Counseling
There are no limits on the mental health coverage on either of LifeNet’s health insurance plans with BlueCross. The copay on the Traditional plan is $50 for In-Network physicians. On the HDHP plan, it would be the cost of the visit after the discounted price (usually around $175-$200, some are a bit cheaper).

*Note: Certified First Responder counselors may not be in-network with BlueCross. Make sure to ask if they’re in-network prior to scheduling your appointment.
The counselors listed below are not endorsed by LifeNet. They are, however, providers some of our team members do see and have recommended. We encourage you to do your own research and vetting to find the counselor who best suits your needs.
