Way more than I would like!! Neither my T nor my Pdoc take insurance. I could claim out of network and send in the receipts, but you have to jump through all kinds of hoops with my plan to get approved for mental health coverage, especially out of network. It's more hassle than it's worth to try and get reimbursed by insurance. I just deduct it from my taxes as healthcare expenses, each year.

Right now, with new meds and a new diagnosis, I'm seeing pdoc every 2 weeks and T every week - so, that's about 25% of my income. Yes, it is very much a struggle right now. Once my pdoc appointments are able to be spaced farther out, it will drop to about 15% of my income. At the moment, I'm having to give up a lot of leisure activities to afford T and pdoc.
