New Octave Behavioral Health for Non-Kaiser Members
Anthem Blue Cross is offering Octave Behavioral Health as a new service provider offering over 150 in-network therapists and mental health providers for all Anthem and Health Net/MHN plan members across California. Octave offers greater flexibility and a wider range of available in-network counselors; eliminating the extra expense involved with seeking services from out-of-network providers due to the growing issue with limited clinical services.
