Insurance Information

Some insurance policies may cover mental health services provided at Quest. It is the responsibility of each family to verify coverage, preauthorize services, and provide Quest with all necessary information to provide the family with a super bill to be submitted for reimbursement. While we will assist you in completing these forms, additional professional time may be necessary.

Consultation with utilization review or completion of clinical reports may require additional cost. Quest cannot be held responsible for insurance companies failure to reimburse. All fees must be paid prior to attendance.
