How Anthem May Cover ADHD Treatment in Texas

The federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) generally requires insurers such as Anthem to cover mental health conditions — including ADHD — at parity with medical and surgical benefits. Texas state mental health parity laws may also apply depending on your plan type.

Anthem plan types available in Texas include:

• PPO plans typically allow access to both in-network and out-of-network mental health providers, including those who specialize in ADHD evaluation and management. In-network care generally results in lower out-of-pocket costs.
• HMO plans typically require patients to use in-network providers and may require a referral from a primary care physician before seeing a mental health specialist for ADHD.
• EPO plans generally cover in-network services only and may include mental health benefits for ADHD depending on the specific plan.

Prior Authorization: Some Anthem plans in Texas may require prior authorization for ADHD evaluations or certain ADHD medications. Confirm prior authorization requirements with your plan before beginning treatment.

Deductibles and Copays: Your costs for ADHD treatment will depend on your plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance structure. Klarity's benefits verification tool can help estimate your costs before your first appointment.
