Therapists accepting Anthem in District Of Columbia

Seeing a Therapist Who Accepts Anthem Insurance

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

Therapy with an in-network Anthem counselor may cost no more than your copay, which typically ranges from $0 to $50. Some Anthem 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 Anthem, even if the therapist is an in-network provider with Anthem.

Depending on your Anthem 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 Anthem health insurance plan, give them a call at (800) 676-2583 or visit Anthem’s website to review your behavioral health benefits online.
