8th Street Counseling offers a free service where our billing assistant will verify your insurance coverage for services. It is strongly advised that you also contact your insurance company to determine what your policy will cover for outpatient mental health services. Insurance companies will communicate to their members that they may change the policy's copay, coinsurance, and/or deductible at any time. This is why it is important to educate yourself regarding your policy.
