Social stigma, personal feelings of fear and shame, limited access to care, and reluctance to seek help are common barriers to receiving mental health treatment. For many, financial limitations and the cost of treatment are the biggest hindrances to getting the treatment they need and deserve. Mental health disorders require treatment just like any physical illness does. At Beyond Healthcare, we help clients overcome the barrier of paying for treatment by working closely with the insurances we accept to help make mental health treatment more accessible.
Understanding your insurance coverage can be complicated, especially if your adolescent is in a mental health crisis. Aetna is one of the oldest and largest insurance companies, providing coverage for millions. If you are unsure about what treatment your Aetna plan covers, we can help. Our intake specialists are well versed in working with Aetna to determine your level of coverage and allow your focus to remain on your adolescent. Contact the Beyond Healthcare team now by calling 833.698.0453.
Understanding Mental Health Insurance Coverage
All health insurance providers are required to provide coverage for mental and behavioral health, as required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2008. This requirement goes further than just mandating coverage.
Before the ACA, many insurance providers imposed limits on access to mental health care that was more restrictive than physical health care. Parity laws are federal and state regulations that remove these limits by requiring that insurance companies cover mental health and substance use at the same level as physical health needs. If you have a condition that has an official diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), your insurance provider must offer coverage.
With this required coverage, your insurance may help cover the costs associated with numerous aspects of mental health treatment. At Beyond Healthcare, our team will work with Aetna to get the most coverage for your adolescent’s and family’s mental health needs. Beyond Healthcare in Toledo, Ohio, is proud to offer mental health services to all families in need. In addition to Aetna, we accept all Ohio Medicaid plans and private insurances, including, but not limited to:
- Anthem/Anthem Coventry
