I got insurance to pay for 3x/week for a few months but then they said that I need a higher level of care if I'm going that often. Now they will only pay for once a week. Any additional sessions are at the full negotiated insurance coverage rate. My T's out-of-pocket rate is $120, which is what I paid before I started using my insurance. I'm paying $92.50 now for sessions above the one a week allowed.
