Most types of coverage are available
01
Does Florida Blue cover couples therapy?
Couples and family therapy are specialized services that insurance does not cover, as no mental health diagnosis is required. These sessions involve a comprehensive approach including extended sessions, assessments, and collaboration among our clinical team. If you have a PPO plan, you may be able to receive partial reimbursement through a superbill. Our team can walk you through your options.
02
What's my copay?
Your copay depends on your specific Blue Cross Blue Shield plan and whether you've met your deductible. Typical in-network therapy copays range from $20 to $60 per session. We'll verify your exact cost before your first appointment so you know what to expect.
03
Do I need a referral?
Most Blue Cross Blue Shield and Florida Blue plans do not require a referral to see a licensed mental health therapist. You can reach out to us directly and our intake team will help you get started right away.
04
How soon can I get an appointment?
We know that when you're ready to start therapy, waiting isn't easy. Most clients are matched with a therapist and seen within one week of reaching out to our office.
05
Does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover telehealth sessions?
Yes, Blue Cross Blue Shield covers telehealth sessions with licensed therapists. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions throughout Florida so you can access care from wherever you are.
06
What if I haven't met my deductible?
If your deductible hasn't been met yet, you'll pay the contracted in-network rate per session until it is. We'll give you a clear cost estimate before you book so there are no surprises.
At Love Discovery Institute, located in Miami, Coral Gables, we extend a warm invitation for you to reach out to our licensed mental health therapists. By booking your appointment here or calling us at 305-605-LOVE (5683), you take a significant step on your journey of self-discovery and healing.
