Using Optum for Addiction Treatment
Optum is UnitedHealth Group's behavioral health management subsidiary and one of the largest behavioral health organizations in the country. Optum manages mental health and substance abuse benefits for many UnitedHealthcare plans as well as other employer-sponsored insurance. Trust SoCal regularly works with Optum to secure authorization for addiction treatment.
Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, insurance providers are required to cover substance abuse treatment at the same level as medical and surgical care. Our admissions team works directly with Optum to verify your benefits and maximize your coverage.
