Hmmmm,
The best treatment I have gotten in 20 years
was out of pocket & cost the most, 120/hr for the PhD and 120/hr
for the psychopharmacologist. The MD was actually
quite cheap. 1 one hr initial session, 20 min med
checks twice a year. Everything else was for free,
by phone. Meds questions, changing meds was all done by phone. Shoot, I bill out at 120/hr to fix peoples networks.I find if I am honest about my finances, docs that I have a history with are very willing to cut their fees. Just tell your doc you can't afford the new rates and see what happens.
