Why do I need to choose this Psychiatry service and pay for it privately?
- By choosing to pay privately for psychiatry services, one may find more flexibility, convenience, and privacy.
- Flexibility: Often in our medical system, we work on diagnoses, and insurance requires a certain level of pathology to qualify for reimbursement. Many patients instead want to work on exploring health, building skills, or having a safe place to process difficult educational, work or family changes. If one would like the focus of visits to be about personal goals and not ones that are dictated by insurance requirements, private pay may be a great option.
- Convenience: Many insurance companies require that you select a provider that has been approved by them, known as “in-network.” With private pay, the patient regains control of seeking his or her preferred service provider that is compatible to his or her needs, specialty training, and comfort level.
- Privacy: Last, by choosing to pay privately for services, the patient is electing to seek more confidentiality as private health information is not required to be shared with insurance if not paying for services through them. Some people also choose private pay when they are worried about having a pre-existing condition on their health record which may affect their Job, relationship, and Insurance premiums.
