Is UnitedHealthcare / Optum accepted at Heartland Psychiatry & Wellness?
UnitedHealthcare behavioral health benefits are typically administered by Optum (also known as United Behavioral Health), and your specific plan determines your copay, coinsurance, and deductible. We verify your benefits before your first appointment so you know what to expect.
Behavioral health benefits work a little differently from one plan to the next. Some plans apply a flat copay to each telehealth psychiatry visit, while others apply your visits toward a deductible first. To take the guesswork out of it, we check your UnitedHealthcare / Optum behavioral health benefits in advance and explain your expected cost before you are seen.
