States with Corrective Actions
Some states have great protections in place
Some of the best are:
- Washington
- Oregon
- New York
- Colorado
Among other states, Texas and California are promising but do not have any corrective actions in place for provider discrimination.
Before purchasing our service, we recommend you take a look at the Medicaid Reimbursement Policy for your state. If Medicaid doesn't cover midwives in your state, it's not likely your insurance company will.
Navigating BCBSTX UT Select Insurance
With BCBSTX UT Select Insurance, it is possible to get a gap exception approved, and we've helped clients succeed in this process. However, it’s best to start as early as possible to allow enough time for any challenges that may come up along the way.
Key Considerations:
- No Reimbursement for CPMs: UT Select often does not reimburse Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs), even at an out-of-network rate. However, a gap exception can make this possible.
- Gap Exception Process: While UT Select can be difficult with gap exceptions, our experience has led to successful approvals with careful planning.
- Recommended Timeline: We suggest beginning this process at least 3–5 months before your due date to ensure the best chance of approval.
If you're considering a gap exception, our team is here to guide you. Starting early will give you the best chance for success, but we’re ready to support you no matter where you are in your journey.
Disclaimer: Insurance policies and procedures are subject to change, and we always hope to find improvements have been made to the process.
Initiating our Superbill Service
Please follow the steps in the checklist below to initiate our superbill service.
For ethical reasons, we can only provide superbills to clients who have already obtained a Verification of Benefits (VOB). We have found that clients who come to us without this step often do not receive reimbursement that justifies the cost of our service.
While your VOB does not need to be completed through our service, we require confirmation that your benefits have been verified. This ensures that you are fully informed and providing consent when purchasing our service.
If you have not yet run your VOB, you can use our Guided Workbook to do so before proceeding with our service.
