BCBS coverage: common questions
Are you in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield in Houston?
Yes, through Headway, which handles credentialing and billing for the practice. Most BCBSTX PPO and HMO plans are accepted. Headway checks your specific plan in about a minute when you book.
What will a session cost me with BCBS?
It depends on your plan. Many BCBSTX plans have a set copay for therapy, and some apply a deductible first. Headway shows you the exact number before you confirm a session, so there's no surprise.
Does BCBS cover online therapy?
Yes. BCBSTX covers telehealth mental health visits with in-network providers at the same level as office visits.
Do I need a referral from my primary care doctor?
For most BCBSTX PPO plans, no. Some HMO plans require a referral. Headway will tell you if yours does.
Will my employer know I'm in therapy?
No. Your employer doesn't see claims. Your insurer receives a diagnosis code and dates of service, which is standard for any covered care.
