What if I don’t have insurance, or if Banyan Behavioral Health is out-of-network with my plan?


At Banyan Behavioral Health, we believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality behavioral health care, regardless of their insurance status. If you do not have insurance, or if Banyan is out-of-network with your insurance plan, there are still several ways we can work with you to make treatment possible.

• Self-Pay and Sliding Scale Options: Banyan Behavioral Health offers self-pay rates and, in some cases, sliding scale fees that are based on your financial situation. Our goal is to make our mental health and addiction treatment services as accessible as possible. We encourage you to contact our admissions or billing department directly to discuss your unique circumstances and explore the payment options that may be available to you.

• Out-of-Network Insurance Benefits: If Banyan Behavioral Health is not in-network with your insurance provider, you may still be able to receive partial reimbursement for treatment, depending on your plan’s out-of-network benefits. Typically, this process involves paying for treatment costs upfront and then submitting a claim to your insurance company for reimbursement after meeting your deductible. Our team can assist you in gathering the necessary documentation and guide you through the claims process to help you maximize your benefits.

• Additional Resources and Support: We understand that navigating the financial aspects of behavioral health care can be overwhelming. In addition to our own payment options, there may be local or national resources available to you, such as nonprofit organizations, state-funded programs, or community mental health centers that offer financial assistance or referrals.

At Banyan Behavioral Health, we are committed to working with you to find a solution that fits your needs. Please reach out to our team to discuss any concerns or questions you have about paying for care—we are here to help you every step of the way.

What mental health services offered at Banyan Behavioral Health are typically covered by insurance?


We offer a comprehensive range of mental health services designed to support adults struggling with conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and co-occurring substance use disorders. Our evidence-based treatment options include initial psychiatric evaluations, individualized therapy sessions, group therapy, medication management, and structured outpatient programs like our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). We also provide specialized services such as dual diagnosis treatment for individuals facing both mental health and addiction challenges.

Most major health insurance plans typically cover many of these services, recognizing them as medically necessary for effective mental health care. Depending on your specific insurance provider and plan, coverage may also extend to family therapy and additional supportive services offered at Banyan Behavioral Health. Our experienced admissions and insurance verification team is available to help you navigate your benefits, confirm which services are covered, and assist with any necessary pre-authorizations.

If you’re considering treatment, we encourage you to contact Banyan Behavioral Health directly or speak with your insurance company to better understand your mental health benefits and ensure a smooth admissions process.

Are there any hidden fees or costs I should be aware of at Banyan Behavioral Health?


Choosing to begin treatment at Banyan Behavioral Health is a significant step toward recovery, and it’s natural to have questions about the financial aspects of care. Banyan Behavioral Health is committed to transparency and patient support throughout the admissions process. Their team works closely with individuals and families to explain all potential costs, so you can make informed decisions about your behavioral health treatment.

• What Impacts the Cost? Treatment costs at Banyan Behavioral Health can vary based on several factors, including the level of care (such as inpatient mental health programs, outpatient treatment, or specialized therapies), the length of stay, and the specific services needed for your unique situation. Your insurance coverage and benefits will also play a major role in determining your out-of-pocket expenses.

• No Hidden Fees: Banyan Behavioral Health aims to provide clear, straightforward information about all program fees. Before starting treatment, you’ll receive a detailed breakdown of potential costs, including any co-pays, deductibles, or fees for optional services like specialized therapies or medications. The admissions team is always available to answer questions about anything in your agreement, so you know exactly what to expect.

• Insurance and Payment Support: To help you navigate your insurance benefits, Banyan’s financial specialists will work directly with your provider to maximize your coverage and minimize unexpected expenses. They can review which services are covered, clarify any exclusions, and help you understand your financial responsibilities.

For the most accurate estimate of your treatment costs and coverage, we recommend contacting a Banyan Behavioral Health admissions specialist. They will provide a personalized assessment, review your insurance, and ensure you have all the information you need, so you can focus on your recovery with confidence.

Is there a limit of therapy sessions or medication management appointments my insurance will cover at Banyan Behavioral Health?


At Banyan Behavioral Health, we understand that navigating insurance coverage for mental health services—such as therapy sessions and medication management—can be overwhelming. The number of sessions or appointments covered by your insurance plan at our facility depends on the specifics of your policy. While many insurance providers do not impose a strict limit on the number of therapy sessions or psychiatric appointments, your coverage may vary based on your diagnosis, the type of treatment you receive, and whether your care is deemed medically necessary.

Some insurance plans may require prior authorization or periodic review to determine ongoing eligibility for coverage. To make the process easier for you, our experienced admissions and billing team at Banyan Behavioral Health can help verify your benefits, explain any limitations, and work directly with your insurance company on your behalf. We are dedicated to helping you understand your coverage and ensuring you get the care you need, whether that includes individual therapy, group therapy, or medication management.
