I figure it's up to a T how they want to run their practice. My guess is your T brings in enough money doing it that way. Honestly, $80 an hour is a pretty good pay rate...certainly more than I make!
With my T (as well as marriage counselor and ex-T), he's out of network, so I pay him his full fee ($175--T's are quite pricey in my area), then submit to insurance for partial (60%) reimbursement. So he gets the full amount, and insurance pays me part back. Though my T also rents (or maybe owns?) his office space, so has to pay rent/mortgage on that, plus I imagine other expenses (electricity, malpractice insurance, cleaning service maybe?), so he's not actually taking all of that home. Well, plus taxes...
