Thank you all for your support and suggestions. It does help me keep this in perspective. I will have to explore what options I have. I highly doubt he'd take just my co pay as payment, though a sliding scale fee would seem fair. I'm unfortunately not in a position to change insurance. It is a family plan under my husbands corporate policy. It is actually one of the best in the country for patients even in mental health. It's the providers that they are terrible for. Doctor reimbursement is very low.
