As a mental health provider, I see Medicaid covering therapy sessions completely (provided the therapist accepts Medicaid; not all do). Waitlists are often long. I would recommend getting on a couple now. Psychiatrist waiting lists are also long; again get on the waitlist or schedule the appointment now if you can (for your future date). Others recommend getting an extra perscription from your current provider; this is a good idea. You might also want to see if your current provider will see you via telehealth as you transition your care to PA. You will need to be aware of your stop date for your current insurance, but there may be some time to help you transition. It's worth asking.

I’ll need to cancel my insurance to apply for Pennsylvania insurance. So once I cancel it then I can’t see any of my California doctors anymore. In terms of wait list, without insurance how will I know which doctors to be on a wait list for?
