You'll need to take a look at your Insurance booklet to find out (or ask your Human Resource dept if you feel comfortable doing that.
If you are in the U.S. you should have a "Plan Document" that tells you whether you need to be referred by your GP to have Psychiatric charges paid by insurance.
The Plan Document is the one that explains who is eligible, what is excluded, what's "in-network" and what is out, etc.
If you are from England or Canada we'll have to see if someone from there knows!

I don't know, but make sure you find a good one if you can.

Hi,
I am from Canada, and i know that here, you do need a referral from a GP to see a psychiatrist. The only other way to see one without a referral is to go to the hospital emerg. and if they deem you to be in a serious enough crisis situation, then you can see one there.
Take care,
