*If the member’s Blue Shield of California’s Evidence of Coverage or Certificate of Insurance states that mental health services are available through the Mental Health Service Administrator (MHSA), the member can search for providers in the MHSA network.

Some Blue Shield of California members may only have access to Blue Shield’s direct network. If you are not sure which network provides behavioral health services for your patient, direct the patient to visit Blue Shield’s Find a Doctor website and log in, and choose “Mental Health Providers” to find a behavioral health provider. Members who are not sure which network they should access for in-network care can call the Mental Health Customer Services phone number on the back of their member ID card.
