The four figures, and where your plan hides them
- Copay
- A flat amount per visit. On your Summary of Benefits, look for the row "Mental/behavioral health outpatient services" under "If you need mental health services". Most plans charge it from the first visit.
- Coinsurance
- A percentage of the allowed amount, charged after the deductible. The same row will say "20% coinsurance" or similar.
- Deductible and how much is met
- Your insurer's app or member portal shows both, usually on the first screen. "Individual, in-network" is the one that matters here.
- Allowed amount
- What the plan pays an in-network therapist for a 45-minute session (CPT code 90834). Call the number on your card and ask; around $150 is typical in New York.

All plans we acceptTherapy cost questions
Does my deductible apply to therapy sessions?⌄
On most plans, no. Outpatient mental health visits are usually charged a copay from the first visit, the same as a doctor's office visit, and the deductible is waived. The exception is high deductible health plans (the kind paired with an HSA), where you pay the plan's allowed amount for each session until the deductible is met. Your Summary of Benefits says which; if it lists a dollar copay for mental health office visits with no asterisk about the deductible, it is waived.
What is the allowed amount, and why does it matter?⌄
It is the fee your insurer has agreed to pay an in-network therapist, which is usually less than the therapist's private rate. If you pay coinsurance, your share is a percentage of this figure, not of the sticker price. If your deductible applies, each session counts the allowed amount toward it. For a 45-minute session (CPT 90834) in New York, allowed amounts commonly fall between $100 and $180.
How much do Crown Counseling clients actually pay?⌄
It depends on the plan, but our in-network clients most often pay $0 to $35 a session. The averages by insurer are on our insurance pages, and we verify your exact copay with your insurer before your first appointment, so there is no surprise.
What about out-of-network therapy?⌄
That is a different calculation: you pay the full fee and the insurer reimburses a share after a separate, usually higher, deductible. Our out-of-network page has a calculator for it.
Is anything I enter stored?⌄
No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.
