Will my plan cover testing?
Coverage depends on your specific plan, the type of evaluation, and medical necessity. We verify your benefits before scheduling. Verification is not a guarantee of payment, so we’ll walk you through anything you may owe, like a deductible, copay, or coinsurance.
My card says a different insurance company. Could Carelon still manage my benefits?
Possibly. Some plans, such as Sutter Health Plan, have behavioral health managed by Carelon. Share your card details and we’ll check.
What evaluations can I ask about?
ADHD testing, autism evaluations, pre-surgical psychological evaluations (bariatric, spinal cord stimulator, and other procedures), and comprehensive diagnostic testing.
