Provider Resources

Beacon Health Options is strongly committed to our members, clients and providers to ensure that mental health needs are being met during this stressful time.

We recognize that many of our members and providers are being encouraged or mandated to stay at home in order to prevent community spread of coronavirus.  When clinically appropriate, telehealth can be an effective way for members to begin or continue their care through a mental health provider safely from their homes via phone, tablet or computer-enabled web cam. 

The policy changes contained in these documents are intended to apply to most of our members and plans and offer general guidance only. Not all health plans have adopted the leniencies we describe (especially with respect to certain commercial, Medicaid and employer plans). If you are unsure of coverage please contact the National Provider Service Line at 800-397-1630.

Please note that since this is a rapidly evolving situation, any new state and federal mandates will override any guidance we have provided.
