Mental health insurance is often part of a more comprehensive health insurance plan that covers all or part of the cost of mental health care. The Axis Integrated Mental Health team calls insurance providers on a patient’s behalf to help them receive the most coverage possible. 

The practice is the only clinic in Colorado to offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-drug mental health treatment, to Medicaid patients. 

For all patients, the team works with their health plan provider to get coverage for TMS when possible.

Here is a glossary of basic insurance terms that may help you understand your mental health insurance benefits better.

Which conditions might mental health insurance cover for treatment?

Depending on your insurance plan and the type of coverage you have, it might cover treatments like therapy or TMS for the following conditions:

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Autism spectrum disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
• Eating disorder
• Anxiety disorder
• Depression
• Bipolar disorder
• Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
• Teenage depression 
• Grief
• Substance use disorder
• Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

The Axis Integrated Mental Health team calls your insurance provider to determine ways to receive maximum coverage with a minimal out-of-pocket cost to you. You may only have a copay for each treatment session or have to pay a negotiated fee.

What are the benefits of using mental health insurance coverage?

Having an insurance plan that covers mental health care is important for your overall health and well-being, as many people who would benefit from this type of care forgo it because of cost concerns. 

If you’re a candidate for Medicaid, you can also receive treatment at Axis Integrated Mental Health. The practice works with all types of insurance providers, so you don’t have to stress or break the bank to get help for a mental health concern that negatively affects your life.
