Submitting Insurance for Reimbursement
As a service to our clients, Maplewood Counseling provides a detailed paid receipt (also known as a “superbill”) after tht is generated automatically by our software and emailed to you. This receipt includes all the necessary information for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. We want to support you in every way possible, ensuring that submitting your claims is straightforward and hassle-free.
Why We Choose to Be Out-of-Network
We prioritize your privacy and the quality of your care. Here’s why we’ve chosen to remain out-of-network:
- Confidentiality: Insurance companies often require access to your therapy notes, treatment plans, and diagnoses to approve in-network services. This compromises your privacy. By staying out-of-network, your treatment remains strictly between you and your therapist.
- Personalized Care: With out-of-network services, you and your therapist have full control over your treatment plan—free from the constraints and limitations imposed by insurance companies.
- Flexibility: You have the freedom to choose the therapist and treatment approach that best suits your needs, without being restricted to an in-network provider list.

If you’re unsure about your insurance benefits, we’re here to help. Upon request, we can verify your insurance coverage and provide you with a clear understanding of your out-of-network benefits before you schedule your first session.
Affordable Options and Sliding Scale Fees
We believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer more affordable and lower-fee options through a sliding scale based on financial need. Our goal is to ensure that cost is not a barrier to receiving the care and support you deserve. Please reach out to discuss these options with us.
At Maplewood Counseling, we’re committed to making therapy accessible, affordable, and stress-free. If you have any questions about insurance, rates, or scheduling, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we pay?
Options for our clients are:
Private Pay and Out of Network Insurance Coverage
We are a private pay, out of network counseling practice (explained below) so fees are paid in full on the day of service. Payment is accepted in the form of credit card (Visa, Discover, MasterCard, etc…).
As a healthcare provider, we are also able accept payments if you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA).
Is there a reduced fee option?
Yes. Each month, we offer a certain number of at a reduced fee sessions for people who do not feel comfortable paying the full fee. Please let us know if you’d like to discuss this option.
Please reach out here if you have any questions for us or would like to set something up.
Do you contract with insurance companies?
Maplewood Counseling does not accept insurance directly. You may still be eligible for reimbursement.
Why we do not accept insurance directly
We do not accept insurance directly because our therapists are specialty providers and offer care that’s based on evidence and results, not dictated by what insurance companies allow. We are not considered “in-network” providers, but rather “out-of-network” providers. Some people have “out-of-network” benefits and if they choose to submit to their insurance they might be eligible to receive up to an 80% reimbursement from their insurance company after a deductible is met.
Another reason we do not contract with insurance companies is we are committed to your privacy and want you to have complete control over your health records. That is why we do not directly bill your insurance. We let you decide if you want that information in your health records.
What if I choose to use my out-of-network benefits
With our automated billing system, you are provided with a “superbill” receipt that you can present to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. If you prefer, we can also submit your superbill electronically as a courtesy. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the details of your insurance policy. If insurance processes baffle you, feel free to reach out to us. We’re committed to simplifying this process, and we’re here to help you overcome any hurdles so you can receive the assistance you need promptly.
Questions? We’re here to help.
