I forgot to mention that even though I have a PPO and 60 sessions a year, my therapist does not take insurance, and this means the insurance ends up paying around 50% of the fee minus the deductible. I have a secondary insurance as well, and it only ends up paying the deductible for each bill. So, I pay around 40% of the bill. It should be just dandy when I have to pay close to $2000 per month when the insurance runs out. Since he will take time off at times, maybe it will come to more like $1600 per month with no insurance.
If I go on vacation and/or take a day off when we are supposed to meet, and he can not fill the time, then I have to pay for the time even though I am not there. Those are my reserved times. That is how my therapist does things. I am aware he is in high demand with a waiting list.
