, no diagnosis is submitted to insurance or accessible by other medical providers without a signed release.

​

No session limitations. Insurance companies often will only cover a certain amount of sessions over a certain time frame.  Self pay alleviates the pressure of this and gives therapeutic freedom for you to attend therapy as long as you and your therapist see fit. 

​

Choice of therapist. Clients who wish to stay in network may not always find a provider with whom they are comfortable, or who has experience dealing with the types of issues the client wishes to address. With self pay you are able to see whoever you feel is the best fit for you, typically allowing you to work with someone who specializes in your unique needs.

​

The freedom, flexibility and time to focus on what matters most: the therapeutic alliance and
your path to wellness.
