Yes, MJB Holistic & Therapeutic Services accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield for psychiatric care, medication management, ADHD testing, and pharmacogenetic testing across Maryland.
In Maryland, this commonly refers to CareFirst BCBS plans and the BCBS Federal Employee Program (FEP). Out-of-state Blue Cross plans may also be accepted depending on the BlueCard PPO network — verify benefits before scheduling.
Care is delivered by Melveena Johnson-Bolden, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner — via secure telehealth across Maryland and at our in-person office in Upper Marlboro, MD.

Frequently Asked Questions — Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) members
Do I need a referral to see a PMHNP-BC at MJB Holistic?
Most Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plans do not require a referral to see a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for outpatient mental health care. Your specific plan may differ — we'll verify before your first appointment.
Will Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) cover telehealth psychiatry visits?
Most Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plans cover telehealth psychiatry on the same terms as in-person visits. We'll confirm your specific telehealth coverage during benefits verification.
What if my Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plan isn't accepted?
If your plan turns out to be one we can't accept, we'll let you know during benefits verification — before any visit, before any charges. You can either pay out of pocket (we offer a sliding-scale option) or we can refer you to other providers in your network.
How long does benefits verification take?
Usually one to two business days. Once verified, we'll walk you through your expected costs and schedule your first appointment.
Are mental health visits confidential?
Yes. All clinical visits and records are protected by HIPAA. Insurance claims include diagnosis codes per standard medical billing — but visit content stays between you and your provider.
