What the price includes
A session fee usually covers time with the hypnotherapist. Modern Day Hypnosis lists sessions of 60 to 90 minutes. Recordings, follow up visits, and maintenance sessions may cost extra. Ask if your first visit includes a talk about your goals, and if packages cost less than single visits. It does not include tax or extras the provider adds on the day.
Does insurance cover it
Coverage for hypnotherapy varies by plan. Many plans treat it as a service you pay for yourself. Some plans cover it only when a licensed health care provider gives it as part of treatment. Call your plan and ask if the visit is covered, what code is used, and if you need a referral. Ask your hypnotherapist for a receipt with the date and fee. A health savings account or flexible spending account may also help, so ask your plan administrator.
When a doctor orders it
Most people book hypnotherapy on their own to work on a goal such as stress, sleep, smoking, or weight. A doctor or therapist may also suggest it as part of a care plan. Talk with your doctor first if you have a health condition. Look for a trained and licensed provider, and ask what results to expect.
