Switch to cash-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 can switch to cash pay and cover session costs privately. Your client portal makes it easy to manage your billing preferences in one convenient place.

Key Points


  • You can manage or update your billing preferences anytime through your client portal.

  • Clients with active, accepted insurance must use their benefits for eligible services.

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

  • To switch to cash pay, remove your insurance information under Account β†’ My Coverage in your client portal.

  • Switching to cash pay doesn't affect appointments already scheduled β€” future sessions will be billed at your provider's self-pay rate.


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.
