How Medicare pays for a Welmivia Access visit
- Welmivia bills Original Medicare directly for the visit codes and accepts Medicare's approved amount as payment in full. There are no excess charges.
- Medicare pays 80% of the approved amount once your Part B deductible is met for the year ($283 in 2026).
- You owe the deductible portion, if any, plus 20% coinsurance. A Medigap plan usually covers the 20%; Plans C and F also cover the deductible, Plan N can charge up to $20 per office visit, and Plans K and L cover part of the 20%.
- Welmivia bills your Medigap plan before billing you, and never waives or discounts coinsurance.
Amounts: 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, Virginia, participating physician, video visit from home. Initial evaluation (99205, G2211, 96127 x3) $263.01; medication follow-up (99214, G2211, 96127 x2) $159.84; follow-up with psychotherapy (99214, 90833, 96127 x2) $223.20; extended follow-up with psychotherapy (99214, 90836, 96127 x2) $244.71. Welmivia bills every visit, for patients in Virginia and Florida, through Palmetto GBA at the Virginia rate, because Medicare pays video visits at the physician's location. Codes billed depend on the care provided at the visit.
For patients paying privately. You pay Welmivia's fee at the visit and get a superbill to send to your plan. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, it may reimburse part of the fee. This is not a quote and not a bill; your Good Faith Estimate from Welmivia and your plan's own answer are what count.
Picking your carrier fills in what is known about how it sets out-of-network allowed amounts and whether its plans tend to cover out-of-network care. Your own plan documents decide.
Every 2026 individual-market plan sold in Florida is an HMO or EPO, and most sold in Virginia are too. Those plans pay nothing out of network. Employer PPO and POS plans usually do.
On your insurer's site or app, or ask them. Enter 0 if it is met.
Of the plan's "allowed amount", not of Welmivia's fee.
The two methods insurers describe in their disclosures. Ask your carrier which one your plan uses.
Cigna's disclosure lists 110%, 150% and 200% as the choices an employer can make. Your plan documents say which percentage applies to yours.
Plans never allow more than the billed charge: the plan compares its percentile figure for your area with Welmivia's charge and uses the lower one. This estimate uses Welmivia's fee. To check your own area, look up each code at fairhealthconsumer.org (free, for your personal use). If the total for your codes comes out lower than the fee, choose "I know my plan's allowed amount" and enter it.

How this estimate works, and what to ask your plan
- Private patients pay Welmivia's fee at the visit and receive a superbill, an itemized receipt with the visit codes, to send to their insurer.
- If the plan has out-of-network benefits, it applies its own "allowed amount" to each code, counts that against your out-of-network deductible, and then reimburses you a percentage of what is left. The allowed amount is set by the plan, not by Welmivia, which is why this is an estimate.
- Four questions for the number on your card: Do I have out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health? How much of my out-of-network deductible is left? What percentage do you pay after the deductible? How do you set the allowed amount for CPT 99205, 99214 and 90833 out of network: a percentage of Medicare (and which percentage), or a percentile of billed charges?
- Insurers describe two methods in their own disclosures. UnitedHealthcare says its plans most often use the 80th percentile of FAIR Health billed charges, with a percentage of Medicare on some plans. Cigna offers employers a percentile of billed charges (often the 70th or 80th) or 110%, 150% or 200% of a Medicare-based schedule. Aetna's "recognized charge" is defined in each plan's documents.
- Welmivia gives every private patient a Good Faith Estimate at scheduling. That document, not this page, is the estimate that counts. Reimbursement comes from your insurer, not from Welmivia, and Welmivia cannot guarantee any amount.

Questions
Questions people ask about cost
Is this estimate a bill or a quote?
No. It is a rough estimate from the answers you enter. For Medicare patients, the actual amount comes from Medicare's processing of the claim and any Medigap plan. Private patients receive a Good Faith Estimate when they schedule, and their own plan decides any reimbursement.
Why is the Medicare estimate the same in Virginia and Florida?
Medicare pays a video visit based on where the physician is, not where the patient is. Welmivia bills every Medicare visit through Palmetto GBA, the Medicare contractor for Virginia, at the Virginia rate.
Does Welmivia take Medicare Advantage, Medicaid or commercial insurance?
Welmivia bills Original Medicare Part B directly. Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid, and patients with both Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted. Because Welmivia is enrolled in Medicare, Medicare Advantage members cannot be seen as private-pay patients either. Patients with commercial insurance are seen privately, out of network, paid per visit, with a superbill; their plan decides any reimbursement.
Will my insurance pay me back for a private visit?
Only if your plan has out-of-network benefits for outpatient mental health, and usually only after an out-of-network deductible. Your plan sets its own allowed amount for each visit code and pays a share of it. The private-pay estimator above lists the four questions to ask your plan.
