Therapists accepting Humana in New Jersey

Seeing a Therapist Who Accepts Humana Insurance

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

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

Depending on your Humana 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 Humana health insurance plan, give them a call at (800) 787-3311 or visit the Humana website to review your behavioral health benefits online.
