Does MindView take Anthem?
Yes, in Indiana. MindView Therapy is in-network with Anthem, the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan in Indiana, for clients in Carmel and the greater Indianapolis area, and sessions are held by telehealth.
In-network means Anthem has a negotiated rate with us. You are responsible for your copay or coinsurance, not the full cost of the session, and you are not billed the difference.
Is Anthem the same as Blue Cross Blue Shield?
Yes. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is the Blues plan in Indiana.
Blue Cross Blue Shield is a national association of independent plans, and each state has its own licensee. In Indiana, that plan is Anthem, which is why nearly every local member carries an Anthem card rather than one that says only Blue Cross Blue Shield. Searching for a “Blue Cross therapist” and holding an Anthem card is the same search.
If your card is from another state’s Blue plan, your benefits usually travel with you through the BlueCard program. The three letters printed in front of your member ID tell us which Blue plan holds your policy. Rules differ, so we verify before your first session rather than assuming.
What will I pay?
That depends on your specific plan, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Most people pay a copay per session. Some plans use coinsurance, a percentage of the negotiated rate. Some apply a deductible first, meaning you pay the negotiated rate until it is met, after which your copay takes over.
You can see your behavioral health benefit by signing in at anthem.com or in the Sydney Health app. We verify it ourselves before your first session and tell you what you will owe. No surprise bill after the fact.
Do I need a referral, and is telehealth covered?
Usually no referral. Anthem PPO plans generally allow direct access to an in-network behavioral health provider. Some HMO plans, such as Pathway HMO, may require a referral from your primary care doctor. We check this when we verify your benefits.
Telehealth is covered on most Anthem plans, commonly at the same benefit level as an in-office visit. That is how our Indiana clients are seen, from home, anywhere in the state.
