Out of Network Benefits and Superbills

I am considered an out of network provider for insurance.

Many insurance plans offer out of network benefits. If you choose to use these benefits:

• You pay the full session fee at the time of service
• I provide a monthly Superbill
• You submit the Superbill to your insurance company
• Your insurance company may reimburse you directly

To verify out of network benefits, contact the number on the back of your insurance card and ask:

• Do I have out of network benefits for outpatient psychotherapy?
• What is my out of network deductible?
• What is my reimbursement rate per session?

Insurance-based therapy is also available separately through River Walk Counseling and Headway.

Private pay services through Northwoods Velvære Studio and insurance-based services through partner platforms are independently managed.

Semi Bono Reduced Fee

A limited number of semi bono spots are available for clients experiencing financial hardship.

Openings are limited and may not always be available. If you would like to be considered, please reach out and we can explore current availability together.

Good Faith Estimate

If you are not using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate under the No Surprises Act.

This document outlines expected session fees and how costs may add up over the course of care.

If you have questions about your Good Faith Estimate, I am happy to review it with you.
