No insurance billing
Why Doesn't Bidwell Bill Insurance?
Bidwell Health does not bill insurance so the online visit price stays clear and predictable: $45 for the visit, medication paid separately at the pharmacy, and no required subscription.
- The standard online visit is $45.
- Bidwell Health does not submit claims to medical insurance.
- There are no co-pays, deductibles, or explanation-of-benefits surprises from Bidwell.
- Medication is a separate pharmacy transaction.
- Patients may use pharmacy insurance, GoodRx, or discount cards at the pharmacy when accepted.
Why cash-pay can be simpler
Insurance billing can create delays, denials, deductible surprises, and explanation-of-benefits notices. Bidwell Health uses a direct-pay model so patients know the visit fee before checkout and do not need to wait for insurance processing.
Medication is different
If a prescription is clinically appropriate, it is sent to the patient's chosen pharmacy. The pharmacy sets the medication price and may accept pharmacy insurance, GoodRx, or another discount card.
Privacy and records
Because Bidwell Health does not bill insurance, the visit is not submitted as a medical insurance claim by Bidwell. Patients still receive a visit receipt for their own records.
