Tips for using mental health insurance benefits
Before using your mental health insurance benefits, we recommend that you take the following actions:
Call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card
Ask for a list of mental health providers in your area; you may request male or female providers as well.
Ask about specific coverage (number of sessions, co-pay, and how much insurance will pay).
Your family doctor is another resource you can use to find mental health provider. Ask them for a referral or name(s) of providers to consider.
