Yes, BCBS covers therapy services. However, it's important that you understand your specific plan, including coverage limits, out of pocket costs, and if your plan only allows a certain number of sessions per year, or if it covers online therapy. Our practice offers a complimentary benefits check on your behalf, but we always recommend checking the BCBS provider finder tool on your member portal or calling the Member Services line.
We also accept out of state BCBS plans and are able to verify those benefits on your behalf.
-
Our practice is in-network with BCBS PPO plans and BCBS Blue Options plans (as a tier 2 provider). We do not accept Blue Choice, HMO, or BCBS Community plans.

If we're are not in-network with your insurance, we provide out of network services ranging between $150-$225 per session, depending on the provider you work with.
