Hazel Health is for all K-12 students.

For the current school year, Hazel Health’s services are provided at no out-of-pocket cost to families.

If an insurance card is unavailable, the parent/guardian should complete as much information as possible on the consent form. The parent/guardian can call Hazel Health anytime with additional details if available.

Over-the-counter medication administered during a Hazel Health visit at school is provided at no cost. If a Hazel provider recommends a prescription from a pharmacy or a referral to an outside provider, the family is responsible for any out-of-pocket cost. 

Hazel bills insurance to cover the cost of the visit whenever possible, so there is no out-of-pocket cost for families. Once a visit is completed, a family may receive an explanation of benefits (EOB) in the mail. If an EOB is received, this is NOT a bill. The EOB is a record indicating a visit occurred and was billed to insurance, not to the student/family. No additional action is needed.

Hazel Health has partnered with your school to cover your cost of services so that there is no cost to your family. We will bill your insurance to cover the cost of your visit, so there is no cost to you.

When families give their consent and provide insurance information, Hazel Health can bill insurance, just like any other healthcare provider. This helps us get reimbursed for the services we provide to students, making sure that some or all of the visit cost is covered by insurance whenever possible. A portion of the fee that districts pay Hazel as a platform fee is used to offset any out-of-pocket expenses not covered by insurance. 

Once care has been provided, having access to insurance information also helps to better coordinate support of families, such as by sharing referral recommendations or ordering prescriptions, to apply a more integrated approach to physical and mental health care for students. Additionally, knowing which plans our families have helps us identify the health plans that Hazel Health should contract with so that the visit cost can be covered by insurance whenever possible.

If the parent/guardian has consented to Hazel Health’s services, then the parent/guardian has consented for Hazel Health to bill insurance for services rendered.
