Insurance Coverage FAQs

Yes. Westside Behavioral Care accepts insurance from many major providers, including Aetna, Anthem/BCBS, Cigna/Evernorth, Humana, Kaiser Permanente, Medicare, Optum/United, and more. Our large network of licensed therapists offers individual, couples, family, and child therapy, making it easier to find care that fits your needs. Coverage varies depending on your specific plan, some sessions may be fully covered, while others may require a co-pay or deductible.

If you'd like to verify your benefits before your session, you can call your insurance company directly and ask about “outpatient mental health benefits with in-network contracted providers” to learn your copay amount and any session limits. If asked, you can let the support rep know that you plan to be seen for CPT Code 90791 (initial psychiatric diagnostic evaluation) and 90837 (53+ minute psychotherapy session).

Booking a therapy appointment through Westside Behavioral Care is quick and hassle-free. Simply visit our Schedule Appointment page and use our intuitive search tool to find a provider near you.

Our goal is to get you into care quickly, often within just a few days. Whether you're looking for in-person or virtual appointments, we're ready to help you get started with the right in-network support.

We also created a detailed guide to Finding a Therapist in Denver Who Accepts Your Insurance if you'd like detailed information.

The cost of therapy depends on your specific insurance plan and coverage. Many clients pay only a small copay per session, while others may have their therapy fully covered with no out-of-pocket cost. Clients with high deductible plans may need to meet their deductible before their insurance begins to pay for their therapy sessions. Please reach out to your insurance to verify your specific benefits.

Understanding health insurance terms is key to avoiding surprises in your billing.

A copay (short for copayment) is a fixed amount you pay per visit for a covered health care service, such as a therapy session. Copays are a flat fee, usually ranging from $5–$50 depending on your plan. The copay amount is set by your insurance company and can vary depending on your plan and the type of visit (in-person vs online).

A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket for covered health care services before your insurance plan begins to share the cost. Once you meet your deductible, your insurance typically starts paying a portion of your care, while you continue to pay a copay or coinsurance percentage, until you meet your maximum-out-of-pocket for the year.

Coinsurance refers to the percentage of the cost of a covered health care service that you pay after meeting your deductible. Unlike a copay, which is a fixed dollar amount, coinsurance is a shared cost between you and your insurance company and is likely to vary by provider, visit type, and service.
