Health Insurance Information

In most instances, your health insurance will cover the cost of your appointments with Dr. Pucci.  In the event that your health insurance will not cover your appointments, the Wentworth Counseling Center may pay for two appointments with Dr. Claudia Pucci per academic year.  You are responsible for the cost of any further sessions with Dr. Pucci, so it is important that you understand your health insurance coverage.  You are also responsible for your co-pay for every session with Dr. Pucci.

**Please note that you must give the Counseling Center 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment with Dr. Pucci.  If you do not give 24 hours notice, you will be billed the full cost of the session.**

If you have Consolidated Health Plans, the Wentworth student health insurance, please fill out the Student Insurance Claim Form, available from the Counseling Center.  It is important that you fill out the form completely; otherwise Consolidated may not cover the cost of your visits.

If you have health insurance other than Consolidated, you must contact your health insurance company to find out about your mental health benefit.  Insurance companies have different policies with regard to numbers of appointments and amount covered.

On the back of your health insurance card, there should be a phone number for customer service or mental health benefits.  Call this number and ask the following questions:

• Do I need a referral or authorization for my outpatient mental health treatment?

• How many sessions am I allowed?

• Is there a difference in the coverage for in-network and out-of-network providers?  (Dr. Pucci will be able to tell you if she is in-network for your insurance plan.)

• If Dr. Pucci is out-of-network, how do I find an in-network doctor?

• Is there a co-pay?  (If so, you are responsible for paying the co-pay to Dr. Pucci each week.)

• Is there a deductible?  If so, how much?  (A deductible is the amount of money you must pay before your insurance will start paying.)

• To what address should the claims be sent?

If you have any more questions about your health insurance, please be sure to ask Dr. Pucci.  If you have concerns about your financial situation, discuss them with your counselor or Dr. Pucci.
