Do Most Health Insurance Companies Cover Psychiatrist Visits?
Question by John T: Do most health insurance companies cover psychiatrist visits?
Right now I only pay $ 5-$ 15 for medication, but am not sure if a Psych appointment would be covered just like a regular doctor?

Contact your insurance provider.

Some do, and others do not.
If you flip your insurance card to the back, there will likely be a number there to call for “behavioral health and substance abuse services” (or similar wording).
Give them a call to find out about the details.
Although mental health parity laws have been passed, they were written in such a way that insurance companies can still have different co-pays and such for psych. services.
Your best bet truly is to call and find out for sure.
Best of luck,
