Why MindView
Most therapy on Highmark BCBS has no structure. Ours has four stages and a scoreboard.
Being in-network with Highmark BCBS is the easy part. What you get for it is one format for every client: a full intake, a written treatment plan, and standardized measures reviewed with you every month.
- 01
Intake
What is actually going on, rated 0 to 10 as your baseline.
- 02
Your history
Why it is happening. History, relationships, work, health.
- 03
Treatment plan
Written and collaborative, built against those causes.
- 04
Monthly review
Standardized measures, reviewed with you. You see the trend.
A license is where our training starts, not where it ends.
Every clinician is state-licensed before they see a single client. Then they train with us across every modality, and how to match one to the problem in front of them.

The support staff was very helpful in assisting me to find the right provider. And the provider they found me is personable, a good listener, has good advice, and appears to be quite knowledgeable. I'm very happy with my decision to go with MindView.

Throughout New York, by telehealth
Highmark BCBS is accepted throughout New York. Sessions are conducted by telehealth, so you can be seen anywhere we practice.
You do not need to live near one of our offices. If you are in the state and your plan is in-network, you can be seen.
Who is Highmark, and which Highmark do I have?
Highmark is one of the largest Blue Cross Blue Shield organizations in the country. It operates Blues plans across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Delaware, and New York, and its Western New York plan is Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York, headquartered in Buffalo.
That means a Highmark card in Buffalo can mean two different things. It may be a local Western New York plan, issued here for an employer or an individual policy. Or it may be a Highmark card issued somewhere else, most often Pennsylvania, carried by someone who moved to Buffalo, works remotely for an out-of-state employer, or is on a parent’s or spouse’s plan.
Both work here. The billing path is what differs.
Does MindView take Highmark?
Yes. MindView Therapy is in-network with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield at our Buffalo office, and by telehealth throughout New York State.
Because we are in-network, you pay your plan’s copay or coinsurance rather than the full session fee, and you are not billed the difference.
What if my Highmark card was issued outside Western New York?
You can almost always still use it.
We verify all of this before your first session rather than letting you find out from an explanation of benefits weeks later.
What will I pay?
That depends on your plan, and we will not guess at it.
Most people pay a copay per session. Some plans use coinsurance, a percentage of the negotiated rate. Some apply a deductible first. Highmark plans generally cover outpatient behavioral health, and telehealth is typically covered at the same benefit level as an in-office visit, but plan design varies.
We verify your benefits and tell you the number before your first appointment.
How do I get started?
Book online through our booking page. The form takes about two minutes. Have your Highmark member ID card ready.
We verify your coverage, confirm your cost, and get you scheduled. We are accepting new clients and respond within one business day. If your card was issued out of state, call (646) 493-4007 and read it to us.
How to check your Highmark BCBS coverage
- 1
Sign in to your member account at highmark.com to view your outpatient behavioral health benefit and any remaining deductible.
- 2
Call the member services number on the back of your card and ask what you owe per outpatient therapy visit and whether a referral is required.
Highmark BCBS questions
Does MindView Therapy take Highmark?
Yes. We are in-network with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield at our Buffalo office at 369 Washington Street, and for telehealth across New York State.
What will therapy cost me with Highmark?
You pay your plan's copay or coinsurance rather than the full session fee, and any unmet deductible may apply first. Costs vary by plan, so we verify your benefits and tell you the number before your first session.
Do I need a referral to see a therapist with Highmark?
Most Highmark PPO plans do not require a referral for in-network outpatient behavioral health. Some gated products do. We check your plan when we verify benefits.
Does Highmark cover telehealth therapy?
Most Highmark plans cover behavioral telehealth at the same benefit level as an in-office visit. We confirm this for your plan.
What is the difference between Highmark and Highmark BCBS of Western New York?
Highmark is the parent organization operating Blues plans in several states. Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York is the local Blues plan for the eight Western New York counties. We accept both at our Buffalo office.
