Factors Affecting Telepsychiatry Costs

1. Provider Qualifications

Board-certified psychiatrists with specialized training (like Harvard Medical School) may charge higher rates but offer superior expertise.

2. Session Length

Initial evaluations (60-90 minutes) cost more than follow-ups (20-30 minutes).

3. Complexity of Treatment

Complex cases requiring multiple medications or specialized approaches may require longer sessions.

4. Insurance vs. Self-Pay

Insurance typically covers 50-80% of costs after deductible. Self-pay patients often receive discounted rates.

  1. Verify Insurance Benefits: Call your insurance to confirm telepsychiatry coverage
  2. Use FSA/HSA Funds: Telepsychiatry is eligible for tax-free healthcare spending accounts
