How coverage works with Highmark
We are in-network with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, the Blue plan serving Western and Central Pennsylvania. If you are a Highmark member seeing us in Philadelphia, the BlueCard program applies: you use your Highmark benefits with our practice just as you would at home. No referral is required for outpatient therapy, and telehealth is covered at parity for Pennsylvania residents.
What you will typically pay
A copay is a flat fee per session, typically $15 to $50 with Highmark, after your deductible is met. Some plans use coinsurance instead, a percentage of the session cost. Your deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket each year before your plan begins paying; many plans waive it for outpatient mental health. One call to Highmark member services settles which applies to you.
One thing Highmark members should know
Highmark is a separate company from Independence Blue Cross, even though both carry the Blue Cross name. If your card says Independence Blue Cross or Keystone Health Plan East, see our Independence Blue Cross page for out-of-network guidance.
Verify your benefits
Call the number on your Highmark card and ask: Do I have outpatient mental health benefits? What is my copay or coinsurance? What is my deductible, and how much is met? Is there a session limit? Do I need a referral?
