MyUnityPoint Messaging Charges
Starting February 14, 2023, care delivered through MyUnityPoint messaging, where the response requires a provider's clinical time and medical expertise, may be billed to a patient's insurance. Insurance coverage for this type of care varies by insurance company and plans.
FAQs
When will UnityPoint Health begin charging for messages that require a provider's clinical time and medical expertise?
February 14, 2023.
Why is this happening?
Messaging your provider and their care team is a convenient way to receive care and get answers for non-urgent medical needs from your UnityPoint Health care team. The number of messages sent through MyUnityPoint has more than doubled since the start of the pandemic. What may feel like a simple question to a patient could require a provider to change a treatment plan, look at a patient's medical history or do an in-depth review of records to provide the best possible medical advice. This change allows UnityPoint Health to continue to provide high-quality care to patients through the messaging function of MyUnityPoint. This change better supports our providers who are spending significant amounts of time providing care through portal messages while also caring for patients in the office.
What type of messages will be billed?
The types of messages that may be billed to insurance include:
- Changes to your medications
- New prescriptions
- New symptoms not previously discussed with your provider in the past seven days
- Changes to or check-ups on a long-term condition
- Others that require extensive provider time to review patient's medical history
What type of messages are free?
Not every message will be billed. Messages about scheduling an appointment, requesting a prescription refill, asking about an issue you saw your provider for within the last seven days, or giving a quick update about your health to your provider are a few examples of messages that we will not bill to insurance.
How much should I expect to be billed for portal messages?
Coverage for care delivered through the portal varies by insurance policy. If you have a high deductible or no insurance coverage, costs could range from $36 - $70.
Where should I direct billing questions?
For billing questions, contact the UnityPoint Health billing department at (844) 849-1260.
How will patients be notified of this change?
- Prior to sending a message in the portal, a pop-up box stating this policy appears and
requires a patient's acknowledgement to proceed.
- All patients who use MyUnityPoint received a notification in the portal announcing this
change.
- Information is available on our website.
