Thyme Care Medical

How Thyme Care works with your insurance

Most of our services come at no extra cost to you.

Our Nurses and Care Partners help with symptoms, care planning, and support—all covered by your plan or provider.

If you see a Thyme Care provider (doctor or nurse practitioner) for urgent care or other needs, your insurance usually covers it like a regular doctor visit. This means:

You may need to pay your normal copays or coinsurance.
If you need prescriptions or medical equipment, those will be billed normally.
Working with Thyme Care doesn't change your insurance coverage.

How it works:

Before your visit:

We check with your insurance about any payments you might need to make and review them with you.

At your visit:

Copays can be mentioned at the time of visit by our Practice Coordinators, but copays are not collected at the time of the visit, copays are finalized and determined after the visit.

After your visit:

If your deductible or coinsurance applies, we'll send you a bill after your insurance processes the visit.
