Using your insurance at Mindtude
We are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare and Aetna — which covers most students and young adults in Chicagoland, including both major university student plans. If your plan is not one of those, there is still a way in.

Superbills
We provide a superbill — an itemised receipt you submit to your insurer to claim against your out-of-network benefits. Many plans reimburse a share of the session fee. How much is between you and your insurer, so ask them what your out-of-network mental health benefit is before you start.
Paying without insurance
Sessions are $200–250. You are told the figure before you book, and you receive a Good Faith Estimate in writing.
