- Do I have coverage for outpatient mental health care in Illinois?
- What is my deductible for outpatient mental health services? Ask if you need to meet the deductible before any benefits start.
- What is my coverage for outpatient mental health services? Sometimes you will have a “copay”- meaning it is a fixed dollar amount you pay per visit. Other times there is co-insurance, meaning your insurance company will pay a percentage of the mental health services fee, and then you pay the remaining percentage.
- Ask if you need a referral. Some plans require that a primary care physician give you a referral. This means you will need to see a primary care physician first before you can receive therapy and psychiatry services.
