How much does a psychiatry session cost in Somerset, NJ?

Your cost depends on your insurance plan, provider, and the type of session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details and see an estimated session cost before you book.

Headway is free to use — you are only charged after a session takes place.

Do psychiatrists in Somerset, NJ accept insurance?

On Headway, you can enter your insurance plan details to check coverage and see which providers are in-network. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans.

Do psychiatrists offer virtual visits in Somerset, NJ?

When you enter your insurance details on Headway, you can confirm whether virtual sessions are covered under your specific plan.

What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. A therapist provides talk therapy for mental health concerns but cannot prescribe medication. Therapist titles vary based on training and may include licensed counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists. Some people see both a psychiatrist for medication management and a therapist for ongoing talk therapy. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another option — they can also prescribe and manage medication. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists.

Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist in Somerset, NJ?

Many insurance plans allow you to see a psychiatrist directly, but some plans — particularly HMOs — may require a referral from your primary care provider. Check with your insurance company to confirm whether your plan requires a referral before booking. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information and browse available psychiatrists in your area right away.
