No need for a referral

You don’t need a referral from your primary care doctor to get access to behavioral health services. However, only services offered through plan providers will be covered (unless approved by Sharp Health Plan).


What does your plan cover?

As a Sharp Health Plan Member, you’ll have access to:

  • Behavioral health care services for all ages
  • Inpatient hospital services
  • Outpatient hospital services
  • Outpatient therapy
  • Autism services
  • Video visits

You can log in to Sharp Connect to download your member handbook and find more information about your benefits.

What you should know

  • Coverage is obtained through plan providers. Out-of-network service is not covered unless approved by Sharp Health Plan because needed services are not available in-network.
  • Behavioral health services will not be approved, denied or modified based solely on the type of admission (voluntary or involuntary) or method of transportation to a health facility.

Emergency care

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a suicidal or mental health crisis, please call or text the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or dial 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

If emergency medical care is needed, call 911 or go to the emergency room of the nearest hospital.

How to spot the signs

Behavioral health problems appear in a variety of ways. For some people, you might see big changes in their behavior and mood. For others, you might not notice any difference, even though they’re struggling inside.

The It’s Up to Us® website offers information about what to look for and how to get help for yourself or those around you who may be going through a difficult time.
