How Do I Know My Insurance Coverage?
Insurance can be tricky! I have included a handy guide to ask an insurance representative to clarify your benefits and coverage.
Questions you will ask to know what your plan covers:
What is the Deductible?
The amount of money that you have to pay out of pocket before your insurance company begins to pay for your appointments.
What is the co-insurance and the co-pay?
The co-insurance include the percentages of what insurance covers and what you pay. If insurance covers 80%, you pay $20%. The co-payment is rather a flat fee, not a percentage, of what you would pay at each session. It will be one or the other.
Keep in mind, just because you have a co-pay or co-insurance listed on your card, if you have not met your deductible, you will most likely pay out of pocket until you meet your deductible. Then your co-payment or co-insurance will kick in and insurance will begin to pay.

How Do I Know My Insurance Coverage?
Insurance can be tricky! I have included a handy guide to ask an insurance representative to clarify your benefits and coverage.
- Look on the back of your insurance card for a "Customer Service" number.
- Call and be directed to "benefit inquiry"
- You will be asked questions to varify your identity (such as: social security number member, ID#, date of birth, cardholder’s address)
- Make note that you are inquiring about mental health benefits
Questions you will ask to know what your plan covers:
- The doctor’s name I am seeing is Dr. Brigid Zarbock. Is she in network or out of network on my policy?
- If out of network, do I have out of network benefits?
- What is my deductible for mental health?
- Is this deductible per calendar year?
- Are there a limited number of visits per calendar year? If yes how many?
- Is there a maximum dollar amount per year? If yes, how much?
- What is my percentage of coverage?
- What is my co-pay/co-insurance?
- Do I need any pre-authorization for treatment?
- If yes, how many sessions are authorized before a treatment plan is required?
