What psychiatric care costs in Florida without insurance.

The initial psychiatric evaluation runs 60 minutes and costs $300. A follow-up visit is typically 30 minutes and costs $150. A missed appointment is $75, and cancellations made in advance are not charged.

Rates as of August 2, 2026. Confirm the current figure on Headway before you book. That is the live source.

The full rate sheet sits next to the plans New Leaf takes, on the insurance page.

The initial evaluation is the longest visit you will have. It covers your history, what is going on now, what you have tried, and what you want to change. Everything after it builds on that hour.

Follow-up visits are shorter. They do a different job. They check how the plan is working and adjust it.

That is why most practices price the two apart. It is also why comparing only the follow-up rate will mislead you.

Three things, mostly:

• How long the visit is. The clearest driver, and the easiest to compare.
• Who you see. Training and credentials differ. So do rates.
• What the visit covers. Some practices bill therapy and medication management as two visits. New Leaf treats them as one plan of care, so one visit can cover both.

Ask about that last one directly. Two practices can quote the same rate and not be selling the same visit.

• What does the initial evaluation cost, and how long is it?
• What does a follow-up visit cost, and how often will I need one?
• Is therapy billed apart from medication management?
• Is there a charge for messages, refills, or forms between visits?
• What is the cancellation policy?

The fourth question catches more surprise costs than the rest put together.

Say you have a plan, but the provider is out of network. Ask if you can file for out-of-network reimbursement yourself. Some plans pay part of it back.

You do not need the provider to be in network to file. Whether it is worth the effort comes down to your out-of-network deductible.
