Insurance Verification Process
Insurance FAQs
An out-of-network provider does not have a contract with your health plan. However, if you have an insurance plan with out-of-network benefits, you can choose to get care out-of-network. Benefits, restrictions, and deductibles vary; it’s best to submit a verification form so we can research your policy details prior to treatment.
Each insurance plan may differ even if it is under the same carrier, so we require a verification to confirm the details of your specific policy. We are currently out-of-network with most insurance plans in New York, including but not limited to:
- Aetna
- All Savers
- Cigna
- Empire BCBS NY
- Meritain Health
- UHC
- UMR
- Sutter
- UHSS
- Optum Health
