The cost of a psychiatry appointment in Boston depends on your insurance coverage and specific plan details. If you’re using insurance, your out-of-pocket cost may vary based on factors like your copay, deductible, and coinsurance. You can learn more about what these terms mean, or check your plan to see what’s covered.
If you don’t have insurance or prefer to pay out of pocket, Brightside Health offers affordable monthly self-pay plans that include psychiatric care, medication management, and ongoing support. We believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health care.
In many cases, insurance does cover therapy, psychiatric medication prescriptions, and other behavioral health services—but your exact coverage will depend on your plan. At Brightside Health, we work with major insurance providers to make quality online mental health care more accessible and affordable.
Insurance coverage
Not sure what’s covered? We make it easy to check your insurance before getting started, or we check it for you during sign-up. You can also check with your insurance plan directly to understand costs like copays, deductibles, and coinsurance. If you don’t have insurance, we also offer affordable self-pay options.

Therapy costs in Boston can vary depending on your insurance plan. If you’re using insurance, your cost may depend on factors like your copay, deductible, or coinsurance. Not sure what’s covered? We make it easy to check your benefits before you get started.

In most cases, you don’t need a referral to see a psychiatric provider—but it can depend on your insurance plan. Some plans, especially HMOs, may require a referral from your primary care provider.
