Insurance and Accepted Plans (Medical Industries)

Quick Answer

If your Organization operates in a medical or healthcare industry, you can list the insurance plans you accept. This helps patients find providers who take their insurance. The Insurance section is only available for healthcare-related Organization listings.

Overview

The Insurance section allows medical practices, dental offices, therapy providers, and other healthcare organizations to display accepted insurance plans. Patients frequently search for providers who accept their specific insurance, making this information valuable for attracting the right clients.

FAQs

Why don't I see the Insurance section on my listing? This section only appears for healthcare-related industry categories. If your Organization is categorized in a non-medical industry, the section won't be available.

Should I list every plan variation or just the main company? For major insurers, listing the company name (e.g., "Blue Cross Blue Shield") is usually sufficient. Add specific plan names only if you accept some plans but not others from the same insurer.

How do I indicate I'm a cash-only practice? You can note "Self-Pay" or "Cash Only" in your Overview section, or leave the Insurance section empty and address payment in your description.

What if I'm out-of-network for some plans? You can note this in your Overview section. Something like "In-network with Aetna and Cigna. Out-of-network benefits may apply for other insurers."

How often should I update my insurance list? Review your list whenever you sign or terminate an insurance contract. At minimum, review annually to ensure accuracy.

Does listing insurance help me get more leads? While insurance isn't used in lead matching algorithms, patients searching for providers often filter by insurance acceptance. Accurate insurance information helps the right patients find you.
