Using insurance
What you will pay with insurance
Most plans cover outpatient psychiatric care. Your cost depends on three things:
- Copay: a fixed amount per visit, such as $20 or $40
- Deductible: the amount you pay each year before your plan starts sharing costs
- Coinsurance: a percentage you pay after meeting your deductible, such as 20%
Medicare: after the Part B deductible, you typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and a supplemental plan may cover some or all of that. Medicare details
Apple Health (Medicaid): most members have little or no out-of-pocket cost for covered services. Apple Health details
