I have a PPO plan. Could I receive a reimbursement for Avid?
Yes, if you have a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan, you could receive a reimbursement! Your plan gives you the flexibility to go out-of-network for your care and may cover a portion of those costs. So once you hit your out-of-network deductible, you may receive a reimbursement for your Avid care.
What’s a deductible?
It’s the amount you pay up front for healthcare before your insurance kicks in. Let’s say that your out-of-network deductible is $250 and you haven’t spent anything yet. Once you hit $250 on an out-of-network provider like Avid, your insurance will cover a percentage of Avid appointments going forward.
I have an HMO plan, what does that mean for me?
I have an FSA/HSA. Can I use it on my Avid visits?
Yes! You can use your FSA or HSA for your visits with us. Flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA) are programs that allow you to set aside money (before taxes) for specific health expenses. You can apply that towards your Avid appointments. If you have an FSA or HSA debit card, enter it as your payment source.
What types of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, FSA/HSA account cards, check and cash payments.
How do I submit Out of Network claims to my insurance?
