When mental health care is talked about, the cost is often the most biggest concern. People often wonder if their insurance will cover at least part of the expenses. This question is very crucial for those who have conditions, for example, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Luckily, insurance-covered treatment for OCD in California is not only feasible – it is still much more convenient than what people imagine.
We will look at the basic things you need to know about insurance coverage for mental health treatment at the Anxiety Relief Clinic and the easiest way to get started.
Insurance Plans We Accept
Aetna (California, Colorado, Florida, New York, and Washington)
If you are a resident of California and have Aetna insurance, the Anxiety Relief Clinic is in-network for you. The majority of patients usually pay only a small co-pay ($20–$40) after their deductible has been fulfilled. Alma or Headway, our partners, will be there to verify the benefits you have before your appointment, ensuring everything is clear to you.
Anthem BlueCross, Optum, or United Healthcare (California Only)
The residents of California can also consider these plans in-network. In case you are residing somewhere in Colorado, Florida, or New York and have one of these plans with a PPO option, you may still be able to use your out-of-network benefits.
If you are unsure whether your plan qualifies, please fill out the clinic’s eligibility form, and we will provide a quote before scheduling an appointment.
Other PPO Insurance Plans
Even if your plan is not listed but is a PPO, you can still try your luck. In the absence of any doubt that the clinic is out of the network, you may receive reimbursement of 40% to 80% of visit costs after covering the deductible.
We want to let you in on a secret: we’ve joined forces with Thrizer to make this process smooth and easy.
They’ll take care of going through your benefits and submitting reimbursement claims to you while you sit back and enjoy. This service also includes access to the Reimbursify support team at no extra cost.
HMO or EPO Plans / Private Pay
Our out-of-network private pay rates apply if you have an HMO or EPO plan that does not provide out-of-network benefits or if you decide not to use insurance. At the moment, our private pay rates are $500 for your first intake appointment and $300 for follow-up visits. You can see all the pricing information in our clinic consent forms.
What You Can Expect From Treatment
At the Anxiety Relief Clinic, we unite years of clinical experience with the latest research to give highly effective, personalized care. This is how a standard course of treatment is:
Initial Assessment (50mins): This session involves completing pre-questionnaires, discussing your problems in detail, and, if agreed upon by both you and the doctor, initiating medication.
Follow-Up Sessions (25mins): Progress is monitored, treatment is changed if necessary, and support is provided, taking place every 1 to 3 months.
Quick Issue Visits (10 mins): They are offered every day and can be used for quick questions, refills, or filling out a short form.
Medication & Therapy: We go through all possible options, including prescription drugs, a change of lifestyle, and asking therapists for further help if needed.
Time scheduling is comfortable, and you can change appointments whenever it is more convenient for you. You will gain direct access to our online calendar and can pick out any free appointment that suits your schedule.

Finding insurance-funded treatment for OCD in California that fits your schedule and needs can be a breeze. If you’ve just been diagnosed or if you’re searching for different treatment options, knowing what your insurance plan covers is the most crucial step.
We at the Anxiety Relief Clinic have made it easy for you.
