Changes for 2008
New Behavioral Health Benefits Provider
The University will invest more funding in and attention to the
growing need for quality behavioral health service and care in
2008 by standardizing and improving the delivery of UC mental health
and substance abuse benefits.
Behavioral health benefits for employees will be provided by United
Behavioral Health (UBH) starting next year for Health Net, CIGNA
Choice Fund, and Western Health Advantage. UBH will continue to
provide benefits for the Blue Cross PLUS (in-network only) and
Blue Cross PPO plans. Kaiser members will continue to have access
to Kaiser's integrated behavioral health services as before - but
in 2008, they also will have the option to access the UBH services
and network that apply to the other plans.
The first three in-network outpatient mental health visits will be covered with
no co-payment required under UBH. For more information see:
