A Corphealth representative can assist you in selecting an appropriate practitioner or facility near you. You may also locate a Corphealth practitioner or facility near you through the Corphealth web site.

Do I have to call Corphealth to see a behavioral health care practitioner?

It is best if you call Corphealth to find out what your particular plan requires. Some plans require that you receive authorization prior to seeing a practitioner. In some case, you do not have to call Corphealth in order to see a behavioral health care practitioner, although, depending on your benefit plan, you may not receive the maximum amount of benefits.

Do I have to see a Corphealth network provider?

You do not have to see a Corphealth network provider, but, depending on your particular benefit plan, benefits may be paid at a reduced rate if you see a non-network provider. Some plans require that you see an in-network practitioner to receive any type of reimbursement. It is best if you call Corphealth to find out what your benefits are so that you can make an informed decision about which practitioner you would like to see.

What if my provider isn't in the Corphealth network?

You can do two things if you would like to try and get your provider into the Corphealth network:

  1. Ask your provider to call the provider relations department at Corphealth and speak with them about establishing a contractual relationship to become part of the network.
  2. Call the toll-free number on your insurance card and request your practitioner be contacted about joining the Corphealth network.
  3. Some provider and practitioner networks are contracted with your health plan. A case manager or customer service representative can tell you if you need to contact the health plan about adding a practitioner.

What do I do if I have problems with my provider?

Please call the Corphealth number on your card and give specific information to the customer service representative. They will inform the department that oversees these types of issues so an immediate investigation can begin. Meanwhile, a Corphealth representative can assist you in deciding if you need a referral to a different Corphealth practitioner in your area.

What is pre-certification (pre-cert)?

Pre-certification is when care is authorized before services are rendered. The procedure insures that there is coverage in your plan for the service and for the type of practitioner and /or facility you are accessing.

Is pre-certification required?

Some plans require pre-certification and others do not. It is best if you call Corphealth to find out if your plan requires pre-certification. If your plan does require pre-certification, our customer service representative will connect you to one of our clinical case managers who will help you with this process.

What is medical necessity?

Medical necessity is when a type or level of care is deemed necessary or appropriate to maintain or restore daily functioning. Medical necessity is related to the type of treatment and level of care determined to be appropriate by a qualified mental health professional to be appropriate.

Do pre-existing condition limits apply with my plan?

This depends on what kind of insurance you have. For example, Federally qualified HMO plans do not have pre-existing clauses. Other types of insurance such as PPO's, Indemnity, and POP plans may have pre-existing clauses. It is best to call the customer service department at your insurance company for this information.
