Our Physician Finder includes only U.S. physicians who have been trained on, and actively use, Acessa products and perform the Acessa procedure. This database may not include all providers familiar with the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids with the Acessa procedure and not all information listed may be complete. Physicians are listed based on their proximity to your location. Physicians neither pay nor receive any fees in connection with their listing on this site. Listed physicians are those who have requested to be added, participated in clinical trial, submitted a survey, etc. Any list generated is not a recommendation or endorsement of, or referral to, any of the listed physicians by Acessa Health. Acessa Health does not verify or monitor the qualifications of any physician listed in this database. When choosing a physician, we encourage you to complete your own research.
Insurance Support
WILL YOUR INSURANCE COVER ACESSA?
Many insurance companies cover the procedure.
Prior Authorization
Most insurance companies require that you or your doctor requests “prior authorization” before they cover Acessa.
In the request, the doctor describes the nature of the patient’s condition and why it is necessary to perform the Acessa procedure. The insurance company reviews the request and makes a determination regarding insurance coverage under the patient’s insurance plan. This determination is either an “approval” of the prior authorization or a “denial,” which means the insurance company explicitly is not committing to paying for the procedure being requested.
Good news: if you get a denial, there is typically an option to appeal it. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Insurance Appeals
If you are facing an appeal with your insurance denials while struggling with fibroid symptoms, the experience can be overwhelming. Acessa has a team of insurance specialists who are here to help. The physician offices have successfully helped dozens of patients overturn denials. Although we cannot guarantee approvals or coverage, physician offices are here to support you in the process.
If you are a patient who is concerned about your insurance covering Acessa, have experienced an insurance denial or have been denied access to the Acessa procedure through your commercial or Medicaid plan.
WANT MORE INSURANCE INFORMATION?
Acessa trained physicians can help you determine whether the Acessa procedure is covered by your insurance and provide guidance on your next steps.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor about Fibroids
It is important you feel very comfortable with not only the treatment option you decide on, but also the physician who will be performing it. Your physician should make you feel heard, understood, and supported. If you don’t feel 100% confident after a consultation with a physician, it's okay to seek a second opinion. This is your body, your choice.
We get it. Your heavy periods and pain aren’t letting up during COVID, but you don’t love the idea of going to a doctor’s office during a pandemic.
Good news: Many Acessa physicians offer telehealth consults, and have safety measures in place for in-person visits. These physicians are doing everything they can to offer safe, quick and easy consults. Waiting and watching means fibroids are growing, so make that phone call!
