Payment Options

For payment, you have two options:

1). Self Pay

Paying out of pocket for mental health services can offer several advantages:

1. Greater Flexibility: You often have more freedom to choose your therapist or provider without being limited by insurance networks.

2. Fewer Restrictions: You may face fewer restrictions on the number of sessions or types of treatment, allowing for a more personalized approach.

3. Confidentiality: Out-of-pocket payments can enhance privacy, as you and your provider will not have to share with insurance companies personal information about you and your care.

4. Greater Depth of Care: Your therapist may be able to use their clinical judgment to utilize more personalized or holistic approaches when not bound by treatment approved by insurance guidelines.

5. Direct Communication: You can communicate directly with your provider about costs and services, leading to a clearer understanding of costs associated with your treatment.

6. No Denials or Delays: You won’t have to deal with insurance claim denials or delays in authorization, allowing for more immediate access to care.

7. Specialized Services: You may have access to niche providers or alternative therapies that insurance might not cover.

8. Empowered Choice: Paying out of pocket can empower you to prioritize your mental health and choose the services that best meet your needs.

While it can be more expensive, many people find these benefits worthwhile for their mental health journey.

2). Insurance

Dr. Tracy Mallett is in network with a number of insurance companies.

To check your insurance coverage:

If you are in FL, CA, TX, AZ, or IA: Click here to input your insurance information, check your coverage, and schedule an appointment. You will then be emailed an EOB (estimate of benefits) which will detail your coverage and what your out-of-pocket costs would be. For scheduled appointments, there is free cancellation with 24 hours advance notice.

If you are in a PsyPact authorized state: Click here to check your insurance coverage. You will be asked to select your insurance plan from the dropdown menu. Once your insurance information is verified, I will coordinate with you to schedule a session time. (Self-scheduling is not available for the first appointment). If you do not see your plan listed, that means I do not accept your insurance at this time. If you do see your plan listed, click on the “schedule” tab to enter your insurance information. Once your insurance information is verified, you and I will coordinate to schedule a session. (Self-scheduling isn’t possible for the initial appointment).

If you don’t see a session slot that works in your schedule, feel free to email help@family-options.com, or text (954) 665-4115, and we can help!
