Insurance Coverage
& Co-Pays
Clients are responsible for knowing if their Cornerstone Counselor is covered by their insurance network. You can check by Calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card. Select the benefits option. When you get a representative on the phone, ask them for: Outpatient Mental Health Professional benefits. Then say,…I have a tax id = 391746222. This should inform them of their deductible, coinsurance, copays. You can also go to https://www.cornerstonecounseling.com/directory for more information. It is the client’s responsibility to bring their insurance card during the first appointment If you do not bring your insurance card you will be billed as self-pay. If you forgot to bring your insurance card during the first appointment, you will have 24 hours to email a picture of your insurance card to ccshelp@ccs2.com. The Client is responsible for all charges regardless of insurance coverage. It is the clinic’s policy that the portion of the fee not covered by insurance be paid at the time of services are rendered.
