Sana EMDR coverage details
Sana Benefits provides health plans to small businesses (typically five or more employees), with a strong presence in Texas, where the company is headquartered. Mental health care is covered as a core benefit, and Sana's plan design favors virtual care: on most plans, virtual mental health visits carry a $0 copay while in-person visits carry a standard copay. Because Loma delivers EMDR entirely by telehealth, many Sana members pay nothing out of pocket per session. Specific benefits vary by the plan your employer selected, so Loma verifies your coverage before matching you.
How EMDR is billed with Sana
- CPT codes
- EMDR is billed using standard psychotherapy codes: 90834 (38-52 minutes) or 90837 (53+ minutes). No EMDR-specific codes or modifiers are required with Sana.
- Typical copay
- On most Sana plans, virtual mental health visits — including telehealth EMDR — carry a $0 copay. In-person mental health visits typically carry a copay around $50, but that does not apply to Loma's telehealth sessions. Your exact cost depends on the plan your employer chose, which is why Loma verifies benefits before your first session.
- Prior authorization
- Outpatient psychotherapy, including EMDR, does not typically require prior authorization with Sana. Check your member portal or plan materials for any plan-specific requirements.
- Session limits
- Sana plans do not advertise arbitrary session limits on outpatient mental health care. Because benefits vary by the plan your employer selected, Loma confirms session coverage as part of verifying your benefits — if your plan has any limits, you'll know before your first session.
