Insurance
Insurance
The Carruth Center does not guarantee coverage and/or the ability to gain coverage of services. We are a fee-for-service, out-of-network facility and families are responsible for all payments. We ask that families directly communicate with their insurance companies to determine coverage and necessary steps to file claims.
All clients will receive monthly statements for services, however if you would like to submit claims to your insurance provider, please contact us and request to receive itemized statements monthly. We will send you a separate itemized statement per service with necessary codes and other information you will need to submit your claim.
Because of the complexity involved and the time it takes to file insurance claims some families choose to outsource this to a third party. If you are interested in a third party submitting your child’s claims to your health insurance, please contact Rochelle Nwafor at Priority Medical Billing at info@prioritymdbilling. She will work with families to handle all insurance needs for a fee.
The Carruth Center cannot accept payment from insurance companies. All checks issued to The Carruth Center are returned to the insurance company with a request to issue payment to the family. We will notify the families when this occurs.
Records or documentation requested by insurance companies will be distributed to the client’s family for submission.
Medical or financial records should be requested in writing to The Carruth Center office at info@carruthcenter.org. The Carruth Center will provide records requested within 15 business days.
Below are several resources that can help you understand your insurance policy and navigate how to submit out-of-network insurance claims. We provide these as information and resources, however have not verified the accuracy of information found on these sites.
