Behavioral health
In a 2024 survey, 9 in 10 Americans said they believe the U.S. is in the midst of a mental health crisis.1 To help meet the demand for more behavioral health care, UnitedHealthcare advocates, clinicians and thousands of preferred providers nationwide are available to help guide employees every step of the way on their behavioral health journey with understanding, compassion and support.
The importance of quality behavioral care
A guided behavioral health care experience
Helping employees find the right care, more quickly
UnitedHealthcare provides employees with personalized support, including quality care, virtual services, mobile apps and more.
Supporting employees with behavioral health and physical health needs
Integrating benefits may help employees better manage comorbidity, which is when a person has 2 or more conditions at the same time. For instance, research suggests people with diabetes are 2–3 times more likely to experience depression while managing their illness.2

UnitedHealthcare's Behavioral Health Solutions provides employees with the support to meet their needs across multiple conditions, resulting in timely access to the right level of care.
