COMMON QUESTIONS AROUND PAYMENT + INSURANCE

Whole Circle Pediatric Therapy is passionate about making sure that finances are not a barrier for your child to receive the services that they need and deserve. Below are some Frequently Asked Questions that may help:

What does Whole Circle do to make understanding insurance benefits easy?

A Whole Circle staff member will call your insurance company to determine your benefits. We ask that you also call your insurance company to hear your benefits as well. We will share with you what we learn about your benefits. Helping you understand your financial responsibility is important to us.

What is a deductible, co-insurance and co-pay?

Deductible:

The amount of money that a family must pay before they will receive benefits from their insurance.

 

​

Co-insurance:

A percentage that must be paid by the family after the deductible has been met. This can be a different amount each week, depending on the services to be rendered.

 

​

Co-Pay:

A set amount to be paid by the family for each visit. Sometimes families will need to pay a co-pay for each therapy they are seen for on the same day. Sometimes a family only needs to pay one co-pay to cover all services in one day.

What insurance companies is Whole Circle in-network with?

Whole Circle is an in-network provider for Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, MODA Health Plan, Cigna, Pacific Source, Kaiser Permanente, and First Choice. We are also able to bill as an out-of-network provider if your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits. We have successfully worked with Providence, Aetna, and others to date.

What if I run out of visits?

If your policy allows more visits to be authorized, Whole Circle will handle requesting additional visits for your child or give you the information that is needed to request additional visits if that is what is required by your insurance company. We also offer a private pay discount to ensure you can continue to watch your child be the best them they can be. At Whole Circle, we help to make understanding and maneuvering through the insurance process as easy as possible.
