Understanding how your insurance works can feel overwhelming. That’s why we make it easier. If you’re insured through Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), you may have access to a wide range of our evidence-based services. This includes our highly effective TMS Therapy for depression and other mental health conditions.
We are here to help you explore how BCBS mental health coverage works at Shanti—and how we walk with you through every step of your recovery journey.
Why Insurance Matters in Recovery
One of the biggest barriers to mental health and addiction treatment is cost. Insurance providers like Blue Cross Blue Shield make care more accessible by covering services that would otherwise be unaffordable for many individuals and families. When you come to Shanti with BCBS, we help you navigate your coverage so that your focus stays on your healing.
Whether you’re coming in for addiction treatment, therapy for depression, or psychiatric evaluation, we coordinate directly with your insurance provider to determine what’s included and what steps need to be taken.
What is Covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield at Shanti?
Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the most widely accepted insurance providers in Oregon and across the country. Many BCBS plans offer coverage for:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Psychiatric evaluations and follow-ups
- Medication management
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
- Suboxone treatment for opioid use disorder
- Dual diagnosis support
- BCBS addiction treatment programs for drug and alcohol use

Each BCBS policy may differ in terms of copayments, deductibles, and prior authorization requirements. If you’re unsure about your benefits, our admin team is happy to review them with you and contact BCBS directly on your behalf.
Understanding The Mental Health Coverage
Mental health care has become more important and more talked about than ever before. BCBS provides extensive mental health benefits under most of its plans. Many BCBS members who come to Shanti are eligible for therapy sessions, psychiatric medication support, and other forms of outpatient care.
If you’re a BCBS member exploring BCBS mental health services, we can walk you through your options and help you start care without delay.
BCBS and TMS Therapy: A Non-Medication Option That Works
One of the most innovative services we offer at Shanti is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). For individuals experiencing treatment-resistant depression or other mental health challenges, TMS offers a breakthrough, non-invasive approach without the side effects often associated with medication.
We’ve helped countless clients access this cutting-edge therapy with little to no out-of-pocket cost through their BCBS plans. Whether you’ve tried medications in the past that haven’t worked or you’re seeking an alternative approach, TMS may be a good fit.
How BCBS Supports Addiction Recovery at Shanti
Addiction recovery looks different for everyone. Whether you’re dealing with alcohol misuse, opioid dependence, or long-standing patterns that are hard to break, the support system you choose makes a difference. At Shanti, we believe addiction isn’t a moral failing; it’s a health condition. And like any health condition, it deserves care, attention, and respect.
Many plans include BCBS addiction treatment coverage for outpatient care, including:
- Suboxone maintenance and induction
- Counseling and behavioral therapy
- Psychiatric services for co-occurring conditions
- Harm-reduction-focused support
We understand the shame and stigma that often keep people from seeking help. Our team provides compassionate, non-punitive care in a warm, judgment-free environment. With BCBS insurance, this care is often more within reach than you think.
We Treat the Whole System
Mental health and addiction don’t exist in isolation. Their effects touch families, workplaces, and entire communities. That’s why we offer psychiatric services not just for adults, but for adolescents and their caregivers as well.
BCBS mental health policies often cover adolescent psychiatry, allowing younger individuals to access early intervention services that can change the course of their lives. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, or experimentation with substances, we provide support that meets them where they are.
Adults have access to a full range of services, including medication management and BCBS TMS therapy sessions. Families also benefit through education, support groups, and guidance on becoming strong allies in recovery.
Your Treatment Team is Here to Help
You don’t need to be an insurance expert to get help. That’s our job. We understand that policy language can be hard to make sense of, and we don’t expect you to figure it all out on your own.
When you reach out to Shanti, our team will verify your BCBS benefits and explain your coverage in clear, simple terms. If prior authorizations are required, we’ll help take care of them. We also outline any potential costs up front so there are no surprises along the way. From intake to ongoing care, you’ll have guidance and support at every step.
We’ll do the legwork so you can focus on what matters—feeling better.
