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.
