How Cigna Insurance Coverage for Mental Health Works
Cigna mental health coverage works similarly to coverage for other medical services. Cigna has a network of mental health facilities and providers, including therapists and psychiatrists. They may also cover in-network virtual mental health services. Visiting in-network providers results in lower out-of-pocket costs.
Some mental health treatments, therapies, and medications may require preauthorization from Cigna before you receive services, depending on your plan. This ensures that the treatment or medication is medically necessary and covered. Additionally, depending on your specific plan, you may be responsible for copayments, fixed dollar amounts, or coinsurance payments, such as you paying 25 percent and Cigna paying 75 percent when receiving mental health services.
Most plans also have a deductible that needs to be met before Cigna covers certain mental health services. Once the deductible is met, then there are often no more out-of-pocket expenses. It is equally important to note that Cigna plans may have limits on mental health services, such as the number of therapy sessions allowed per year, or have coverage caps for certain types of treatments.
