Cost & Insurance
01Do you offer a free initial consultation?
Yes. Mindara offers a free initial phone consultation. This brief call helps us understand your needs and determine whether we're a good fit to work together before scheduling a full appointment.
02Does Mindara accept insurance?
Yes. Mindara accepts Aetna, Anthem, Carelon, Cigna and Evernorth, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Meritain Health, Optum, Oscar Health, Oxford, Quest Behavioral Health, UMR, and UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH. Insurance billing is managed through Headway. Out-of-network patients receive superbills for reimbursement.
03What if I don't have insurance that Mindara accepts?
Patients without accepted insurance can pay out of pocket. Mindara provides superbills, itemized receipts with diagnosis and service codes, that you can submit directly to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We've also partnered with Mentaya: use the benefits checker on our Cost & Insurance page to see in about 30 seconds whether your plan reimburses out-of-network care, and Mentaya can submit the claims for you.
04What are your private-pay rates?
The comprehensive initial assessment is 45–60 minutes and costs $375. Follow-up appointments are 20–30 minutes and cost $250. Superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement.
05Can I use my HSA or FSA for psychiatric care at Mindara?
Yes. Psychiatric care is an HSA/FSA eligible medical expense. Mindara accepts credit/debit cards at time of service, and these sessions qualify for reimbursement through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
06How do I check my out-of-network benefits for therapy?
Use the Mentaya benefits checker on our Cost & Insurance page. It takes about 30 seconds to see whether your insurance plan offers out-of-network reimbursement, often 50–80% of the session cost after your out-of-network deductible is met. If you qualify, Mentaya submits the superbills and files the claim on your behalf.
