Payment Options and Rates

Payment Options

Here at Moving Forward Therapy and Beyond, we aim to serve the communities of Texas and Florida. We understand everyone’s financial situation is different. This allows us to provide various payment options to ensure you get the mental health services you need. 

All the different types of payment options have pros and cons. For example, private/self-pay allows the client to have more “control” over the services they sign up for and does not require a diagnosis. Yet utilizing insurance requires a diagnosis, and the client does not get a say in the parameters regarding the authorized services or length of services around approved benefits. After reviewing the payment options, talk with your provider about the options that are best for you.  

Private Pay and Rates

Private pay means the client pays out of pocket for the full amount of services directly at the time of service (when scheduling an appointment) without the involvement of insurance providers to cover the cost. Each provider determines their rates for services. 

Insurance

Services can be covered in whole or in part, depending on your current health insurance provider or employee benefit plan. Please contact your provider to verify how your plan compensates you for psychotherapy services.

I’d recommend asking these questions to your insurance provider to help determine your benefits:

• Does my health insurance plan include mental health benefits?
• Do I have a deductible? If so, what is it, and have I met it yet?
• Does my plan limit how many sessions per calendar year I can have? If so, what is the limit?
• Do I need written approval from my primary care physician for services to be covered?

In-Network:

Check with your provider to see what in-network insurances are accepted. 

Medicare/Medicaid clients need to check with their insurance companies to see if they will allow services to be rendered as private pay. 

*Moving Forward Therapy and Beyond does not guarantee insurance coverage or reimbursement for services rendered. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure insurance will cover the cost of their services. 

Out-of-Network:

Moving Forward Therapy and Beyond has partnered with Mentaya, a service that streamlines reimbursement for therapy sessions through out-of-network benefits.
