HOW MUCH WILL MY INSURANCE COVER?
Most plans only require a modest copay. The best way to confirm copay amounts and coverage is by speaking with your insurance company representative. You can do this by calling the number on the back of your insurance card.
These are some good questions to ask your insurance representative:
Let your representative know your prospective provider is part of the Alma Community Network.
How much is my copay?
Do I have a deductible for therapy? If so, what is the amount?
Do I require a referral from a primary care doctor for therapy to be covered by insurance?
WHAT IS THE ALMA COMMUNITY NETWORK?
The Alma Community Network, also known as Hello Alma, does all of the billing and insurance for therapists in their network. Hello Alma has a large grant to help therapists accept more insurance plans.
