Understanding How Independence Blue Cross Insurance Works
Navigating insurance can be confusing, so here’s a quick breakdown of key terms to help you understand how they may impact your care at Verse.
- In-Network vs. Out-of-Network: When a provider is in-network with Independence-blue-cross, they are under contract with Independence-blue-cross to provide discounted services to its members. If a provider is out-of-network with Independence-blue-cross, Independence-blue-cross may still cover some costs for services, but you may be responsible for more.
- Copay: This is the fixed amount you pay for each visit. If your copay for speech therapy is $30, for example, you pay that amount for each session, and Independence-blue-cross covers the rest.
- Deductible: This is the amount you must pay out of pocket before Independence-blue-cross starts covering costs. If your deductible is $500, for example, you’ll need to pay that amount for medical services (including those outside of Verse!) before your insurance starts contributing.
- Coinsurance: After meeting your deductible, you may still be responsible for a percentage of the cost. For example, if your coinsurance is 20%, Independence-blue-cross will cover 80% of the cost of therapy, and you will owe the remaining 20%.
- Out-of-Pocket Maximum: This is the most you’ll have to pay for covered medical services in a plan year. Once you reach this limit, Independence-blue-cross will cover 100% of approved services.
