Medically reviewed by Gabriela Asturias, MD on May 23, 2025When looking for an in-network Blue Cross and Blue Shield Therapist, it is imporatnt to keep in mind that each Blue Cross and Blue Shield member card points to a local company such as Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, or Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. Those regional plans all belong to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, but they set their own networks, copays, and digital-health partnerships. In this guide we will help you find and connect with a Blue Cross Blue Shield therapist covered by your relevant plan, and tap into telehealth or self-help tools while you wait.

Does Blue Cross cover therapy? In almost every plan, yes. All 34 independently owned Blue plans must follow federal mental-health parity rules, so outpatient therapy is covered on the same footing as a doctor visit or X-ray.
Typical costs often look like this:
| Plan Example | In-Network Cost for Individual Therapy* |
|---|---|
| FEP Blue Standard Option (nationwide Federal plan) | $30 copay |
| Blue Cross Blue Shield Service Benefit Basic Option | $35 copay |
| Many state-marketplace Silver HMOs | $0–$40 copay (or 20% after deductible on high-deductible plans) |
*Always confirm your own Evidence of Coverage—each licensee may tweak rates.
Key coverage facts:
