Oxford Health Plans and its coverage


Oxford Health Plans was founded in 1984 by Stephen F. Wiggins before joining UnitedHealthcare in 2004. They offer affordable health insurance plans to around 1.6 million individuals, families, and employers in several eastern US states, including Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. They are well-known for their Point of Service (POS) and Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans. They are associated with about 73,000 physicians and 104,000 care locations. 


Does UnitedHealthcare cover mental health care?


UnitedHealthcare recognizes the importance of mental well-being in maintaining health and happiness for life. They offer mental and behavioral health programs and valuable resources to help individuals overcome challenges and improve their quality of life. The extent of insurance coverage will vary depending on your chosen health plan and its benefits. It is a good idea to sign in to your health plan account or call the number provided on the member ID card to determine your eligibility for mental health services. 


Different mental health programs offered by UnitedHealthcare


UnitedHealthcare provides access to various mental health services, including therapy, counseling, and self-help tools. Members can connect with licensed professionals, such as therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists, for personalized care. Programs include virtual and in-person therapy sessions, ensuring accessibility and convenience. Support group options and self-help plans also empower members to create lifestyle strategies focusing on wellness through diet, exercise, and sleep management.

Different behavioral health resources offered by UnitedHealthcare


UnitedHealthcare offers comprehensive resources to assist doctors in screening and managing behavioral health conditions, including depression, ADHD, and substance misuse. Early detection and treatment are emphasized to encourage behavioral change and improve patient outcomes.


Screening Tools

Doctors tend to use these evidence-based tools as recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force:

  • Depression: The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) aids in diagnosing and monitoring depression across various languages, with accessible scoring instructions.
  • ADHD: The Vanderbilt Assessment Scales support ADHD diagnosis in children aged 6-12, while CHADD offers education and advocacy resources for individuals with ADHD.
  • Alcohol and Substance Misuse: Tools like AUDIT and CAGE screen for alcohol use, while the CRAFFT and NIDA tools assist in identifying substance use disorders in adolescents and adults.


United Behavioral Health support

United Behavioral Health provides additional resources for managing depression, ADHD, and substance use disorders. These include access to the screening tools mentioned, which are offered free to primary care providers. This support ensures effective care delivery and enhances providers' ability to address diverse behavioral health needs.


How does a health insurance plan work? Breaking down the essential jargon


You may encounter many confusing insurance jargon if you are new to health plans. While navigating through them may seem like a task initially, learning about them in detail is crucial as they ultimately play a significant role in your budget. Following are some of these important terminologies you should know before deciding on an insurance plan: 

  • Premium: Premium refers to the monthly payment you must make to keep your health plan active and stay covered. 
  • Deductible: The amount you must pay out-of-pocket for medical care is a deductible. Most plans require you to pay a deductible up to a predetermined annual amount before you can receive care. Your insurance plan starts paying once you reach that limit. For instance, if your insurance covers 70% of your medical expenses, you will pay a deductible for the remaining 30%.
  • Copays: It refers to the fixed amount you need to pay for specific covered healthcare services. 
  • Out-of-pocket maximum: It is the maximum amount you have to pay in a year for your covered services, including deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. Once you reach that limit, your health plan will start paying 100% of the covered costs. 


Top 5 frequently asked questions about therapists and the therapy process


If you are unfamiliar with therapy, you probably have many queries in mind. Below, we have answered five such common questions: 

Who are therapists? 

Therapists, also known as psychotherapists or counselors, are mental health professionals qualified to help individuals overcome emotional, behavioral, and mental health problems using talk therapy. Some of these issues include anxiety, depression, hyperactivity disorder, relationship conflicts, substance abuse, chronic stress, grief, trauma, and more. 

What are the signs you should see a therapist?

You can consider seeing a UnitedHealthcare therapist near you for a range of concerns, such as: 

  • You feel overwhelmed most of the time.
  • You experience anger or emotional outbursts. 
  • You tend to overthink.
  • You have lost interest in daily activities, work, and hobbies. 
  • You have thoughts of self-harm or suicide. 
  • You have withdrawn yourself from social activities. 
  • You need help coping with the loss of a loved one, a traumatic event, or significant life transitions.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your therapist will begin the appointment by listening to your concerns and conducting comprehensive psychological evaluations to understand your condition correctly. They will also ask about your goals and expectations from therapy. Finally, they will prepare a treatment plan tailored to your unique situation, answer your queries, and schedule the next session. 

How long does a therapy session last?

You can expect your therapy session to last 45 minutes to an hour. 

When would you see results in therapy?

There is no straightforward answer to this question, as everyone's response to therapy is different. Some people may experience progress within a few sessions, while others may need a couple of years for positive, lasting results. Trusting your therapist and being patient throughout the therapy process is essential.
