What mental health services are covered under my plan?

Great West Health offers a variety of mental health services that are typically covered under their plans, although the specific coverage may vary based on the particular policy and individual circumstances. Generally, mental health services may include outpatient therapy, inpatient treatment, and access to psychological evaluations. Outpatient therapy often encompasses visits with licensed psychologists, counselors, or social workers for issues such as anxiety, depression, or stress management. Inpatient treatment programs, which are designed for individuals requiring more intensive support, may also be included. These would usually involve hospitalization for those in need of stabilization or a more comprehensive treatment approach. Additionally, preventive services, such as screenings for mental health conditions, may also be part of the coverage. It is important for individuals to review their specific plan documents for detailed information about their mental health coverage, including any limitations, copays, or prior authorization requirements. Furthermore, network providers and practitioners may also play a role in determining what services are accessible under the plan. For the most accurate and personalized information, individuals are encouraged to visit the official Great West Health website, where they can find guidance on benefits and access resources related to mental health services.
