We are currently not in-network with any insurance in Oklahoma. If you choose to use Little Otter for your family’s mental health care, you can submit claims to your insurance provider to receive reimbursement. Generally plans reimburse 40-70% of the session after you have met your deductible. However, this is dependent on your personal coverage.
We will provide the proper documentation (called a superbill), which you can submit to your insurance provider. Check out our article to learn more about out-of-network services. All insurance reimbursement requires a mental health diagnosis.
If you would like to speak to a licensed provider and begin your care, please take our Family Mental Health Check-up to get started.
Little Otter’s approach to virtual whole-family mental health care looks different from your average Zoom meeting and differs depending on the unique needs of your family.
