How much does therapy cost with UnitedHealthcare?
Coverage for therapy varies widely from one UnitedHealthcare plan to another. In most cases, there is a required co-pay that needs to be paid. Usually, the deductible is waived for mental health therapy. Some UnitedHealthcare plans do not waive the deductible.
With a UnitedHealthcare therapist, your therapy sessions will likely cost between $0 - $70 per session after you meet your deductible. The $0 - $70 is the co-pay (the fixed amount you owe at each therapy visit).
You likely have a health plan that waives the deductible for psychotherapy. This is usually the case. If so, there is no need to worry about your deductible. You would only be responsible for your UnitedHealthcare copay.
There is no session cap for UnitedHealthcare therapy.
