Ask a Psychiatrist
How much does a psychiatrist cost with insurance in Texas?
In-network, most insured Texans pay their specialist copay. At Lyte that's $0-$30 for most patients. High-deductible plans pay a contracted rate first (usually $100-$250 for an intake) until the deductible is met.

The bills that go viral are almost always out-of-network bills, which makes "are you in-network with my plan?" the single highest-value question in mental health care. We're in-network with BlueCross, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, Tricare, and Medicare, and we verify your exact benefit before your first visit, so the number you expect is the number you pay.
