Out-of-Network Insurance Guide
Most health insurance companies provide both IN and OUT of network benefits. In network providers are those doctors, psychologists, and therapists who have an agreed upon contract with the insurance company. Out of network providers do not have a partnership with the insurance company. Depending on your policy, you may have out-of-network coverage. If you do, out-of-network services may be partially or totally covered after deductible. It is best for you to call your insurance company before you schedule an appointment with The Oak Inside.
This guide is provided to assist you with calling your insurance company to check on your out-of-network benefits. The Oak Inside is not responsible for the information obtained using this guide.
