Mental Health Coverage

Enrollees are eligible to receive short-term counseling at Student Health and Counseling Services each academic year at no charge. Please see Counseling and Psychological Services for more information about in-clinic counseling services.

For long-term counseling, enrollees can choose an in-network or out-of-network provider. Please contact Student Health & Counseling Services with your provider’s information so a referral can be sent to Anthem for future claims processing.

On the UC SHIP website, you can find details and important information about your plan as well as contact information and network providers.
