Premera
Our therapists at Self and Other are in network with some Premera plans and can bill Premera directly when your plan includes applicable mental health benefits.
A Washington plan, close to home
For many people in Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, and elsewhere around Puget Sound, Premera is the Blue Cross name that feels most familiar. It is closely associated with Washington State, so clients looking for local therapy coverage are often trying to find a practice that can work smoothly with a Premera plan.
A familiar card in the Seattle area
Premera has a strong local presence, which is one reason it appears so often in conversations about coverage on the Eastside and in Seattle. For example, Microsoft's Health Connect Plan uses Premera Blue Cross for eligible employees in King and Snohomish counties, though benefits still vary by the specific plan.
Using your Premera benefits with us
Self and Other offers in-person therapy in Seattle and online therapy across Washington. If your plan is out of network, we can provide a monthly superbill for possible reimbursement, but the amount covered depends on your particular Premera plan and behavioral health benefits.
