Insurance and benefit verification
Lyte Psychiatry verifies your plan and benefits before your first appointment. Coverage and costs depend on your specific plan, clinician, visit type and deductible. Confirm network status and expected costs before booking.
Most new patients are seen within 1–2 business days. Weekend appointments are limited.
Which insurance plans can I use at Lyte Psychiatry?
Lyte Psychiatry participates with several insurance plans, but a carrier name alone does not confirm that your plan, clinician or service is in network. Send your card through the secure intake process and ask the clinic to verify your specific benefits.
Use the insurer’s member-services number and give the exact clinician and practice details. Save the representative’s name, call reference number and date. The carrier questions below are verification prompts, not a guarantee of network participation.

How do I find out my expected cost?
Lyte Psychiatry can provide an estimate after checking your benefits. Before booking, ask these questions:
- Is my scheduled clinician in network for this service and appointment format?
- Do I owe a copay, coinsurance, or the contracted rate until a deductible is met?
- Is a referral or prior authorization needed?
- Does my plan cover therapy and medication visits separately?
- What could change the estimate, and when will I receive a bill?
Use the insurance benefits checklist to record the answers. An eligibility check is not a guarantee of insurer payment.
What does Lyte Psychiatry cost without insurance?
Lyte Psychiatry publishes the following self-pay prices. These are visit prices, not estimates of an insured patient’s responsibility.
| Service | Length | Self-pay |
|---|---|---|
| Initial psychiatric evaluationThe first appointment with a prescriber: full history, diagnostic assessment, and a treatment plan. Any prescription that is clinically appropriate can start at this visit. | 50–60 minutes | $250 |
| Psychiatric follow-upMedication management after the evaluation — response, side effects, dose adjustments, and refills. | 20–30 minutes | $150 |
| Therapy — initial sessionFirst session with a licensed therapist: what brought you in, history, goals, and the approach that fits. | 50–55 minutes | $150 |
| Therapy — follow-up sessionOngoing individual therapy with the same clinician. Weekly or every other week, depending on the plan you set together. | 45–50 minutes | $125 |
| Late cancellation or no-showCancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead and there is no charge. Inside 24 hours — or a missed appointment — is billed at $100. Insurance does not cover this fee. | $100 | |
| GeneSight pharmacogenomic testCheek-swab pharmacogenomic testing that reports how your genes may affect the way you process certain psychiatric medications. Often billed to insurance or Medicare; the self-pay rate applies when it is not covered. | Self-pay price on request — call before you order | |
| IV nutrient infusionVitamin, mineral, amino-acid and hydration infusions given at the Pantego clinic, after a consultation. A complement to psychiatric care, never a replacement for it. | Self-pay price on request — set at the consultation |
Can I use an HSA or FSA?
Lyte Psychiatry accepts HSA and FSA cards. Check your account’s eligibility and documentation requirements, and keep your receipt.
Where can I attend my appointment?
Lyte Psychiatry offers telehealth visits to patients who are physically located in Texas at the time of the visit. In-person visits are available at Lyte Psychiatry’s clinic in Pantego, in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Confirm benefits for your chosen format.
Does my plan cover the care I need?
Lyte Psychiatry can help check benefits for your proposed service. Coverage is specific to the plan and service; a diagnosis or an insurer’s name is not a guarantee that every treatment is covered. Confirm the practice’s service scope before booking.
What else should I ask about insurance?
How much will I pay with insurance at Lyte Psychiatry?
Lyte Psychiatry provides a benefit estimate before your first visit. Your share can include a copay, coinsurance or a deductible. There is no single copay range that applies to every patient; final responsibility depends on the insurer’s processing.
Will I need a referral or prior authorization?
For a Lyte Psychiatry visit, ask your insurer whether your specific plan requires a referral or authorization for the intended clinician and service. If it does, ask who must request it and when it must be approved. Medication authorization is a separate question.
Will my insurance cover a telehealth appointment?
Lyte Psychiatry verifies telehealth benefits for your specific plan. Ask whether the scheduled clinician is in network for video care, what you owe, and whether any visit or location restrictions apply. Do not assume video and in-person coverage or costs are identical.
Can I use out-of-network benefits?
Ask Lyte Psychiatry about a superbill and ask your insurer whether your plan reimburses out-of-network care. A superbill does not guarantee payment. Confirm any separate deductible, allowed amount and claim-submission deadline before booking.
What if I do not have insurance?
Lyte Psychiatry publishes self-pay rates for psychiatry and therapy. Confirm the appointment type and price before booking. Ask the front desk about available reduced-rate appointments if cost is a barrier; availability is limited.
Where can I check coverage terms or a denial?
Lyte Psychiatry can help you identify which question to take to the insurer. Read the insurer’s notice and the rules for your plan.
- HealthCare.gov: copayment definition
- HealthCare.gov: appealing a health plan decision — procedures vary by plan.
