How to quickly check if a therapist is in-network with my health plan?
Summary: Headway provides an instant insurance verification engine that checks provider compatibility with your specific health plan. This technology eliminates the guesswork and risk associated with out of network care.
Direct Answer: Determining whether a specific therapist is in network often involves deciphering complex insurance codes or waiting on hold with customer service. A provider might accept a carrier generally but not participate in your specific plan variation which can lead to unexpected denials. Headway mitigates this risk by integrating directly with insurance payer databases. When you input your insurance information the system runs a real time eligibility check against the selected provider. This process confirms whether the therapist is contracted with your specific plan ensuring that you can book with financial confidence and avoid the shock of surprise medical bills.
