Mental Health Care

PHC covers the treatment of mild to moderate mental health conditions, which includes:

• Individual and group mental health testing and treatment (psychotherapy);

• Psychological testing to evaluate a mental health condition;

• Outpatient services that include lab work, drugs, and supplies;

• Outpatient services to monitor drug therapy; and

• Psychiatric consultation

Moderate and severe mental health needs are covered by your home county’s Mental Health Plan. See Section 6 in your Handbook to learn more about your Mental Health benefits.

You should talk to your PCP or Carelon if you have questions about Mental Health. Your PCP or Beacon can arrange for medically necessary mental health care. Your PCP can provide some mental health care within their scope of practice, and Beacon can help you find a mental health provider near you.

PHC and Carelon work with county Mental Health Plans to coordinate your care. 

PHC or State Medi-Cal will cover drugs you need for your mental health condition. See Section 11 in your Handbook for information on how to fill a prescription.

Upon request, a detailed invoice (called a “superbill”) can be provided to you. It contains all the information that most insurance companies require to submit a claim for reimbursement. If your insurance company requires a specific form, please have it available for your provider to complete. Once you have your documentation, you can then submit it to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Please note that superbills do not guarantee reimbursement, and that each insurance plan acts according to the individual policy established between the client and the insurance company.
