How to Inquire About Your Mental Health Insurance Benefits

Understanding and obtaining information about Insurance coverage for mental health can be a little tricky, but with these questions you will be better able to navigate the systems.

To use Behavioral Health Benefits, your provider must furnish a mental health diagnosis.
(If you already take medication for depression or anxiety, your physician will have already submitted this as a diagnosis.)

You are responsible for understanding your own insurance benefits, and financially responsible for the full amount of service that insurance doesn’t cover.

Inquiry Process

1. Call the customer service number on your insurance card. If there is one for Behavioral Health, try that first.

2. You can use an online directory search, to see if your therapist’s name is listed, but it is better to call to get complete information.

3. Determine what company actually provides your mental health benefits.

For example, you might have Blue Cross for medical, but another company for mental health

4. Record the name of the customer service advocate you speak with, the date & time of your call & a reference number if they provide one.

5. Initially, a customer service advocate will tell you your overall benefits including individual and family deductible, maximum out of pocket, etc.

6. Request benefits for Behavioral Health – Outpatient visits with a therapist.

7. If you know the name of the provider you wish to see, ask if the provider is in-network.If so, ask the following questions:

Does the deductible have to be met prior to receiving benefits?*

 

Ask for the in-network benefits

Copay – a fixed amount each visit, such as $20, $30

 

Coinsurance – a percentage of the contract rate such as 20%

Your provider will tell you their contract rate and calculate the percentage you will owe accordingly.

 

Understand that even with verifying benefits, the amount owed isn’t finalized until the claim is submitted and paid by the insurance.

If the provider you wish to see is not shown in-network, ask for the out of network benefits and if a deductible applies.*

*Sometimes the medical deductible is the same as the behavioral health deductible, but sometimes it is not.
