How to Get the Most Out of Mental Health Services

• Write ideas down beforehand. This way you won’t forget them.
• Ask lots of questions. Especially if you don’t understand why you are being asked to talk about or do certain things.
• Go into your sessions with a positive attitude. Keeping an open mind and positive attitude helps you get the most out of your counseling sessions.
• Don’t be thrown off by note-taking. The mental health professional uses notes for remembering important points.
• Understand your confidentiality rights.

About Health Insurance and Mental/Behavioral Health Coverage

• The State of Michigan offers several medical assistance programs. Use MI Bridges to apply for assistance, check your eligibility status and manage your account. https://newmibridges.michigan.gov
• Medicaid and CHIP provide no-cost or low-cost health coverage for eligible children in Michigan. Call 1-888-988-6300 to talk to someone in Michigan or check out the state websites below. Medicaid/CHIP information in Michigan:
  • Healthy Kids Program Information
  • Apply for Healthy Kids
  • MIChild Program Information

About Health Insurance and Mental/Behavioral Health Coverage

• Guide to Using Employer-Sponsored Health Coverage and Employee Assistance Programs
  • Ask if your employer offers an Employee Assistance Program. Check with your Human Resources Department to see if your employer offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). EAPs offer confidential help to employees and/or their immediate family members in dealing with personal problems. If needed, your EAP Counselor will help you access your health insurance benefits and connect you to professionals that offer more specialized care.
  • Look on the back of your insurance card for a Customer Service number. Usually, this is a 1-800 number. The person who is the primary cardholder should call if possible. Information generally will not be given out to anyone else.
  • Ask to speak with Customer Service. You may have to provide your insurance number or other information to identify yourself, such as your (the primary cardholder’s) address, ZIP code, phone number, or social security number.
  • Ask that the representative tell you exactly what type of plan you have. For example, some individuals have Blue Cross Blue Shield, but the plan type may vary from person to person and from employer to employer (e.g., Community Blue, Blue Care Network, etc.).
  • Ask what your mental health benefits and what your co-pays are. Often carriers will pay a certain percentage, leaving you to pay the rest up front at the time of service (the co-pay). Also, different plans allow different amounts of service (# of sessions) per year, or there may be a deductible to be met out of pocket before the benefit will be covered.
  • Ask what services are covered, and what you need to do in order for them to be covered. As with physical health coverage, mental health coverage often requires a referral from an identified professional or will cover certain facilities instead of others. Be sure to ask: Do you need to be referred by your primary care doctor for mental health services to be covered? Does your insurance cover individual therapy? How many sessions? Do they cover emergency hospital stays or emergency mental health assessments (such as crisis services)? What facilities are covered?
  • Ask who the Preferred Providers or In-Network providers are. Some insurance plans will only cover certain professionals who have gone through a process to be registered with that particular insurance company or insurance plan. Some insurance plans have “preferred providers,” or “in-network” professionals, who have
    gone through this process and are registered, for whom the insurance company will cover more of the cost. They may also have “out-of-network” professionals, who are not registered with the insurance company. You may have to pay more out of pocket to see these individuals.
  • Ask for a list of these professionals. Ask the insurance company to send you a list by mail, or help you navigate their website to find an online list. Asking the customer service rep to do this with you while you are on the phone with them can be helpful. When you receive the list and choose a service provider, always call them directly and ask if they still take your insurance prior to setting up an appointment. Sometimes online lists of professionals covered by an insurance company are not up-to-date. The provider will know if they are still working with your insurance company.
  • Ask your provider what the co-pay is; if it is more than you can afford, ask your provider if they offer their fee on a “sliding scale” or a “time of service fee.”
  • Don’t give up! Be persistent. If you need assistance at any point, ask for help.

• Consider reaching out to another therapist
• Talk to your doctor
• Join a support group
• Reach out for peer support
• Access self-help resources
