Sometimes insurance benefits don’t cover the full cost of a session. Every insurance plan varies, and depending on your plan, you could be responsible for certain fees like copays, coinsurance, and deductibles.
It’s important to check with your insurance provider directly to understand your plan and coverages. The best way to avoid any surprises is to call the number on your insurance card before your therapy session. Be sure to ask about mental & behavioral health benefits, as those can differ from other medical benefits.
We also need your credit card information in case you do not show up to your session. If your session is not cancelled or rescheduled at least 24 hours prior to the original session date and time, you may be charged a no-show fee. These fees can be up to the full session cost.
To avoid no-show fees, be sure to cancel or reschedule your appointments at least 24 hours in advance. You can cancel or reschedule appointments directly with your therapist.
Always. If you're responsible for any payment, we'll let you know by email three calendar days before any charges.
We keep your credit card information securely on file just in case you are responsible for any copays, coinsurance, deductibles, or no-show fees. And, if you choose to pay for sessions without using insurance.
If you’re using an EAP, you’ll normally have a certain number of free sessions. To use your free sessions, call your EAP company ahead of time and let them know you’ll be seeing a SonderMind therapist. They will give you an authorization number which you can enter when you complete your account, or tell us before your first session at 844-THERAPY or [email protected].
Once you’ve used your free sessions, you can choose to continue using your insurance, or not. We offer competitive rates for those who aren’t using insurance. You can expect to pay an average of $85 per hour to see one of our licensed therapists. The exact cost depends on the length of the session you agree on with your therapist.
A copay is a fixed out-of-pocket fee, set by your insurance plan, and applies to certain medical treatments or medications. The copy for therapy sessions typically ranges from $20-$45, but this varies depending on your plan.

A deductible is the fixed amount of money, set by your insurance plan, that you pay for covered health care services before your insurance begins to pay. For example, you could have a $1,000 deductible annually, in which case each year your insurance provider will not start to pay for covered services until you meet the $1,000 out-of-pocket deductible. If you have not met your deductible yet for the year or policy term, you would be responsible for the entire therapy session fee until the deductible is met.
Coinsurance is the amount your insurance plan requires you to pay for covered health care services once your deductible is met. It’s typically expressed as a fixed percentage. For example, you could have a 20% coinsurance, meaning if your session is $100 and you’ve met your policy deductible, you would pay $20 and your insurance would cover the remaining 80%.
After each session, your therapist will submit a bill. We review each bill as it is submitted. If you aren’t using insurance, we’ll process the bill using your credit card on file. We’ll send you an email three calendar days before the charges are made.
If you are using your insurance, we'll always submit a claim to the insurance plan on file first, before charging you. Typically, once that claim is submitted, your insurance provider determines what amount they will cover and what amount you owe. If you're responsible for any payment, we'll let you know by email three calendar days before any charges.
It’s very important to make sure you select the correct insurance provider in your portal and that we have the most up-to-date insurance card for you on file. If we have the wrong insurance information, you'll pay the full session cost—an average of $85 per hour.

If you need to reschedule or cancel a session, please contact your therapist directly at least 24 hours before the scheduled session time. Otherwise, you may be subject to a cancellation or no-show fee, which can be up to the full session cost.

We may ask you a few follow-up questions to better understand the order in which to bill your insurances. For example, which coverage is your primary insurance versus your secondary.
When using multiple insurances, you will not be charged a copay immediately. We will only charge you if there is a remaining balance after we have heard back from all of your insurances. This usually takes between 30-60 days but could fall outside of that range, depending on coordination of benefits or processing delays.
After all of your insurances have reviewed and processed the claim, we’ll bill you for any remaining balance from your session. Don’t worry, we’ll send you an email four days before we charge your card on file.
If you have any questions about your claims or bills, contact our support team by email or give us a call at 844-THERAPY.
We’ll bill your primary insurance first. Once your primary insurance has processed your claim and responded to us, we’ll then bill your secondary insurance. Any other insurances you have on file will be billed after your secondary insurance’s response.
