BlueCross BlueShield insurance provides coverage for behavioral health services in Sacramento. BCBS HMO-style plans cover in-network providers while PPO plans provide a benefit that can be applied to either in-network or out-of-network providers. Blue Cross Blue Shield may not require a referral from your primary care practitioner for covered behavioral health services.
Some BCBS Therapists in Sacramento only have room for a few insurance slots in their schedule, so it's important to confirm in-network availability when you book your first appointment.
