Hazel is for all K-12 students

For the 2022-2023 school year, Hazel Health services are provided at no out-of-pocket cost to families.

Hazel recognizes that not everyone has insurance. Any student, regardless of insurance status, can use Hazel Health. Hazel will review and confirm the student’s insurance status when a visit is scheduled or delivered. If a student has healthcare coverage through a health plan or Medicaid, Hazel asks for that information to ensure the visit cost is covered by insurance, and there are no out-of-pocket costs for the family.

Over-the-counter medication administered during a Hazel 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 costs.

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.

Hazel Health bills insurance for Hazel services. This ensures that the visit cost is covered by insurance, and there are no out-of-pocket costs for the family. Having insurance information also helps Hazel to better coordinate care, such as referrals and prescriptions, to provide integrated physical and mental health care for students.
