Billing and Insurance

Billing and Insurance

Dr. McCreery is a provider for most major insurance plans including Blue Cross and Blue Shield (including Regence, Premera), and Uniform.

 

You are responsible for verifying your individual coverage and for payment of your bill if your insurance company does not cover services.  The following are useful questions to ask when verifying your insurance benefit:

  • Do I have outpatient mental health benefits?
  • Does my policy require me to be seen by a provider who is contracted with you?  If so, is Dr. McCreery a contracted provider?
  • Does my policy require a referral from my primary care physician before my initial appointment?
  • Does my policy require preauthorization for services and if so, how do I get that?  
  • Is there a deductible?  How much?
  • Is there a co-payment or co-insurance and if so, how much?
  • What are the maximum number of sessions or maximum dollar limits of the benefit?
  • Are there any diagnoses that are excluded from my policy?
