What Is Behavioral Health?
Behavioral health includes care for your emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects how you think, feel and act—and how you manage stress, relate to others and make everyday decisions. Getting support when you need it can make a big difference in your quality of life.
Coverage You Can Count On
Depending on the plan, your Medicare Advantage behavioral health benefits may include:
- Outpatient counseling and therapy services
- Treatment for anxiety, depression or substance use disorders
- Psychiatric evaluations and mental health screenings
- Telehealth visits with licensed behavioral health professionals
- Access to social workers, care managers or behavioral health specialists
Many plans also offer wellness programs, fitness memberships and other tools to help you manage stress and stay active.
When Should You Consider Behavioral Health Support?
It’s always okay to ask for help. You may benefit from talking to a professional if you:
- Feel anxious, down or overwhelmed
- Have trouble sleeping or managing daily tasks
- Are coping with grief, trauma or major life changes
- Are managing a chronic illness that affects your mood or outlook
- Are concerned about substance use or memory changes
Behavioral health care is just as important as any other part of your care. With the right support, you can feel more in control and more connected to the life you want to live.
