What Copywriter 1 said is 100% accurate, I live in NYC and I had BCBS. You will need to pay in full directly and then file a claim with the insurance. I’ve been doing it for years and (most) therapists will help you on how to file a claim and provide all the details you need to get it completed. Usually get the money back ~1month

Also correct about the medication, adhd meds are considered a controlled substance in NY and you need your psychiatrist to write you a new prescription every month after your monthly session.

I highly recommend my psychiatrist, I’ve been seeing him for almost 10 years and he is in midtown:
Dr. Carlos Ortiz - (212) 689-7232

Good Luck!!!!!

Just a note here it's often quite hard to find in-network psychiatrists pretty much regardless of your plan. You might be able to get out-of-network reimbursement for it, but most (and the best) ones don't accept insurance. Check your BCBS provider list on the site though, maybe some will pop up.

Also with ADHD medication I believe you have to see your psychiatrist every month due to the strict regulations around most ADHD meds - just another cost to consider if you pay for visits out of pocket!

Check with your primary care doctor. Legally they are able to prescribe these. I did the therapist + psychiatrist run for a year paying the psychiatrist $400 out of pocket each month for a 15 minute chat.

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

I’ve doing this for a good number of years. I think I depleted almost completely my interest in this business.
