Insurance
We accept all insurance providers as well as self-pay clients. Mala is an in-network provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield. If you use a different insurance provider, we may be able to provide you with a statement of services for reimbursement. It’s important to understand your insurance coverage before we start the intake process. Contacting your insurance provider to learn what your benefits cover is the best way to begin.
Working with a Clinician-in-Training
You have the option to work with a clinician-in-training at Mala for a lower price. This means that you will work with a clinician who is currently in school to be a therapist and completing their clinical hours.
All our clinicians-in-training are incredible people whose heart aligns with our mission at Mala and are overseen by highly trained supervisors. This is a great opportunity if you would like a more accessible therapy option while still getting quality care.
Good Faith Estimates
For self-pay clients
Under Michigan law, you have a right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” (GFE) that explains how much your care at Mala will cost if you choose to pay out-of-pocket. This is to make sure we’re all on the same page and there are no surprises down the road. Reach out for a GFE before scheduling services with us or we’ll provide one to you at least 1 day before your service is scheduled.
