The cost of group therapy depends on the specific care proposed and your insurance benefits. MVBH can begin a plan-specific benefits conversation after you call or submit a callback request. Verification is necessary because general estimates cannot establish your coverage, authorization requirements, network status or personal financial responsibility.
Benefits verification reviews available plan information for the specific program or service proposed after the initial contact and prescreen process begins.
Personal responsibility cannot be determined from a general average; it requires individual review of the proposed care and insurance benefits.
After an initial call or website callback request, the confirmed admissions sequence is insurance verification, prescreen, intake and then treatment starting on an arranged date. Coverage, authorization, eligibility, availability, personal costs and a start date require individual confirmation and are not guaranteed.
