Benefits of Paying Out-of-Pocket:
There are some notable benefits of not using insurance but rather paying out-of-pocket for mental health treatment. One benefit is increased privacy of information. Insurance companies require that a diagnosis be provided for service coverage as this demonstrates a medical necessity. This information becomes part of you or your child's medical record and is less confidential as it travels through the processes/systems of the insurance company. By paying out-of-pocket, information would be more private.
Secondly, insurance companies often dictate the length and frequency of treatment provided and even the type of treatment provided. By paying out-of-pocket, you and your therapist determine these goals together and there is much more room for flexibility.
