FAQs

These insurance plans typically cover all services (if authorization is obtained) that Horizon offers, but there are occasionally carve-outs and limitations based on the specifics of every unique plan.

Yes, prior or pre-authorization is required for all services.  Some plans may not authorize services for Horizon due to network contract services HMO vs PPO plans, and other limitations payers can place on individual policies.

Yes. We access OON (out-of-network) plans if we can get prior authorization.  

This is handled on a case-by-case basis. Most often Horizon is willing to accept what the plan pays as reimbursement. Each case is unique and every potential client is evaluated and the maximum financial liability the client may face is outlined and written down in a good faith estimate prior to admission.

The moral of the story, we accept nearly all Cigna policies, unless the specific plan has limitations. We will not know the specifics or what those limitations may be without running a verification of benefits and seeking prior authorization. We encourage every client to contact us to allow us to pull the specifics of the plan so we can discuss what that client’s specific scenario is.
