Coverage FAQs for Kaiser and Additional Insurers

Do you accept Kaiser insurance for therapy in Denver?

Yes! Nearly all of our therapists accept Kaiser Permanente insurance, and other insurance plans, for mental health services in Colorado. We offer in-person and telehealth therapy sessions. To schedule an appointment or verify coverage, call 303-848-3358 or visit our Kaiser providers page.

Do I need a referral from Kaiser to start therapy?

Our in-network providers do not require a referral or prior authorization to see Kaiser Permanente patients with Colorado-based plans. Patients with out-of-state plans and some psychiatric services may require a prior authorization. If one is needed, our team can request one on your behalf to make the process as easy as possible for you. If you have any questions about your coverage, please contact our team at info@westsidebehavioral.com for assistance.

Can I choose my therapist at Westside Behavioral Care?

Of course! You can browse our Kaiser provider profiles accepting new patients here. Our team is also available to help you find a therapist who meets your needs, insurance, and location. Feel free to call 303-848-3358 for phone assistance, email us at info@westsidebehavioral.com, or submit a contact form to connect with us.
