Insurance and Financial Responsibility
Insurance
We routinely help verify insurance benefits and facilitate reimbursement from your insurance company. We work with all insurance companies, whether Menninger is in or out of the company’s network.
The Menninger Clinic encourages all patients, families and/or guarantors to directly contact their insurance company to learn about specific benefit coverage and criteria for medical necessity prior to admission. The following information may be helpful when talking with your insurance company.
The Menninger Clinic is:
- A private, not-for-profit psychiatric hospital offering specialty services.
- Accredited by The Joint Commission
- Operated without on-site surgical facilities. Menninger has transfer agreements with local medical hospitals.
Insurance companies determine eligibility for inpatient behavioral treatment based on medical necessity. It is imperative that the patient, family and/or guarantor, as well as the Menninger Admissions staff, are aware of the criteria applied by your insurance plan. Establishing medical necessity is a prerequisite for accessing your benefits and authorization of your treatment. Even under stress or time constraints, it is extremely important to make yourself aware of benefit limitations and any other requirements your insurance company may have.
We provide all necessary information to insurance companies to facilitate reimbursement to you.
Payment of services
Our Admissions representatives also will work with you before admission to develop a plan for payment of services. Our staff recognizes the importance of making arrangements for treatment. We follow the laws governing patient confidentiality and carefully guard the medical, insurance and financial information that we discuss with you.
Financial assistance
We understand you want quality care and it can be expensive depending on your benefits. One option may be financing part of the cost.
