Convenient Online Therapy

Did you know that 50% of people with mental health conditions in Wisconsin do not access treatment? At WEA Trust, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health.

With the addition of online therapy to our Amwell telehealth platform, now you can have video-based therapy visits to treat common mental health conditions. From chronic concerns such as depression and anxiety, to recent adjustment disorders caused by events such as grief or divorce, Amwell online therapy ensures you have affordable and easy access to the care you need.

Q:What should I do if I get a message that my insurance cannot be verified?

Double check that the name you used to sign up for Amwell is entered EXACTLY as it appears on your ID card. This includes the spacing between hyphenated last names.

During high volume times, such as the first two weeks of January and July, you may receive this message even if you have entered all your account information correctly. You may continue with your visit and email support@americanwell.com to be reimbursed after the visit. 

If you continue to have this issue, please call WEA Trust’s customer service team at 800.279.4000.

Q:What should I do if I was incorrectly charged for a video visit?

If you believe you were incorrectly charged for a video visit, call Amwell’s customer service team at 855-818-3627. Most often, this happens because the Service Key “TRUST” or your WEA Trust subscriber ID number was not entered when you signed up. 

 

Important Note: The actual cost of your visit will be calculated immediately before your visit begins. For example, you may have a $0 copay, but it appears the cost for your scheduled therapy appointment is $95. Before you begin your visit, Amwell will check your eligibility in real time and adjust the cost of the visit accordingly.
