Is insurance verification really free?

Yes. Insurance verification at MVBH is completely free and carries no obligation to enroll in treatment. We offer this service to help you make an informed decision about your care.

How long does it take to verify my insurance?

Most verifications are completed within 24-48 hours. In some cases, if your insurer requires additional information or authorization, the process may take a bit longer. We'll keep you updated throughout.

What if my insurance doesn't cover outpatient treatment?

If your plan does not cover our services, we'll discuss alternative payment options, including self-pay rates, sliding scale fees, and payment plans. Our goal is to make treatment accessible regardless of your insurance situation.

Will verifying my insurance affect my privacy?

No. Insurance verification is HIPAA-protected and confidential. We only share information necessary to confirm your benefits. Your insurer will not receive details about your specific diagnosis or treatment plan unless you authorize us to proceed with care.

What information do I need to provide for verification?

You'll need your insurance card with your policy number, group number, and the phone number on the back of the card. If you have a referral or prior authorization, have that information available as well.

Can I verify insurance for a family member?

Yes, if you are the policyholder or have legal authority to access their benefits. In most cases, we'll need verbal or written consent from the person seeking treatment to discuss their coverage.

What if I need to start treatment right away?

We understand that timing matters. While verification typically takes 24-48 hours, we can often begin the admissions process in parallel if you're ready to start. We'll work quickly to confirm your benefits and get you the care you need.
