Health plan participation
Boston Children’s and its affiliated providers are participating providers with the health plans listed below. Participation in these plans is not a guarantee of payment or coverage. Many health plans require a referral or prior-authorization for coverage of services and not all services are covered depending on your health plan. You should verify coverage and out of pocket expense responsibilities, by contacting the member services number on your health plan card. You may also contact Boston Children’s at 617-355-3397, if you have a question regarding Boston Children’s or its providers’ participation status with your health plan.
YOUR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: If you are enrolled in a tiered, high deductible or limited network, your coverage and/or out of pocket expenses may vary based on the provider and/or place of service. We recommend that you contact your health plan to determine your liability/out of pocket financial responsibility.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COVERAGE: Behavioral Health benefits should always be verified with your health plan.
NON-PARTICIPATION: If you do not see your health plan listed below, please contact member services at your health plan to inquire about coverage for care provided at Boston Children’s or you may contact Boston Children’s with questions at 617-355-3397
