How Anthem May Cover Anxiety Treatment in Texas

Under the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurers such as Anthem are generally required to offer mental health benefits — including coverage for anxiety disorders — at parity with medical and surgical benefits. Texas state parity laws may provide additional protections depending on your specific plan type.

Anthem plan types available in Texas include:

• PPO plans typically allow you to see both in-network and out-of-network mental health providers for anxiety care. In-network providers generally result in lower cost-sharing.
• HMO plans typically require patients to stay within the plan's network. A referral from a primary care physician may be needed before seeing a mental health specialist for anxiety.
• EPO plans generally cover in-network services only and may include telehealth options for anxiety treatment depending on the plan.

Prior Authorization: Some Anthem plans in Texas may require prior authorization for anxiety medications or ongoing mental health treatment. Verify authorization requirements before starting care.

Deductibles and Copays: Out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. Klarity's benefits verification tool can help estimate what you may owe before your first appointment.
