Former T paid about $2,000 a month just to the person who handled his insurance reimbursements. He was a psychiatrist, and all of his patients were not in therapy, so he probably had more overall claims to put through. But still, it was a percentage of his total gross revenue for the month and not based on volume alone. (I only know this because this sub-contractor happened to come by at my regular session time to pick up her check.)
The T I have now does not handle any insurance claims, which saves him time and money.
