Anthem Psychiatrist Serving Hartford, CT

If you have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and you've been looking for a psychiatrist in Hartford, you don't have to keep searching. Sindhia Shyras, APRN — a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with nine years of experience — is in-network with Anthem and accepting new patients across Connecticut. Hartford's a demanding city, and mental health care should be one thing you don't have to fight to access. Whether your concern is depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or something you're still trying to name, Sindhia offers real evaluations and medication management you can count on.

In-Network With Anthem — What That Means for You

Being in-network with Anthem means your visits are billed at the contracted rate — so you pay your plan's copay or coinsurance rather than an out-of-network rate that can be three or four times higher. Most Hartford-area Anthem PPO and EPO members can book directly without a PCP referral. If you're on an Anthem HMO plan like Pathway X, you may need a referral first — worth a quick call to member services to confirm. Typical copays for specialist visits run $20–$60 depending on your specific plan and whether your deductible has been met.

Telehealth Psychiatry for Anthem Members Statewide

Hartford residents are busy — and getting across the city for an appointment isn't always realistic. Most Anthem CT plans cover telehealth psychiatry at the same rate as an in-person visit. That means you can meet with Sindhia by video from your home, your car, or anywhere else in Connecticut. She handles the prior authorization paperwork if your Anthem plan requires it for ongoing medication management — you won't be left to figure that out alone. And if you need to be seen in person, the New Britain office is just a short drive down I-84.
