If you have one of our Medicare plans, this page will tell you how to get coverage for mental health care.
If you need to see a mental health specialist, we want to make sure the process is as easy as possible.
You don’t need a referral from your primary care physician if you’re a member of one of our BCN AdvantageSM HMO-POS or HMO plans.
Your visit will be covered with a copay if you have any of our Medicare Advantage plans. If you have Original Medicare, you’ll pay 20 percent of the cost for each visit. If you have a Medicare supplement plan, it might cover some of that cost.
If you’re struggling with a mental health issue or substance use disorder, you can call our help line.
