Do you take my insurance?
Currently, BHConsultation is “In Network” for the following insurances:
- Aetna
- Cigna
- Devoted Health
- HealthSmart
- Humana
- Medical Mutual of Ohio
- Medicare
- Molina (Not Medicaid or “Community Plan”)
- OhioHealthy
- Ohio Health Choice/Ohio PPO Connect/Preferred Health Choice/Preferred Health Choice Plus
- United Healthcare/UMR
We do not accept Medicaid or any “Community” plans that may be part of a particular payer’s offering (for example UHC group OHDSNP5). We are not currently accepting any new clients under Anthem.
Currently, BHConsultation is not “in network” with any other insurance carriers. We do see clients with insurance coverage not listed above as an “out of network” provider and will provide you a superbill that you can submit to your carrier.
In virtually all cases your health savings account can be used to pay for services. If you are concerned about coverage, you are encouraged to contact your insurance carrier to learn about what benefits you might have.
Are you taking new clients?
Yes. We generally have intake appointments available within 3 days. To begin accessing services, simply call our offices and follow the phone prompts or create an account on our client portal. You will be asked to provide your full name, brief description of why you are seeking services and a method for reaching you (e-mail and phone number). Someone from our office will get back with you within 24 hours to further discuss arranging an intake appointment.
What are your hours?
We make every effort to accommodate your schedule. All services are by appointment only. Once you are established as a client, you will be allowed to schedule your own appointments at times that are convenient to you. If you desired appointment slots are not available, please speak with your therapist about your concerns.
What are your rates?
In most cases your services will be covered by your health insurance and your “out of pocket” expense is the same regardless of what provider you receive services from. If you have insurance, you will still be responsible for any deductables/copays relating to your coverage. The following rates are our “cash” rates.
Service Rate
- Intake Appointment $250
- 45 Minutes Therapy $200
- 60 Minutes Therapy $220
- Completing Requested Document/Hour $150
- No Show With Less Than 24 hours Notice $110
Do you do telehealth?
In most cases, we will meet with you in person for your first appointment. If you and your therapist determine that telehealth is appropriate for you then we are happy to see you through telehealth. Generally, we prefer to see clients in person.
Do you do marriage/couples counseling?
Most insurance will not pay for marriage counseling as it is not viewed by them as “medically necessary.” In most cases, we can see one partner in the relationship as the “identified patient” and can have the other partner participate in the treatment to address the distress from the relationship. If you choose to approach care in this fashion, then the “identified patient” must set up the portal account. If you choose to not go this route, and want true marriage counseling then you will be responsible for the full session rate of $250 for the first appointment and $220 for each subsequent session to be paid at the time of service.
Do you do pre-surgical bariatric evaluations?
Yes, we charge $800 per evaluation and can generally see you within 2 weeks and provide your treatment team an evaluation within 30 days. We will bill you directly for the evaluation and can provide you a “superbill” to submit to your insurance. To set up an evaluation, simply create a portal account and one of our staff will contact you to set up the appointment.
Do you do other types of evaluations?
We do not do other types of evaluations. However, Dr. Hedges does a wide range of evaluations with our partner agency, EB Evaluations.
