We provide in-network services and billing for BCBS

Out of Network

See website for script under “Getting Started”

We participate with the following insurance:

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield

Our staff understands how difficult it can be to navigate health insurance coverage, and offers courtesy verification and billing to insurance companies that are out of our network. You may have benefits for an out-of-network provider or belong to a POS/PPO plan that covers outside facilities. If your insurance company has told you that they will reimburse you for our services out of network, Star Therapy will provide you with monthly invoices that you may submit to your insurance company to seek reimbursement. If you have out-of-network benefits, you are likely to receive partial reimbursement from your insurance company. Star Therapy does not bill insurance companies for which they are not participating providers.
