Talking About the Cost of Care

Understand the recommended care

Ask what the evaluation includes, which next steps are recommended and how the plan will be reviewed. Understand any expected costs before starting treatment.

If you use insurance

• Confirm participation with your specific plan
• Ask about authorization and referral requirements
• Review deductible, copay or coinsurance information
• Ask about visit limits

If you prefer self-pay

Ask about the fee for each recommended service and what is included. A clear cost discussion helps you decide how to begin.
