Coverage limitations –

Cigna health insurance may vary based on the specific plan and its coverage details. Insurance plans often differ in their terms and conditions, and changes may occur over time.

To obtain accurate and up-to-date information about the limitations of your mental health benefits under Cigna health insurance, it is recommended to review your insurance policy, summary plan description, or other official documents provided by Cigna. These documents should outline the details of your mental health coverage, including any limitations, co-pays, deductibles, and coverage periods.

Representatives can provide you with the most current and personalized information regarding your mental health benefits and any limitations that may apply.

Insurance plans, including mental health benefits, undergo changes, so it’s crucial to get the most recent information directly from the source to ensure accurate and reliable details specific to your coverage.  Be sure to ask Cigna member services about your copay for mental health outpatient services, specifically for codes 90834 and 90837 (those CPT codes are used by Cigna therapists).

Types of Therapy Coverage:

Depending on what you are grappling with, you might benefit from a high level of care. In this case, follow your employer’s medical plan requirements to make an appointment with a psychiatrist (a mental health medical doctor), or an inpatient treatment hospital or clinic. Your doctor, counselor, or therapist may also refer you and help you coordinate care or treatment.

How much does therapy cost with Cigna?

The cost of therapy sessions varies widely from one Cigna plan to another. Most often, there is some co-pay, but you might also have a deductible to pay upfront before the sessions are partly or fully covered. The co-pay is the fixed amount that you owe at each therapy visit. The deductible is the total amount you need to spend on medical costs in a year before your insurance begins to cover the cost of mental health services. Be sure to review the details of your plan and stay aware of its policies.
