Emotional well-being support

Whether you’re in a time of greater need or want to work on personal growth, you can get connected to self-help digital tools, in-person or virtual behavioral health providers and more.

These resources and programs are designed to help with a variety of concerns from depression and anxiety to mental health and substance disorder services.

Virtual emotional support

Reaching out for help may be easier from the privacy of your home. Using your computer or phone*, access confidential counseling from a licensed therapist for conditions like ADD/ADHD, anxiety, mental health disorders, addiction and depression.

Includes:

  • Private video session
  • Support for adults, children, and teens, including diagnosis, treatment, and medication, if necessary
  • The same standard of care as in-person visits, allowing you to maintain a consistent relationship with your therapist

 

A simpler claims process

If you are covered by both a UnitedHealthcare medical plan and a supplemental health plan – such as Accident, Critical Illness and/or Hospital Indemnity – Benefit Assist is available to you. Included in your plan at no additional cost, the program is designed to help streamline the claims process and make sure you get the benefits you re eligible for – and get them more easily.

Here’s how:

  • A Benefit Assistant proactively looks for eligible medical claims that qualify for a claim payment.
  • When they find a claim, they will reach out to you personally to help submit the claim quickly and accurately- some may be paid automatically.

Spine and joint support

If you’re experiencing spine or joint pain, our dedicated orthopedic nurse team helps you find quality care so that you can get back to your favorite activities.

They can help you:

  • Connect with high-quality providers
  • Learn more about your diagnosis and treatment options
  • Understand costs, your benefits and potential savings
  • Manage pain
  • Prepare for surgery and recovery, if needed

Keeping care on track

Preventive care - such as routine annual checkups and certain recommended screenings and immunizations - is covered by most UnitedHealthcare plans for $0 out-of-pocket when you see network providers. A preventive care visit may be a good time to help establish your relationship with your primary care provider. It can also help you manage your health and create a connection for future medical services.
