Insurance and Fees

In-Network Insurance Provider for clients that live in Illinois

I am an in-network provider for BCBS PPO and Aetna health insurance plans for people that live in Illinois only. I am an Out-of-Network Provider for all other insurance plans and for anyone that does not live in Illinois. Prior to our appointment, you should contact your insurance company to verify that I am covered under your benefits and what your fees will be. My name is Amelia Swanson PhD, my NPI is 1528484367 and I am empaneled through Headway.

Clients outside of Illinois

At this time, I am out of network for all clients that do not live in Illinois, independent of their insurance company.

Out-of-Network Insurance Provider

If I am out-of-network with your plan or you live outside of Illinois, you may still have coverage if you have out-of-network benefits. If you would like to use out-of-network benefits, I can give you a superbill (a detailed receipt) which you can submit to your insurance company and they would reimburse you directly.

My fee is $250 for a 53 minute therapy session unless I am in-network for your insurance plan.

Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

• Do I have mental health benefits?

• Do I have a deductible and has it been met?

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

• What is my responsibility (copay or co-insurance amount) per session?

• Do I have any out-of-network benefits for mental healthcare?

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.
