Counseling/ Mental Health Services Fee's Standard Practices used when seeing a Licensed Professional Counselor 1.You must be diagnosed with a mental disorder to receive reimbursement from your insurance company (in-network or out-of-network). Perhaps the biggest reason to self pay! To use insurance a provider must submit to a diagnosis. Health insurance assumes that you have a mental illness, and need treatment. While there are certainly times when a diagnosis is warranted and useful, there are also instances when his can be detrimental. 2.Investment in your mental health. While you are clearly making a time investment by attending therapy, it has been our experience that people who pay out-of-pocket tend to bring their investment to a significantly deeper level. They tend to make better use of the time, and are more strongly motivated to bring their emotions and thoughts into their work. These all tend to result in deeper, quicker, and more meaningful change. 3.Control.Paying out of pocket puts you in control of your treatment, not your insurance provider. While you are making investments in yourself with your time and energy, do you want your insurance company to dictate how frequently you can come to therapy, or when they think you are finished? These “one-size-fits-all” approaches might not be for you. Do you want to have your insurance provider decide the predetermined treatments and number of sessions allotted? 4. Privacy. While information about your treatment is protected by law, you may feel more comfortable knowing that there is not a third-party, i.e., your employer, being privy to your personal life. Moreover, while our increased use of technology has had great benefits, it also leads to greater risk of information breach. The fewer systems that have access to your information, the less risk there is of a breach in your privacy and with employers having access to sensitive information, therefore jeopardizing job security. 5. Insurance time consumption. When using insurance to pay for sessions you may have to engage in lengthy phone calls, letter writing, and, at times, waiting for reimbursements to take place.
