Does UnitedHealthcare Cover Medication?
While our therapists are in network with 유나이티드헬스케어, our psychiatric nurse practitioner provides medication management as an out-of-network service.
If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement after your deductible, copay, or coinsurance has been applied. If your plan does not include out-of-network benefits, you will be responsible for the full session fee.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, our Care Coordinator can help you understand your benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does UnitedHealthcare cover therapy?
Many UnitedHealthcare plans include coverage for outpatient psychotherapy with in-network providers. Coverage varies depending on your specific plan, deductible, and cost-sharing requirements.
Why does my UnitedHealthcare card mention Optum?
That happens because your medical insurance provider is UnitedHealthcare, but mental health benefits are administered by 옵텀 or another provider. Our practice is in-network with UHC as well as Optum.
Can I switch therapists and still use my UnitedHealthcare insurance?
Yes. All therapists within our practice are covered UnitedHealthcare, you can generally continue using your insurance benefits without interruption.
What happens if my employer changes my UnitedHealthcare plan?
Employer-sponsored health plans can change from year to year, even if you remain with UnitedHealthcare. If your plan changes, let us know as soon as possible. We’ll verify your updated benefits and explain any changes to your coverage before future appointments.
Does UnitedHealthcare cover long-term psychotherapy?
Yes. UnitedHealthcare plans generally support both short-term and longer-term psychotherapy based on medical necessity. Coverage doesn’t reset simply because you’ve been in therapy a while — how long you continue depends on your clinical needs and your plan’s benefit year.
Can I continue therapy if I move out of state?
It depends on your new state and whether your therapist is licensed there. Let us know as soon as you’re planning a move so we can confirm whether telehealth is still an option and re-verify your UnitedHealthcare benefits under your new circumstances.
