Therapists accepting Cigna in California

Seeing a Therapist Who Accepts Cigna Insurance

Cigna therapists, psychologists, and counselors are available for in-person appointments and video therapy sessions. 

Therapy with an in-network Cigna counselor may cost no more than your copay, which typically ranges from $0 to $50. Some Cigna plans may require you to pay coinsurance instead of a copay, which means you’ll cover a certain percentage of the therapist’s fees out-of-pocket. 

If you haven’t met your annual deductible with Cigna, you may have to pay the therapist’s full rate, even if they’re an in-network provider with Cigna.

Depending on your Cigna insurance plan, there may be restrictions on the types of therapy services covered (e.g. couples counseling, grief counseling, psychological testing). Additionally, some plans may require you to get a referral from your primary care physician.

To check the specific costs and coverage details associated with your Cigna health insurance plan, give them a call at (800) 997-1654 or check the Cigna website to review your Cigna behavioral health benefits online. 

Finding Psychologists, Therapists, and Counselors in California

Finding a therapist in California may be easier in the city of Los Angeles. Online therapy may be your best option if you live in more rural areas or if a therapist with a particular specialty is not located near you

Out of pocket costs for therapy in California will be between $110 - $150+ per session. For couples counseling and family therapy, costs are around $120 - $175+ per session. First appointments with a therapist tend to be a little longer and may cost a little more. Also, it’s important to note that specialized services can cost more.

There are over 58,500 therapists in the State of California with licenses, including Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Psychologists (Ph.D. and Psy.D.).

If you think you might qualify for free or reduced-cost services from the state, take a look at the DMHC website and/or see if you qualify for Medi-Cal.
