HOW PATHWAY PLUS GUIDES PATIENTS THROUGH THE INSURANCE BENEFIT VERIFICATION AND CLAIM SUBMISSION PROCESS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
You or your child visits your healthcare provider. The healthcare provider examines and recommends a treatment plan. |
|
|
|
|
|
You or your healthcare provider contacts PATHWAY PLUS to help confirm your healthcare coverage for the recommended product. PATHWAY PLUS will need certain information from you and your healthcare provider in order to complete this service. (See above for the request forms you may need)
|
|
|
|
|
|
PATHWAY PLUS relays coverage results and any out-of-pockets costs you may have.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have coverage, the healthcare provider writes an order or prescription allowing you to take it to a supplier (pharmacy or DME) who submits a claim to your insurance plan on your behalf for payment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The claim is then processed by the insurance plan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You receive the product and the pharmacy or DME receives payment.
|
|
|
|
|
If your insurance plan does not cover the Abbott Nutrition product, you may want to discuss with your healthcare provider if there are other options.
