INSURANCE
Patients are encouraged to call their insurance companies. Please know your benefits and what insurance will cover.
Dr. Markle cannot determine insurance coverage and reimbursement. Health insurance has become increasingly complex and changes often. We only have what insurance provides in the system. And, insurance companies may process claims differently than the estimate of benefits they provide our office. Patients will be responsible for services not covered, regardless of circumstances. Patients will be required to accept a financial agreement.
We must have your insurance benefits in writing, especially if we are unable to confirm your benefits in the insurance company’s system.
WHAT TO ASK YOUR INSURANCE: Your insurance company must inform you whether you have an outstanding deductible (which means you pay out of pocket at a contracted rate), or inform you if you have a copay or coinsurance that will be due at your office visit. Insurance must also inform you of any needs for pre-authorizations requirements before your office visit.
ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE CODES: Insurance uses procedure or CPT codes to price your claims. If you hope to use insurance for an assessment, be sure to know whether your policy covers neuropsychological and psychological assessment. CPT (procedure) codes that may be reported to insurance include: 90791, 96116, 96132, 96133, 96136, 96137.
PSYCHOTHERAPY PROCEDURE CODES: CPT (procedure) codes reported to insurance for psychotherapy and behavioral interventions primarily include 90791 (initial consultation), 90837 (weekly sessions).
OUT OF NETWORK: If you are out of network, we will provide you a SuperBill to submit to your insurance. SuperBills allow patients to get partial reimbursement from your insurance, and varies based on your insurance policy. Dr. Markle has no ability to determine out of network payments, and you must communicate directly with your insurance company.
SPECIAL NOTICE FOR WELLMED MEMBERS who have UnitedHealthCare insurance: We understand UnitedHealthCare is informing patients Dr. Markle is in-network. Please know: Dr. Markle is an out-of-network provider with WellMed. We do not have a contract with that third party company. WellMed contracts with UnitedHealthCare, but Dr. Markle’s UnitedHealthCare contract does not cover services for WellMed members. You are welcome to get an assessment out-of-network, and we are happy to provide an estimate and a SuperBill for you to submit for out-of-network services. However, we are unable to process in-network benefits and file claims for WellMed members.
NOTICE FOR BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD HMO MEMBERS (Magellan): Please confirm with your insurance company that your behavioral health is handled by Blue Cross Blue Shield. In the state of Texas, a majority of marketplace plans are managed by a third party company named Magellan Healthcare. Dr. Markle is out-of-network for Magellan Healthcare.
