Understanding healthcare costs can feel overwhelming, especially when insurance, deductibles, and copays are involved. At ECS Wellness, we believe in clear, upfront communication so you know what to expect before your visit.
This page explains how pricing works, what insurance plans we accept, and why you may receive a bill, helping you make informed decisions about your care.
If you ever have questions, our team is always happy to help.
ECS Wellness is an integrative and wellness medicine practice contracted with multiple health insurance providers, including Medicare and MassHealth.
When you visit ECS Wellness, your provider treats your presenting symptoms and medical conditions. Your visit is billed to your insurance based on medical decision-making and federal billing guidelines. Your insurance company then determines what portion they cover and what, if anything, you may owe.
MassHealth/Medicaid plans do not require copays
Medicare patients are responsible for their deductible only
If you have secondary insurance, it may cover costs not paid by Medicare
We currently accept the following insurance providers:
👉 Coverage varies by individual plan. We strongly recommend confirming benefits directly with your insurance provider before your appointment.
We work hard to minimize unexpected charges, but there are situations where you may receive a bill through MGB Patient Gateway, including:
Your plan requires a PCP referral, and it was not on file at the time of your visit
If you receive a bill and have questions, please contact the MGB Billing Department at 857-282-0300 as soon as possible for clarification.
Healthcare billing terms can be confusing. Here's a simple breakdown:
A fixed amount you pay at the time of your visit, usually ranging from $20–$75 for a specialist, depending on your insurance plan.
A percentage of the visit cost (for example, 20%) that you pay after meeting your deductible. Your insurance pays the remaining amount.
The amount you must pay out of pocket before your insurance begins covering services. Deductibles are often higher for plans with lower monthly premiums.
Some plans (especially HMOs) require a referral from your Primary Care Provider (PCP) before seeing a specialist. If a referral is required and not received, you may be responsible for the full cost of the visit.
HMO vs PPO: Two different types of insurance plans with the main differences being cost and flexibility.
