BCBS and EMDR in Dallas–Fort Worth
DFW has plenty of licensed therapists, but EMDR-trained ones who take insurance are scarce, and most EMDR specialists in the metroplex run cash-pay practices at $150 to $300 a session. With BCBS of Texas you'd usually pay your plan's mental health copay instead.
- Typical copay
- BCBS copays vary a lot by plan and state. In-network mental health copays usually fall between $20 and $60, and HMO plans often cost less per visit than PPOs. Out-of-network coverage ranges widely too: some plans pay 60-80%, and others don't cover out-of-network providers.
- Prior authorization
- Most BCBS plans don't require prior authorization for outpatient therapy, EMDR included. Some ask for notification or authorization after a certain number of sessions. Intensive outpatient programs usually need approval first.
- How it's billed
- EMDR is billed using standard codes: 90834 (38-52 minutes) or 90837 (53+ minutes). Some BCBS plans also allow the G2212 add-on code for psychotherapy sessions that run longer than usual. BCBS doesn't require any EMDR-specific authorization codes.
Frequently asked questions
- Does BCBS of Texas cover EMDR in Dallas?
- It covers EMDR the same way it covers other outpatient therapy, billed as psychotherapy (CPT 90834 or 90837). Most plans don't ask for prior authorization for outpatient sessions. We check your specific plan before your first session.
- My card says Anthem Blue Cross. Is that the same thing?
- It isn't. Each Blue plan runs its own network, and Loma is not currently in-network with Anthem-run plans. Look for "Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas" on your card, or send us your details and we'll check.
