If you would like to use your insurance, please confirm the following information before you call Cord of Three:
- Decide if you plan on using your insurance. Cord of Three is required to submit a mental health diagnosis on all clients receiving behavioral health services to the insurance company. Many clients do not want their records to include a behavioral health diagnosis. The only insurance companies we will bill are: Blue Cross/Blue Shield, United Healthcare, EAP, Wellcare, Amerigroup, Cenpatico, and Caresource. If you do not have one of these insurance providers, we will work with you to make sure the cost is not a barrier to counseling.
- Verify that your plan covers behavioral health services, what the co-pay amount is and what your deductible is. Many insurance plans have a separate deductible for behavioral health services than for medical services.
- Does your plan cover individual, family, couples or group therapy?
- Are our therapists covered as in-network for your insurance plan?
- Do you need prior authorization for services to be covered? If so, you will need to call your plan for prior authorization, our administrative assistant will be glad to assist you in this matter.
