INSURANCE COVERAGE INFORMATION
If your insurance carrier is not listed, please feel free to call your insurance company, or our office, to see if Baby Bear Cranial Clinic is listed as an In-Network provider.
If we are not In-Network, there are alternative options, listed below, to ensure you get the care needed:
1.) You can submit your claim as an out-of-network claim. We will give you all of the documentation necessary to submit the claim and any information that would be needed to submit for prior authorization. You pay for the helmet as Patient-Pay and then it is your responsibility to submit the claim to your insurance. Contacting your HR representative can be very helpful to walk you through this process.
2.) You can Patient-Pay at a discounted rate. We offer an additional one-time payment discount or 90-day payment plans if needed.
3.) Apply for a grant or utilize a local charity to cover your medical costs. You can find out more about these options on our website: https://www.babybearcranialclinic.com/payment-options
4.) Contact your insurance carrier to find alternative in-network providers. While we would love to serve your family we also do not want your family to be under undue hardship. Be sure to ask questions like the availability of appointment times, the expertise of the provider, cost with insurance (sometimes the Patient-Pay cost is actually less than through insurance), and the timeline of treatment.
Our consultations are free of cost, so you are welcome to utilize this service regardless of In-Nework status. If you have additional questions please feel free to call or email us at Cassie@babybearcranialclinic.com
