Insurance & Fees

One of the values of Midwest DBT is making high quality DBT as accessible as possible. This means accepting insurance for all possible services, being fully transparent with regards to our out of pocket pricing, walking clients through the process of out-of-network reimbursement, and considering sliding scale need whenever possible.

We are in network with the following insurance carriers for Illinois residents:

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO

  • Blue Choice

  • United HealthCare Services

  • Aetna

    *If using insurance, we strongly recommend calling your carrier before starting treatment to confirm we are in-network. If you are in need of a list of the CPT Codes we would use for billing, please ask and this can be provided to you.

If we are not in network with your insurance, we recommend asking your carrier about your out of network benefits. We can provide you with a monthly “Superbill” reflecting what you have paid each month, which you can submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.

For out of pocket rates, please see the drop-down menu of services.

If you are unable to use insurance and cannot afford our out of pocket rates, please inquire about our process for applying for sliding scale services.

  • Comprehensive, 50-55 minute intake assessment. This is the session each client presenting to treatment starts with. This session is a chance for us to get to know each other, me to learn about what you are looking for in therapy, and to share with you about our different treatment options. There is no expectation that you proceed with treatment following this, it is simply a chance to learn about what we offer and, if relevant, to find out how long our waitlist is/when you can expect to start.
