Optimizing Your Medica Mental Health Coverage

Optimize your Medica mental health coverage by understanding the specifics of your plan, network benefits and covered services. This knowledge can help you minimize out-of-pocket treatment costs and access your plan’s best mental health services.

Details of Mental Health Services Coverage

Medica partners with a complete network of behavioral health clinicians, facilities and programs to provide comprehensive mental health coverage. Specific details vary, depending on the Medica plan, but commonly covered services include:

• Individual therapy
• Family and group therapy
• Diagnostic assessment
• Psychiatric evaluation
• Medication management
• Individual treatment planning
• Outpatient and inpatient programs

Many Medica mental health plans cover these services for mental health and substance use disorders. You can find specific services by reviewing your plan’s details or contacting Medica directly.

Restrictions or Conditions on Coverage

Many health insurance plans have restrictions or limitations on coverage. Conditions can vary, depending on your specific policy. Still, some Medica plans may limit the number of covered therapy sessions per year and require a primary care physician referral to approve treatment or initiate preauthorization requirements.

Differences in Coverage for Inpatient vs. Outpatient Services

Most Medica plans include benefits for inpatient and outpatient services, depending on your needs. However, coverage can vary widely between the two options. Inpatient services, which require residing at a facility, are typically more expensive because of their intensive nature and may have stricter requirements for approval.

Outpatient services, including therapy sessions, are more commonly covered. However, your plan may have limitations, like a set number of covered sessions per year.

Impact of Network Status on Coverage

Camelback Recovery is an in-network provider with Medica. This means we provide mental health services at a negotiated rate, offering lower out-of-pocket costs and enabling more people to access needed care. Out-of-network providers don’t have this agreement, and using them for services can result in higher out-of-pocket expenses. Remember that some Medica plans don’t cover out-of-network providers, making it imperative to review plan details before seeking treatment.
