Questions for your insurance company

 

You may want to ask your insurance company the following questions regarding out of network reimbursement: 

  • Do I have mental health benefits?

  • Does my plan offer out-of-network benefits that will reimburse me if I am treated by an out-of-network provider? If so, what percentage of the cost will I be reimbursed? Is my reimbursement based on a maximum allowable charge determined by the insurance company?

  • How long will it take for me to receive reimbursement?

  • Is my benefit limited to “parity” diagnoses (certain psychiatric conditions which are covered the same as medical diagnoses)?

  • What is my deductible and has it been met?
