Psychiatric Care for UnitedHealthcare Members in California

Telehealth psychiatry for adults in California with UnitedHealthcare coverage — booked through Headway, with your benefits verified up front.

UnitedHealthcare and behavioral health

UnitedHealthcare manages behavioral health through Optum, and telehealth psychiatry is covered under most California UHC plans. The MindCounsel sees UnitedHealthcare members across California by secure video, with appointments booked through Headway so your eligibility and cost share are confirmed before the first visit.

Coverage can differ across UHC commercial, PPO, and employer-sponsored plans, including telehealth cost share.

What UnitedHealthcare members can be seen for

Care includes adult ADHD evaluation, psychiatric medication management, anxiety and depression treatment, diagnostic clarification, and second opinions. The approach is the same regardless of plan: a careful evaluation first, then a clear, collaborative plan.

How to verify your coverage

Your UnitedHealthcare or Optum member ID is all you need to verify benefits. Booking through Headway runs an automatic benefits check, so you can see any copay or deductible before scheduling. Participation with a plan is not a guarantee of coverage for any individual service, and self-pay is available if you prefer.

Private, discreet care

Visits take place over a secure, encrypted platform from a private space of your choosing, with optional in-person visits in Corona. Your information is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
