What Cigna Covers for Psychiatric Care

Cigna treats mental health visits the same as any other specialist — that's mental health parity law, and Cigna follows it. So if your plan covers specialist visits, it covers psychiatric visits at the same rate. That typically means a $30–$60 copay per session, depending on your specific plan. Psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and telehealth psychiatry are all covered services under most Cigna plans. And you generally don't need a referral to book — most Cigna plans allow direct access to mental health providers.

Conditions Sindhia Treats at Elite Health LLC

Sindhia has nine years of focused psychiatric practice behind her. She works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and mood disorders. She's not going to hand you a diagnosis and a printout. She'll spend real time understanding your situation — what's been tried before, what hasn't worked, and what your day-to-day actually looks like. From there, a medication plan gets built around you, not a protocol chart.

Telehealth or In-Person — You Choose

Good news if you'd rather stay home: Cigna covers telehealth mental health visits in Connecticut at the same rate as in-person appointments. So a video visit with Sindhia costs you the same copay as walking into an office. That said, if you prefer face-to-face care, our New Britain location at 1 Liberty Sq, Suite 301 is straightforward to get to from Plainville. Either way, it's the same clinician, the same level of attention.
