Self-pay for out-of-network sessions

Opt to self-pay if your preferred provider doesn't accept your insurance.

If your preferred provider doesn't accept your insurance, you may be able to pay out of pocket for sessions. If your insurance is accepted by your provider, however, the platform won't allow you to remove it. Clients with active, in-network coverage are required to use their benefits for eligible services.

Key Points


  • Clients with active, accepted insurance coverage are required to use their benefits for eligible services.

  • If you see the message "Your insurance plan can't be removed right now," your current insurance is active and in-network with your provider. You can add a new plan in the My Coverage tab, but active insurance cannot be removed.

  • If your provider doesn't accept your insurance, you can self-pay and request a superbill for possible reimbursement from your insurer.

  • To self-pay, remove your insurance information under Account → My Coverage in your client portal.

  • Switching to self-pay won't affect appointments already scheduled. Future sessions will be billed at your provider's self-pay rate.

  • If you'd like to find an in-network provider, use the insurance filter in the provider marketplace or request a rematch.


Using self-pay for out-of-network providers


Clients with active, accepted insurance coverage are required to use their benefits for eligible services. If you choose to see a provider who is out of network or does not accept your insurance, you may opt to self-pay for sessions, meaning you'll be responsible for covering the cost privately.

Grow Therapy will not bill your insurance for these visits; however, you may request a superbill to potentially seek reimbursement from your insurer directly. For answers to common questions about superbills, refer to this guide.

🌟 Note: To confirm whether your provider is in-network or update your insurance information, visit Update your insurance information. If your provider is out of network and you'd like to explore in-network options, apply the appropriate insurance filter in the provider marketplace or request a rematch from our team.
