Ginger Virtual Behavioral Health Coaching and Mental Health Services

Cigna members have access to Ginger, a virtual, on-demand behavioral health coaching and peer support program. Behavioral health coaches, licensed therapists, and psychiatrists are available for plan members. These services are available as an in-network mental healthcare benefit.

Ginger offers members:

  • For Coaching: You pay the same cost share as you would for an office visit, but only once per 30 days. For example, if you have already met your deductible, you’d pay the in-network office visit amount listed in your plan benefit summary. This rate includes unlimited access to a coach, Ginger classes, and content via the app.
  • For Therapy and Psychiatry: These visits are billed based on the services rendered, just as if you were seeing a therapist in an office setting. Your cost share is the same as an in-network office visit listed in your medical plan benefit summary.

Download the Ginger emotional support app from your smartphone (Google Play or Apple App Store) to get started.
