| Plan Type | In-Network Therapy & Medication-Mgmt Cost* | Key Takeaways |
|---|---|---|
| Employer or Marketplace PPO/HMO | $0–$40 copay per visit; no separate mental-health deductible | Mental-health benefits are fully integrated with medical. |
| High-Deductible (HSA-eligible) | 20 % after deductible, then $0–$40 | Same coverage, different timing of cost-share. |
| Anthem Medicare Advantage | $0 LiveHealth Online video; $15–$40 in-office | Most plans waive copays for virtual visits. |
*Always confirm your own Evidence of Coverage (EOC); employer carve-outs can vary.
| Provider Type | Typical Role |
|---|---|
| Therapist / Counselor (LCSW, LMFT, LPC) | Weekly talk therapy, stress, life transitions |
| Psychologist (PhD, PsyD) | Psychological testing, EMDR, DBT |
| Psychiatrist (MD/DO) | Diagnosis, medication management |
Luis, a 38-year-old firefighter in Denver, felt creeping anxiety after a string of high-stress shifts. Here’s his 12-day timeline:
Total time from search to therapy: 3 days. Out-of-pocket: $0 so far.
| Stay In-Network (recommended) | Go Out-of-Network (PPO only) |
| Predictable copay/coinsurance | Pay full fee, submit for partial reimbursement |
| Claims filed automatically | You handle paperwork |
| Integrated with Anthem’s Care Management | Useful for niche specialties when network is thin |
If you can’t secure an in-network visit within 10 business days, request a “network-deficiency exception.” Anthem may cover an outside clinician at in-network rates under parity law.
| Platform | Services | Typical Cost | Who’s Eligible |
|---|---|---|---|
| LiveHealth Online Therapy | Video visits with licensed therapists & psychologists | $0–$40; many plans → $0 | Employer, Marketplace, Medicare Advantage |
| LiveHealth Online Psychiatry | Medication evaluations & follow-ups | $0–$40; many plans → $0 | Employer, Marketplace, Medicare Advantage |
| Happify / iPrevail | On-demand CBT, coaching modules | $0 | Many employer plans |
Virtual visits count toward your deductible and out-of-pocket max just like office visits.
| Setting | Employer & Marketplace Plans | High-Deductible Plan | Medicare Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-office therapy (45 min) | $0–$40 copay | 20 % after deductible | $15–$40 copay |
| LiveHealth Online therapy | Often $0 | Deductible, then $0 | $0 |
| Initial psychiatry eval | $40–$60 copay | 20 % after deductible | $20–$50 copay |
If chemistry is off, reopen the directory—switching therapists that take Anthem is quick and penalty-free.
