UnitedHealthcare covers behavioral health as part of your medical plan. Because I'm directly in-network in Utah, my office handles billing to UHC directly. You pay your copay per session and nothing else appears on your bill.

A little about how I work

Most of the people I work with are not in crisis. They're a lot more ordinary than that. They're carrying work stress that's leaked into everything else. They're drinking a little more than they used to. They're arguing about the same thing with their spouse for the third year running. They're not sleeping well. They've got a kid they don't know how to help.

I've spent years in mental health settings ranging from outpatient private practice to adolescent residential treatment. I know what real distress looks like. I also know what "life is grinding me down and I don't know why" looks like. Both are worth taking seriously. More about me →

Common Questions

Questions about UnitedHealthcare and therapy

Yes. I'm directly in-network with UnitedHealthcare in Utah for behavioral health. Sessions are billed at your standard UHC behavioral health copay, typically $5 to $50.

Most UHC plans set behavioral health copays between $5 and $50. High-deductible plans require you to meet the deductible first, after which you pay coinsurance. Confirm your specific benefits by logging into myuhc.com or calling the member services number on your card.

For most UHC plans, no. Behavioral health self-referral is standard. Some HMO plans may require a referral, so check your specific plan.

Yes. UnitedHealthcare covers telehealth behavioral health at parity with in-person visits.

All three are part of the same parent company. UnitedHealthcare is the primary insurance brand. Optum manages behavioral health provider networks. UMR is the third-party administrator that handles claims for self-funded employer plans. I'm in-network with all three, so however you receive your benefits, coverage works the same.
