Direct behavioral health fee schedule updates

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) has completed a review of our standard behavioral health fee schedules to ensure they meet the needs of our members, employer groups, and customers in this increasingly competitive and challenging environment. As a result, you will see the following modifications to our standard behavioral health fee schedules effective September 15, 2022:

 

• The behavioral health MD and PhD fee schedule WI378/WI381 will update rates
