Alas, yes. Some of them charge much more (like in the range of $300 or so) for the initial consultation, which usually takes longer than followups. How long are your followup appointments?
That really stinks that your insurance won't help at all. Do you not even have a prescription plan? My insurance covers all but a $15 copay for up to 40 psych visits a year; generic prescriptions are $10 (less if the retail price is lower), brand-name drugs that are on their formulary are $20, and non-formulary drugs are $30.
