Commercial Insurance Plans
UCP accepts all major private insurance plans. Coverage for therapy services may vary from plan to plan. Therapy services may not be covered by a commercial insurance plan or may be limited. Often, coverage may vary slightly from the quote provided by your commercial plan. We will do our best to help, but the family must know their individual coverage. We encourage each family to check the benefits of their plan with their insurance company.
UCP will provide services to a child with the understanding that if any or all of the services are not covered by insurance, families will accept financial responsibility for the services rendered.
Arizona AHCCCS Plans
UCP accepts multiple AHCCCS plans. If your child has an AHCCCS plan, we will verify eligibility and benefits and discuss therapy services coverage with you.
