Anthem Blue Cross psychiatry in San Francisco.
We're in-network with Anthem Blue Cross of California — PPO, HMO (with referral), and EPO plans. Most patients pay their plan's mental-health copay. We verify your specific coverage before your first visit.
What Anthem covers here
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation (new patient)
- Ongoing medication treatment & refills
- Psychotherapy sessions
- Telemedicine follow-ups (same coverage as in-person)
What you'll pay
Most Anthem patients pay their mental-health visit copay — typically $20–$60 per visit after meeting their deductible. Plans with no mental-health deductible often pay copay from visit one.
We verify your specific plan's copay, deductible status, and whether a referral is needed before your first visit. You get this information in writing, by email, before you commit to anything.
Common Anthem plan types we see
- Anthem PPO — no referral needed, broad network access
- Anthem EPO — no referral needed, in-network only
- Anthem HMO — usually requires a PCP referral for mental health; we can help with the referral process
- Employer self-funded plans — run on Anthem's network; we verify case-by-case
Not accepted: Blue Shield of California
A common source of confusion: Blue Shield of California is a separate insurer from Anthem Blue Cross. The name is similar; the companies are not. If your card says "Blue Shield," that's not us.
