Therapists accepting Florida Blue in Florida

Seeing a Therapist Who Accepts Florida Blue Insurance

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

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

Depending on your Florida Blue 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 Florida Blue health insurance plan, give them a call at (800) 352-2583 or visit Florida Blue’s website to review your behavioral health benefits online. 

Finding Psychologists, Therapists, and Counselors in Florida

Finding a therapist in Florida may be easier in the city of Miami. Online therapy may be a good 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 Florida will be between $70 - $130+ per session. For couples counseling and family therapy, costs might start at $100 - $175+ per session.
