Telehealth Rules in California
California has comprehensive telehealth parity laws under the Knox-Keene Act, requiring commercial insurers to reimburse telehealth at the same rate as in-person care. Use modifier 95 for synchronous video sessions. California also requires informed consent for telehealth and prohibits insurers from requiring in-person visits before authorizing telehealth care.
Insurance Landscape in California
California's insurance market is one of the largest and most competitive in the nation. Major carriers include Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Kaiser Permanente, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. OON reimbursement can be strong for PPO plan holders, though Kaiser is an HMO and does not provide OON mental health benefits. Many California therapists operate successfully as OON providers given the state's high concentration of PPO plans.
Average Reimbursement Rates in California
OON reimbursement for CPT 90837 in California typically ranges from $120 to $200 depending on the plan and region. Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay Area plans tend to reimburse at the higher end due to higher benchmark rates. Clients should verify their out-of-network deductible and coinsurance percentage before starting treatment.
