BCBS Therapy Questions, Answered
Are the therapists at New Vision Therapy Center in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield?
Yes. New Vision Therapy Center is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) at our Austin location, which means BCBS members typically only pay their plan's copay or coinsurance after meeting any deductible.
How much will therapy cost with my Blue Cross Blue Shield plan?
Most BCBS members pay between $0 and $50 per session after their deductible is met. The exact amount depends on your specific plan. We verify your benefits before your first session so there are no surprises.
Which BCBS plans do you accept in Austin?
We accept most BCBS of Texas plans, including PPO, HMO, Blue Advantage, Blue Essentials, Blue Premier, and Federal Employee Program (FEP) plans. We also accept BlueCard PPO if you're visiting Texas from another state.
Do I need a referral from my doctor to start therapy with BCBS?
Most BCBS PPO plans do not require a referral for mental health services. Some HMO plans may require one from your primary care provider. When you call us, we'll verify whether a referral is needed for your specific plan.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Most new clients are seen within 3 to 7 business days. We offer in-person sessions at our Menchaca Rd office in South Austin and Telehealth sessions across Texas, including evening and weekend availability.
What if I have a high deductible and haven't met it yet?
If you haven't met your deductible, you'll pay our contracted in-network rate (typically much lower than self-pay) until the deductible is satisfied. We can also discuss self-pay options if that ends up being more affordable for your situation.
Is Telehealth covered the same as in-person therapy?
Yes. Under BCBS of Texas mental health parity rules, Telehealth sessions are covered at the same rate as in-person visits. You can see your therapist from anywhere in Texas using our secure video platform.
