  I am currently in network with

  • All Blue Cross Blue Shield plans
  • Medicare - limitations apply, speak with Beth
  • All United plans except UHC RV Premier:
    I have contracts with most all types including River Valley and ACN. I am not  a member of the Premier plan. United is a very large company and it is sometimes difficult to get correct information. If you would like to check my status with United please have them look in the “individual practitioner” section under my full name “Elizabeth Shelly”. In some cases patients have still been told I am not in network when in fact I am a net work provider. Please call me directly if you are unsure.

  For all other plans - please ask if you have out-of-network benefits.

  You are responsible for checking your own insurance coverage and for any balance remaining after insurance  payment.
