Insurance:

Mindful Way Counseling works with most major insurance plans or networks, including most plans by:

Mindful Way Counseling participates in-network with most major Minnesota state-funded insurance companies, including MNsure, MinnesotaCare, and Medical Assistance (Medicaid). However, we do not participate with Hennepin Health or federal Medicare Plans at this time. We also work with a very limited number of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs). Please note that our supervised clinicians cannot accept EAP benefits, and insurance participation does not guarantee specific EAP network coverage.

Additionally, network participation can vary slightly depending on your chosen therapist. When you request an intake appointment, we make every effort to match you with providers based on your insurance company and will let you know if your preferred clinician is not available under your plan.

After you schedule, we will complete a courtesy benefits check to help look into your eligibility and will notify you of any immediate concerns we encounter. Each plan can have varying networks, so it is important to check with your insurance directly to determine if your specific plan covers Mindful Way Counseling in-network.
