How Humana Mental-Health Coverage Works

Plan Type In-Network Therapy & Psychiatry Cost* Key Points
Humana Medicare Advantage (HMO/PPO) $0–$35 copay in office** · $0 virtual on many plans No visit limits; mental health shares your medical deductible if one exists
Humana Medicare Supplement (Medigap) + Original Medicare 20 % of the Medicare-approved amount after the Part B deductible ($257 in 2025) Medigap typically pays that 20 % for you
Humana Medicaid (select states) $0 copay Unlimited medically necessary visits
Legacy Employer PPO/HMO (shrinking segment) $0–$40 copay in network; 20 % after deductible on high-deductible plans Check your Evidence of Coverage

*Figures are 2025 averages—always confirm your own Summary of Benefits or Medicaid member handbook.

Coverage fast facts

  • Unlimited medically necessary visits. Humana sets no annual cap on outpatient therapy or psychiatry.
  • New provider types. Licensed professional counselors and marriage-and-family therapists can bill Medicare Advantage as of 2024, so your list of in-network clinicians just grew.
  • Telehealth parity—often $0. Many MA and Medicaid plans waive copays for video therapy and psychiatry delivered through preferred platforms.
  • No referral required for PPO and most HMO-POS designs; state Medicaid may ask you to see a primary-care provider first.

Meet the Mental-Health Providers in Humana’s Network

Provider Type Typical Role
Therapist / Counselor (LCSW, LMFT, LPC) Weekly talk therapy, coping skills, family sessions
Psychologist (PhD, PsyD) Psychological testing, trauma-focused or specialty modalities
Psychiatrist (MD/DO) Diagnosis, medication management, complex cases

Real-Life Use Case: How Anita Found a Therapist That Takes Humana

Anita, 67, retired nurse in Tampa, carries a Humana Gold Plus Medicare Advantage HMO. She’s been struggling with grief after losing a sibling. Here’s her 12-day path from symptoms to care:

  1. Day 1 — Portal Login MyHumana.com → “Find a Doctor” → “Behavioral Health.”
  2. Day 1 — Smart Filters She selects “Telehealth,” “grief,” and “Accepting new patients,” showing her four therapists that take Humana.
  3. Day 2 — Cost Check The cost estimator shows $0 for video therapy, $35 in office.
  4. Day 3 — First Video Visit Anita schedules a Friday session with Carlos Moreno, LCSW—an in-network Humana therapist experienced in grief care.
  5. Day 10 — Medication Consult Carlos suggests a low-dose SSRI. Anita books a 30-minute tele-psychiatry slot with a Humana psychiatrist for the next afternoon (also $0).

Total out-of-pocket cost: $0. Total time from search to first appointment: 3 days.


Step-by-Step: How to find in-network care:

  1. Log in to MyHumana or the Humana mobile app. Tap Find a Doctor → Behavioral Health.
  2. Filter Smartly. Choose in-person or virtual, specialty (trauma, couples, ADHD), language, evening hours.
  3. Confirm Cost. Click “Estimate Cost” under each listing—numbers are pulled from your exact plan.
  4. Book. For platform-based telehealth (often powered by Teladoc), scheduling happens inside the portal; office visits require a quick call.
  5. Complete Intake Forms. Many clinicians email HIPAA-secure questionnaires; finish them early to avoid delays.
  6. Use Digital Bridges. While you wait, explore the free mindfulness and CBT modules Humana highlights in its mental-wellness hub.

In-Network vs. Out-of-Network:

Stay In-Network (highly recommended) Go Out-of-Network (Medicare Supplement & some PPO only)
Predictable copay/coinsurance Pay full fee up front, submit a claim for partial reimbursement
Claims filed automatically You handle paperwork
Integrated with Humana case-management tools Useful for niche specialties if the network is thin

If you can’t secure an in-network appointment within 10 business days, ask Humana for a network-adequacy exception. They must help you find care or approve out-of-network reimbursement at in-network rates.


Digital & Telehealth Options

Platform Services Typical Member Cost Who’s Eligible
Humana Virtual Therapy (Teladoc-powered) Video therapy & psychiatry $0 on most MA plans; $0–$30 on commercial PPO Medicare Advantage, employer legacy plans
State Medicaid Telehealth Video or audio-only therapy $0 Medicaid members (coverage varies by state)
Self-Guided Tools On-demand CBT, mindfulness tracks $0 All members via MyHumana Wellness hub

Telehealth visits count toward your out-of-pocket max just like office visits.


Cost & Coverage

Setting Medicare Advantage Medigap + Original Medicare Medicaid Legacy Employer Plan
In-office therapy (45 min) $0–$35 copay 20 % (often paid by Medigap) $0 $0–$40 copay
Network tele-therapy Often $0 20 % (Medigap pays) $0 Deductible, then $0
Initial psychiatry eval $0–$50 copay 20 % $0 $40–$60 copay

If the first match isn’t ideal, reopen the directory—switching therapists that take Humana is quick and penalty-free.


What to Do if wait times exceed 10 days

1. Keep a Record Write down every provider you contact. Include:

  • Date of the call
  • Name of the staff member
  • Next available appointment offered

This documentation will help if you need to escalate.

2. Contact Humana Care Management: Call the number on your Humana insurance card and ask to speak with a Behavioral Health Care Manager. They can help you search for cancellations or providers with sooner availability—even across different ZIP codes.

3. Request a Network Adequacy Exception: If no in-network provider is available within 10 business days, you have the right to request a network adequacy exception. Humana may approve care with an out-of-network provider at in-network rates to meet timely access standards.

4. File a Grievance Through MyHumana: If you're still facing delays, submit a formal grievance via your MyHumana account. Humana must respond within 30 days, and many members report faster resolution after filing.

Bottom line: Be polite, persistent, and organized. Members who keep good notes and ask the right questions often secure faster access to in-network Humana psychologists or psychiatrists.


FAQ’s

Does Humana cover therapy? Yes. Outpatient therapy with enrolled, in-network clinicians is a core medical benefit across Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and remaining employer plans. Typical cost: $0–$35 per session or 20 % coinsurance for Original Medicare.

How do I find therapists that take Humana near me? Log in to MyHumana → Find a Doctor → Behavioral Health and filter by ZIP, specialty, and availability.

What’s the difference between a Humana therapist and a Humana psychologist? “Therapist” (LCSW, LMFT, LPC) is a broad counseling designation. “Psychologist” (PhD/PsyD) can also conduct testing. Both are covered if in network.

Are Humana psychiatrists accepting new patients? Many are—especially via virtual visits. Use the “Accepting new patients” filter and consider tele-slots.

Will my virtual session count toward my deductible? Yes. Telehealth visits apply to the same deductible and out-of-pocket max as office visits.
