While we cannot guarantee reimbursement, we encourage you to contact your insurance company to learn about your out-of-network coverage before your appointment.

Every insurance plan is different. We recommend calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card and asking:
Do I have out-of-network benefits for speech therapy, occupational therapy, nutrition services, or physician visits?
What is my out-of-network deductible?
What percentage of services will be reimbursed after my deductible is met?
Is a referral or prior authorization required?
Are there any visit limits?
-
A superbill is a detailed receipt for the services your child receives at Belly & Mind. It includes the information your insurance company typically needs to process an out-of-network reimbursement request, such as diagnosis codes, procedure (billing) codes, provider information, and the amount you paid.
While we do not bill insurance directly, many families with PPO plans use superbills to seek reimbursement for eligible services.

Yes! Upon request, we're happy to provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. You are responsible for submitting superbills directly to your insurance company.
