Hooray! I’m finally catching up with the rest of the world.
Last year, Labyrinth Healing started to accept credit cards for payment, using PayPal Here.
Now you can use your HSA and FSA cards to pay for your counseling sessions as well.
No more requesting paper statements to prove to your plan that you’re seeing a counselor!
…Well, unless your plan doesn’t issue you a card to charge expenses, in which case I’m happy to keep offering those statements to you. Just let me know.
HSA plans are a nice way to budget for therapy—you pull money from your paycheck before taxes get pulled and can pay for therapy with those pre-tax funds. Some companies will even put money into your HSA plan for you to spend on whatever medical expense you choose.
Also, therapy counts as a deductible medical expense—you may also be eligible for some savings on your tax bill at year’s end, depending on the ratio of your annual income to that year’s medical bills. Ask your accountant for specifics, she’ll know what I’m talking about!
I hope to put pen to paper soon for another post—things have been especially busy in the practice and I’ve been short on time.
In the meantime, I did put together a piece about how to find affordable counseling in Austin, Texas. You can read more about it over at our sister practice, Counseling South Austin, where all of the therapists offer a friendly & affordable sliding scale.
