Getting to know Rica Puazo
IMPORTANT: Thriveworks cannot provide services to clients with Medicaid coverage. If you have Medicaid, please contact your plan directly to find an in-network provider.
For all other insurance plans, Thriveworks will verify your benefits after you book through Zocdoc. If verification isn't completed before your visit, you'll be charged our self-pay rate of $200 for that session.
AFTER YOU BOOK: Complete these steps to avoid cancellation or being switched to self-pay.
1. Check your email for instructions to set up your Thriveworks account. Within your Thriveworks’ account, sign consent forms and add a valid credit card, which will be automatically charged for copays, fees, post-insurance balances, and self-pay amounts.
2. If using insurance, upload clear photos of the front and back of your insurance card.
3. Expect a confirmation call from our team to verify your information and answer questions.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Provide 48 hours advance notice to avoid the $135 late cancellation fee.
