Does United HealthCare Cover Mental Health Programs Like PHP and IOP?

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
PHP offers structured, intensive care for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require 24/7 hospitalization. Patients attend therapy sessions during the day and return home in the evenings. UHC typically covers PHP as part of its behavioral health benefits, though exact coverage depends on your plan.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
IOP involves multiple therapy sessions each week, allowing individuals to receive focused mental health care while continuing to live at home. UHC generally covers IOP under its mental health benefits. It’s a valuable option for those needing more support than weekly therapy sessions can provide.

What Mental Health Conditions Does United HealthCare Cover?

UHC provides coverage for a broad range of mental health diagnoses, including but not limited to:

Depression
Anxiety disorders
Bipolar disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder

Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
Eating disorders
Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders

Each condition is approached with a personalized treatment plan aimed at long-term stability and improved quality of life.

Does United HealthCare Cover Co-Occurring Disorders?

Yes, United HealthCare health insurance often covers integrated treatment for individuals dealing with both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder. Known as co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis, this type of treatment is essential for those who need simultaneous care for both conditions.

At Greater Boston Behavioral Health, our clinical team is trained in dual diagnosis treatment and can help you navigate your insurance coverage to ensure you receive the most effective care.

How Much Does United HealthCare Cover for Mental Health Treatment?

The amount UHC covers for mental health treatment depends on your individual plan, location, and provider network. Typically, UHC plans cover a portion of treatment costs, but you may still be responsible for:

Copayments or coinsurance
Deductibles
Out-of-pocket maximums
Prior authorizations or referrals

To get a clear understanding of your mental health coverage with UHC, contact your insurance provider directly—or call us at Greater Boston Behavioral Health for help verifying your benefits and estimating potential costs.
