The Mental Health and Substance Abuse Plan

The Mental Health and Substance Abuse Plan pays benefits for medically necessary inpatient and outpatient services to treat mental health and substance abuse problems. Benefits are outlined in the Summary of Benefits chart. You'll see that the most generous benefits are paid when you use Care Network to coordinate your care. The Care Network includes:
  • Mental health and substance abuse counselors
  • Psychologists and clinical workers
  • Psychiatrists
  • Residential treatment centers

To qualify for most benefits, your care must be approved and referred by Care Network before you receive services, except in the case of an emergency. If you or a family member needs help with a mental health or substance abuse problem, be sure to call the Care Network at 1-877-578-0528 before receiving services.
