Waterlily,
Wow! You sound like you have a great husband! I too am just starting therapy, and I also don't know what I want or what to expect. Your insurance is almost the same as mine: in-network is 20 visits with $10 copay, out-of-net is 50% for 20 visits per year. Precertification is required, so if I just go, then I get no coverage; I have to call ahead and make all arrangements with my insurance provider first. As it turns out, the therapist I chose and like is only an intern and not yet licensed, so I get *NO* coverage at all -- it's all out of pocket. Despite going rates of around $90-$130 per 50-minute session, mine only charges $80/session.
