Why doesn’t BrightPath take insurance? 🧠
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that if a hospital or large medical system “takes your insurance,” your evaluation will automatically be inexpensive or fully covered.
Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case.
Depending on your plan, you may still have a costly deductible, copay, coinsurance, or portions of the evaluation that aren’t covered at all. So even with an in-network provider, families can still end up with a large bill after the evaluation is complete.
BrightPath is private pay because it allows us to be upfront about cost from the beginning and build each evaluation around what the child actually needs — not just what an insurance company will reimburse.
We know private pay isn’t the right fit for every family, and that’s okay. We just want families to understand that “takes my insurance” and “won’t cost me much” are not always the same thing. 💗
