Behavioral health (also known as mental health) is as important as physical health. That’s why we have coverage for both.

Required care is covered 100% with no copay, including testing and diagnosis, behavioral therapy and medication.

Behavioral health services can help you with personal problems that may affect you and/or your family. Whether it’s stress, depression, anxiety or using drugs or alcohol, we can help.

Call 911 if you are in danger or need immediate medical attention. Call the Behavioral Health Crisis Line at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 1-855-789-1977

You’re always covered for a behavioral health emergency. An emergency means a behavioral health condition that comes on suddenly, is life threatening, is painful, or other severe symptoms that cannot wait to be treated. You may have a mental health, drug, or alcohol use emergency.

Emergency services are covered anywhere in the United States. If you think you have a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital location where emergency providers can help you.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, call the Behavioral Health Crisis line at 1-855-789-1977.
