Therapy or Medication? What Horizon BCBS & Aetna Cover—and How Cedarview Helps You Decide

When you’re ready to get help for anxiety, depression, or ADHD, one big question often comes up: Do I need therapy, medication, or both?

The truth is, everyone’s mental health journey is different. At Cedarview Health, we help you explore your options, explain what your insurance covers, and develop a care plan that actually works for you—not just on paper, but in real life.

🧠 How Do I Know What I Need?

  • Therapy is often the first step for people seeking support with emotional challenges, trauma, relationship issues, or stress.

  • Medication may be recommended when symptoms significantly impact your daily functioning, or when therapy alone isn’t enough.

  • Combined care (therapy + medication) is often most effective for conditions like moderate to severe depression, anxiety, or ADHD.

At Cedarview Health, we offer both therapy and psychiatric care under one virtual roof. That means we can help you make the best decision for you—and adjust your treatment as your needs evolve.

✅ What Horizon BCBS & Aetna Cover

Both Horizon BCBS and Aetna typically cover:

  • Individual therapy

  • Couples counseling

  • Psychiatric evaluations

  • Medication management

  • Follow-up sessions for both therapy and psychiatry

We’re in-network with both plans and handle benefit verification for you. If you’re unsure what your policy includes, our team will walk you through it step-by-step—no surprise bills, no confusing jargon.
