I mean, it's just the 'cost.' Not necessarily the 'cost to the patient.'

I understand that it's helpful to see for people who are under/uninsured, but for most of the people it'll just max out at out of pocket/annual deductible max (which for example is like $250 per annum for me).

Further, what hospitals charge to insurance is not necessarily the rate insurance pays either. My counselor charges my insurance $400 an hour, but insurance negotiates it to like $80, of which I pay $0.

The counseling office charges people who do not have insurance like $96 per session.

What hospitals charge is not necessarily cost to patient is all I'm saying.
