What Is Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (BCBSAZ)?
BCBSAZ is one of Arizona’s largest and most comprehensive health insurance providers. Offering a wide range of HMO, PPO, and EPO plans, BCBSAZ provides coverage for both physical and mental health services.
If you have a BCBSAZ insurance card, you may be eligible for coverage of advanced mental health treatments—often with little or no out-of-pocket cost depending on your plan.
Bella Vida TMS is proud to be in-network with many BCBSAZ plans. Our team is happy to verify your insurance benefits and explain exactly what’s covered before you begin treatment.
Treatments Covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona at Bella Vida TMS
1. TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for major depressive disorder, especially when traditional antidepressants have failed. It works by using magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain associated with mood regulation.
✅ BCBSAZ typically covers TMS therapy when patients meet medical necessity criteria, including a documented history of medication-resistant depression.
At Bella Vida TMS, we handle all prior authorizations and paperwork so you can focus on healing.
2. Spravato® (Esketamine Nasal Spray)
Spravato® is a prescription nasal spray approved for treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts. Unlike traditional medications, Spravato acts on the glutamate system and is administered in a controlled clinical setting.
✅ BCBSAZ covers Spravato for qualifying patients, though prior authorization is usually required. Coverage may depend on diagnosis, previous treatment history, and medical necessity.
Our clinic is REMS-certified to administer Spravato safely and in compliance with federal guidelines.
3. Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Though IV ketamine therapy is not yet FDA-approved for depression, it has shown powerful results in relieving symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.
🟡 Coverage varies for ketamine therapy. While BCBSAZ may not cover IV ketamine in most cases, some plans may offer partial reimbursement or out-of-network benefits.
Our team can review your plan and explore options to reduce your costs. We also offer self-pay plans for those not eligible for insurance reimbursement.
4. Talk Therapy
Many patients benefit from traditional talk therapy in addition to TMS or medication-assisted treatments. At Bella Vida TMS, we offer individual and family counseling through licensed therapists who understand complex mental health challenges.
✅ Talk therapy is covered under most BCBSAZ behavioral health plans, whether through PPO or HMO networks. If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, we’ll verify for you.
5. Medication Management
Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) provide medication management services to monitor and adjust your treatment plan as needed. This can be especially important when combining pharmacological approaches with TMS or Spravato.
✅ Medication management is typically covered as a specialist visit under most BCBSAZ plans.
