Private Pay
Sessions at Discovery Counseling Austin with our senior providers and specialists range from $140-$175.

Some providers offer some discounted slots ($40-$130) based on client need.
Out of network benefits
For any insurance that is out-of-network for us, we can provide you with a “superbill” which is a form that allows you to get reimbursement from your insurance (if they cover out-of-network services). You can always call your insurance and ask what out-of-network services would be covered.

*Provisionally licensed providers are typically not covered by insurance plans but every insurance is different.
Whole Foods EHN:
All of our providers are in-network with Whole Foods EHN, but you may want to contact them to confirm your benefits or have us do an electronic benefits check for you, see below.

All plans with EHN have a deductible that resets at the beginning of the year.

While your deductible is being met, you are responsible for the cost of services out of pocket. Once your deductible is met, your responsibility is 30% of the fees.

We do accept the Health Savings Account card from Whole Foods, which you can use to pay for your portion of the services.
Once you submit the form, we will get in touch with you to discuss payment options and see how we can help you get started with counseling.
BCBS, Aetna & United Plans

We are only In-Network for the specific insurance plans within each carrier. Every plan is different and some BCBS, Aetna & United plans may be "out-of-network" for us.

We offer an electronic benefits check as a courtesy to you but the information we get from the insurance company does not guarantee coverage. Any fees not covered by the insurance will be your responsibility.

Please be aware that if BCBS, Aetna or United is NOT your primary insurance (you have a different primary plan), we cannot bill for you.
BCBS UT Select and Student UT Plan

We are in-network with the UT plans and because we work closely with this plan, we already know your benefits. We do encourage you to contact the insurance and make sure your plan is active and current.

Keep in mind, if your plan goes inactive or your status changes at UT, your insurance will surely change so you MUST inform us. Any fees not covered by the insurance will be your responsibility.
Would you like us to complete an electronic benefits check for your BCBS, Aetna or United plan with us?

Yes, please check for me.No, I already know my coverage

Insurance Coverage:

We're glad you are familiar with your insurance benefits. If you haven't called yet, you may want to use our guide to make sure we are in-network and your services will be covered with us. Keep in mind, that we may have a waiting list for BCBS services in our practice because not all of our providers are in-network.
Please affirm that you understand that you are responsible for any fees that are not covered by your insurance plan.

I understand.
