Our Treatment Programs That Are In-Network With United Healthcare

We are proud to be in-network with United Healthcare, making it easier for individuals and families to access high-quality mental health care. No matter the mental health challenges you may be facing, our programs are designed to meet a range of needs and intensity levels. Being in-network means many of our services are covered under your existing insurance plan, reducing financial barriers and streamlining the path to care. Outlined below are the levels of care we offer. 

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our PHP is a structured, full-day program that offers intensive support for individuals who need more than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require 24/7 inpatient care. This level of treatment includes daily group therapy, individual sessions, psychiatric care, and holistic support, helping clients stabilize and build coping skills in a safe, nurturing environment.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our IOP offers a flexible, yet focused level of care for those transitioning from higher levels of treatment or needing more support than standard therapy can provide. Clients attend programming several days a week for a few hours at a time. This allows them to continue participating in group therapy, individual counseling, and skills-based workshops—while still maintaining school, work, or family responsibilities.

Outpatient Program (OP)

Our traditional outpatient program provides ongoing therapeutic support through weekly sessions tailored to each client’s needs. This level of care is ideal for those with a firm foothold in recovery. Clients in our OP are able to assimilate back into their daily lives while applying the coping skills they have learned in treatment. 

How Much Will My Out-of-Pocket Cost Be?

Your out-of-pocket cost with United Healthcare depends on your specific plan, including your deductible, copays, and level of care. The cost can also vary depending on the level of care you receive and whether the provider is in-network. To get an accurate estimate, it is best to log into your United Healthcare member account or speak with a representative directly. Our admissions team can also help verify your benefits and provide a clear breakdown of what you can expect to pay.

How Do I Determine My Coverage Options?

To determine your mental health coverage through United Healthcare, the first step is to review the details of your specific plan. You can do this by logging into your United Healthcare member portal, where you will find information about in-network providers, covered services, and any copays or deductibles that apply. Additionally, you can call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card and speak directly with a representative who can explain your benefits in detail. They can help clarify what types of mental health treatment are covered, whether prior authorization is required, and what your out-of-pocket costs might be. As previously mentioned, we at North Atlanta Behavioral Health can also assist with verifying your coverage and walking you through the next steps in getting started.
