Therapy services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please contact your insurance provider directly to determine your therapy services carefully by asking the following questions:
- Do I have OUTPATIENT mental health insurance benefits?
- What is my deductible and has it been met?
- How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
It is your responsibility to contact your insurance provider before booking your appointment by calling the customer service number on the back of the insurance card (5 in the photo below) and asking about your mental health benefits.
In some cases, paying out-of-pocket or “private pay” may be less expensive than your insurance rates.
How to Read Your Insurance Card
1. Your Member ID Number
You’ll need this information when receiving medical services at the doctor or pharmacy, or when calling customer service for assistance.
2. Your Plan Type
If you aren’t sure what type of health insurance plan you have, you can find out on the upper right corner of your ID card. The type of plan you have can affect what providers are in-network.
3. Your Costs
Your co-pays are printed on the front right side of your card so that you know what to expect upon your next visit. Your ID card may also include your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
- A co-pay is a fixed amount you pay for a covered health care service
- A deductible is the amount you pay for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay
- Coinsurance is the percentage of costs you pay after you’ve paid your deductible
- The out-of-pocket maximum is the upper limit on the amount of money you will pay for healthcare services in a plan year
4. Pharmacy Coverage
If you have pharmacy benefits through your insurance, the back of your ID card will have Rx printed on the bottom.
- Your RX Group is used by your pharmacy to process your prescription benefit
- Your BIN or bank identification number tells your pharmacy what insurance you are covered by
5. Contact Information
The back of your ID card provides important contact information for customer and provider service.
Note: This is a sample ID card. Cards may vary from insurance to insurance.
