# Can I go to a mental health provider without clarifying with my insurance company that they will cover the cost?

Not all health insurance companies require pre-certification or a referral before seeing a mental health provider. However, there are many plans that do require you to have precertification or a referral from your PCP. Thus, it is important to check what benefits your insurance covers beforehand.
