Seeing a Therapist Who Accepts Cigna EAP
Cigna EAP therapists, psychologists, and counselors are available for in-person appointments and video therapy sessions.
Therapy with an in-network Cigna EAP counselor may cost nothing or no more than your copay, which typically ranges from $0 to $50. Some Cigna EAP 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.
You may have to pay the therapist’s full rate if you haven’t met your annual deductible with Cigna EAP, even if the therapist is an in-network provider.
Depending on your Cigna EAP 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 EAP health insurance plan, give them a call at (800) 997-1654 or review your Cigna EAP behavioral health benefits online.
