Behavioral health and Optum

On many UnitedHealthcare plans, mental health benefits are managed by Optum, so the phone number for behavioral health may be different from the main number on your card. The same five clinicians accept Optum.

Therapy: Yes, with the five clinicians above
Medication management: Private pay

Families on one plan

When a parent and a teen both want support, it helps that every UnitedHealthcare clinician here sees teens and adults. A teen can see Torresy Smith or Dr. Martinez while a parent sees Maggie Johnson, and Michelle Mitchell can bring the family together for joint sessions when that would help. With written permission, the clinicians can coordinate so everyone is working toward the same goals.
