Does Your Insurance Cover Therapy?

Before you start therapy, the first thing you should do is verify your outpatient Blue Shield of California therapy coverage. If your plan doesn’t cover behavioral health therapy, they won’t pay; it may surprise you how many plans don’t include therapist insurance coverage.

To determine what your plan covers, you can call the customer service number on your insurance card. Once you know for sure that your insurance will cover outpatient behavioral health, leave it to us to help you find a therapist who accepts Blue Shield of California plans.
