What is behavioral health?
Behavioral health services promote emotional and mental wellness. Behavioral health support consists of many different services depending on your needs. With support, you can work through anxiety or depression, life changes like divorce, death in the family, or parenting challenges. Also, behavioral health services can help with identifying and treating substance abuse and addiction. Before you schedule a visit to a therapist or counselor or check in to an inpatient mental health/substance treatment facility, call the number on the back of your member ID and speak to a customer service representative about your coverage.New Directions
