Therapy Insurance, Coverage & Self-Pay Rates
Understanding the cost of therapy should not feel confusing. New Leaf Psych accepts a variety of insurance plans and also offers straightforward self-pay rates for clients who prefer not to use insurance or whose plan is not currently in network.
Because insurance coverage varies by plan, employer, service, and clinician, being listed as in-network does not guarantee that every service will be covered or that your out-of-pocket cost will be the same as someone else's. We are happy to help you verify your benefits before your first appointment.
Insurances Accepted by Our Therapists
Insurance participation varies by clinician. Please verify your benefits with your insurance company, as coverage can depend on your specific plan, services, and out-of-pocket costs.

Understanding Your Insurance Coverage
-
Your actual cost depends on your individual insurance plan.
Depending on your benefits, you may have:
A copay for each appointment
Coinsurance
A deductible that must be met before your plan begins paying
Different coverage for behavioral health services
Different in-network benefits depending on the clinician
The most reliable way to determine your responsibility is to verify your behavioral health benefits directly with your insurance company.
New Leaf Psych can also help verify your coverage when you request an appointment.
-
If you would like to confirm your benefits yourself, ask your insurance company:
Is this New Leaf Psychotherapy clinician in-network with my specific plan?
Do I have outpatient behavioral health benefits?
What is my copay or coinsurance for outpatient psychotherapy?
Do I have a deductible?
If so, how much of my deductible has already been met?
Are telehealth behavioral health visits covered?
Do I need a referral or prior authorization?
Are there limits on the number of psychotherapy visits covered each year?
If your insurance company asks about common outpatient psychotherapy services, an initial appointment may be billed as a diagnostic assessment, while ongoing psychotherapy is billed according to the service and session length provided.
-
Insurance networks can vary by clinician and change over time.
If you do not see your insurance plan listed, contact us before assuming that your plan is not accepted. We can review the clinician you are interested in seeing and help determine whether that clinician participates with your plan.
You may also choose to use the self-pay rates listed above.
-
Many insurance plans cover behavioral-health appointments provided through telehealth, but coverage depends on your individual plan.
New Leaf Psych provides secure virtual therapy to clients located throughout the state of Ohio. We recommend confirming your plan's telehealth behavioral-health benefits when verifying coverage.
