We are an Out of Network provider, but don’t let that scare you away!
Read our top 10 ‘Reasons to Choose North Star Wellness’ and decide if we’re right for you.
Your mental health is worth the investment.
1
The lowest upfront cost is often not a path to the highest level of care. Remember also that most individuals are not in therapy forever. Quality, targeted care also means you achieve your goals faster. And as you’ll see below, once you meet your deductible, your insurance company may fully reimburse all of your future sessions in that calendar year.
Find the right therapist—not just an available therapist.
2
You deserve more than a name on an insurance directory attached to a copay. Looking beyond an insurance network gives you access to carefully selected professionals with balanced schedules, diverse training, experience, specialties, and differing approaches to treatment. At North Star Wellness, we have thoughtfully cultivated our team so you can find the therapist who is truly right for you.
3
Your sessions often count toward your deductible.
With many health insurance plans, eligible out-of-network mental health expenses count toward your annual out-of-network deductible. Once that deductible is met, your plan may fully reimburse future eligible sessions for the rest of your benefit year!
Out-of-network does not necessarily mean your insurance won’t contribute! Many insurance plans provide out-of-network mental health benefits, and depending on your specific plan, the entire cost of your sessions may be reimbursable after your deductible is met.
We are happy to help you check your plan’s out-of-network benefits so that you know what to expect.
Your insurance will likely still help cover the cost.

We know that dealing with insurance paperwork can feel overwhelming. North Star Wellness can submit your out-of-network claims for no additional charge. Our goal is to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible.
We make that insurance reimbursement easier.
5
Your treatment should be focused on what you want to accomplish. You and your therapist will determine together the appropriate approach and duration of care based on your individual needs, goals, and progress—not simply what an insurance network dictates your care should look like or for how long they decide to cover it.
Your care is guided by your goals—not an insurance company.
6
High-volume practices and overloaded caseloads for clinicians can make therapy feel rushed and impersonal, and often discourages people from pursuing their mental health goals. North Star Wellness is intentionally designed around a more individualized experience, allowing our therapists to focus on you—not simply the next appointment on the schedule. Their work weeks are flexible, and sessions per day are capped, so that you can be sure you’re seeing a well rested, focused and present clinician every time.
Experience more personalized attention.

Often, you need more than a generalist. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, parenting challenges, work stress, grief, or a more niche concern, finding someone with experience in your particular area of need makes all the difference. North Star Wellness brings together professionals with a broad range of specialties, including areas that can be difficult to find through traditional insurance networks.
Access to specialized expertise.

Receive care that is built around you.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health. Your experiences, circumstances, goals, and personality are uniquely yours—and your treatment should be, too. At North Star Wellness, we take the time to understand you, so your therapeutic experience can be thoughtfully matched to your needs and your goals can be realized sooner rather than later.

Finding an in-network therapist can sometimes mean waiting weeks—or even months—for an appointment. Or, alternatively, getting in immediately with someone that may not possess the knowledge or experience that you deserve. North Star Wellness offers unmatched flexibility in scheduling, helping you begin your care sooner and with appointment times that work with your life.
