How Insurance Works for Therapy

Using insurance for therapy is often simpler than people expect, but there are a few terms worth understanding before your first session.

Your deductible is the amount you pay out-of-pocket before insurance begins covering costs. Once met, your insurance pays a portion and you pay a copay or coinsurance — often between $20–$50 per session depending on your plan.

Your out-of-pocket maximum is the most you'll ever pay in a year. After that, insurance covers 100% of covered services.

When you book with Align Minds, our team will verify your benefits before your first session so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises.

What to Have Ready

When you reach out, it helps to have your insurance card handy. We'll need your member ID, group number, and the name of your plan to verify your benefits quickly. We handle the verification so you can focus on getting started.

Self-Pay Options

If you prefer not to use insurance or your plan isn't accepted, self-pay sessions are available at competitive rates. Ask about our sliding scale options if cost is a concern — we want to make therapy accessible.

Common Questions

Insurance FAQs

Does insurance cover virtual/online therapy?

Yes — most major insurance plans now cover telehealth therapy at the same rate as in-person sessions. This became standard during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and most plans have maintained it. We'll confirm your telehealth coverage when we verify your benefits.

How do I find out what my insurance covers?

You can call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask about your mental health or behavioral health benefits. Alternatively, just reach out to us — we're happy to verify your benefits on your behalf before your first appointment.

Will my employer know I'm in therapy?

No. Your therapy is protected by HIPAA privacy laws. While your insurance company knows you've used mental health benefits (as with any medical claim), your employer does not receive information about what services you use or why.

What if I've already met my deductible?

If you've already met your annual deductible, you'll typically only pay your copay or coinsurance per session — often a much lower amount. This makes the end of the year a great time to start therapy if you've been considering it.

Do you offer a sliding scale for those without insurance?

Yes. We believe financial barriers shouldn't stand between someone and mental health care. Please contact us to discuss self-pay rates and sliding scale availability — we'll do our best to find something that works for your situation.
