Start with your exact plan.
The insurer name on your card is only the starting point. Your behavioral health network and benefits determine how a particular therapist’s services are covered. At Pathways, preferred plans include Aetna, Allied Health, Cigna, Medical Mutual, Meritain, Ohio Connect, and Ohio Healthy. Confirm your specific plan and appointment availability before scheduling.
Have these questions ready.
Call the number on your card or use your member portal. Ask about Aharon Weinstein at Pathways Counseling & Consultation, and write down the date and reference number for the conversation.
- Is this provider in network for my behavioral health plan?
- What are my benefits for the intake, CPT 90791, and ongoing psychotherapy, CPT 90837?
- Is video therapy covered while I am in Ohio?
- How much of my deductible remains? What copay or coinsurance applies?
- Is a referral or prior authorization needed? Are there session limits?
Ask for an estimate you can understand.
If the answer is “covered after your deductible,” ask what that means for your next visit. If your cost is a percentage, ask how that percentage is calculated. An estimate can help you plan, but the amount can change when the claim is processed.
Check again when things change.
Review benefits when you change plans and when a new plan year begins. If anything is unclear, bring your questions to the consultation. See Pathways’ insurance, fees, payment options, and intake steps.
