Frequently Asked Questions

Access to Coverage provides administrative advocacy and billing coordination services that help clients and therapists navigate insurance processes related to out-of-network therapy.

Our role is to organize documentation, coordinate communication, and assist with administrative submissions when permitted under a health plan. Insurance companies make all coverage and payment decisions.

General Questions

What is Access to Coverage?

Access to Coverage is an administrative advocacy and coordination service. We assist clients and therapists with the administrative steps involved in requesting insurance coverage consideration or submitting claims when allowed under a health plan.

We focus on reducing confusion around documentation, insurer requirements, and communication processes.

No.
Access to Coverage is not an insurance company, healthcare provider, or law firm. We do not provide medical or legal advice and do not make insurance decisions.

No.
All determinations are made solely by the insurance carrier according to plan rules and medical-necessity review. Outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Many clients and therapists find insurance processes confusing and time-consuming. Access to Coverage helps by:

  • Organizing required documentation
  • Coordinating administrative communication
  • Explaining process steps clearly
  • Tracking submissions and follow-ups
  • Providing structured administrative support

Our goal is clarity and coordination — not control over insurance outcomes.

Insurance & Plan Types

What types of insurance do you work with?

We work with many commercial insurance plans, employer-sponsored plans, Medicare Advantage plans, and certain managed care plans when permitted.

Each plan has different rules, and eligibility varies.

Managed Medicaid plans operate under strict state and federal regulations regarding member charges and administrative services.

Access to Coverage provides optional administrative advocacy and insurance coordination services. We do not charge Medicaid members for clinical care, therapy services, or insurance benefits.

When permitted under applicable plan rules, Access to Coverage may charge a fee for administrative advocacy services related to case coordination, documentation preparation, and insurance communication. If a Medicaid plan prohibits member-paid administrative assistance, services may instead be structured through provider-supported arrangements, or Access to Coverage may decline services to ensure full regulatory compliance.

Our goal is to provide ethical, transparent advocacy while fully adhering to Medicaid program requirements.

Access to Coverage is an independent administrative advocacy service and is not a healthcare provider, insurance company, or government program.

These plans have plan-specific requirements. During intake, we review the plan type and explain what administrative services may be available.

Getting Started

How do I begin?

Complete the online intake form. We review your information, confirm plan type, and explain next administrative steps.

Typically:

  • Insurance plan information
  • Therapist name and contact details
  • Authorization allowing administrative communication
  • Any prior approvals, denials, or insurance letters (if available)

When applicable:

  • NPI and license information
  • Billing codes used (CPT)
  • Session fees
  • Documentation requested by the insurer
  • Confirmation of participation if required

Process & Timing

How long does the process take?

Timelines vary widely depending on the insurance carrier and plan requirements. Some determinations occur quickly, while others require extended review periods.

If allowed under the plan, we may assist with administrative appeal coordination by helping organize and submit required documentation. Appeal decisions are made solely by the insurer.

Some plans allow submission for prior dates of service. If eligible, we can assist with administrative coordination of claim submissions. Reimbursement is not guaranteed.

Fees & Services

What are your advocacy service fees?
  • $150 Administrative Intake Fee (non-refundable)
  • $1,000 Advocacy Completion Fee charged after administrative services are completed and a written authorization or approval is issued when applicable.

Fees compensate administrative services only and are not payments to any insurance company.

If Medicaid rules prohibit member-paid administrative fees, we do not charge the member. Services may instead be therapist-paid or not offered depending on compliance requirements.

Billing Submission Service

What is the billing submission service?

Billing submission is an optional administrative service where Access to Coverage submits claims electronically as an authorized billing agent using therapist-provided billing information.

Yes. Claims are submitted under the therapist’s NPI and billing credentials with authorization. The therapist remains responsible for coding accuracy and payer compliance.

Yes. Claims are never submitted without therapist authorization and required verification steps.

No.
Access to Coverage does not receive, hold, or distribute insurance reimbursements. Payments go directly to the client or therapist according to plan rules.

$50 per claim submission.
One submission may include multiple sessions listed on a single superbill or invoice.

No. Access to Coverage does not require assignment of benefits to itself. Insurance payments are directed according to the insurance plan.

Privacy & Participation

Can I stop services at any time?

Yes. You may stop services at any time. Fees already paid may remain non-refundable as outlined in the service agreement.

We use secure systems and only use information for the administrative services you authorize. Information is shared only when necessary with your therapist, insurer, or billing platform.
