Using Anthem for therapy

Anthem plans in New York can include HMO, PPO, and EPO options, each with different network structures and out-of-pocket implications. Employer-sponsored plans and marketplace plans can vary significantly. The name on your card is a starting point, but your specific plan benefits determine what therapy may cost.

Coverage varies by plan, clinician, and benefits. Peace Love Wellness can help you understand your options before beginning, but final coverage is determined by your insurance plan.

Therapy should fit more than your benefits

Our team offers individual therapy for adults and couples or relationship therapy when clinically appropriate. If you are using Anthem or Empire BlueCross coverage, we will help clarify which services and clinicians may be available based on your specific plan.

We also pay attention to therapist fit, availability, identity-affirming care, relational style, and whether the work feels clinically appropriate for what you are carrying.
