Get behavioral health support in 3 steps

Find a provider

You don’t need a referral from your primary care physician to access outpatient therapy from a provider in your network. Search for an in-network behavioral health provider and filter by specialty, location and more to find the best fit for you.

Tip: There are many types of behavioral health care professionals who may be able to help. Speaking with your primary care physician about your concerns is also a good option.

Set up an appointment

After you choose a provider, follow their site’s instructions to schedule an appointment as a new patient.

Prepare for your first visit.

Whether your first appointment is in person or a video visit, your provider will ask you about your current health and health history before your session. It will likely be a questionnaire to help your provider get a better sense of your needs.

Once you’re set up, consider taking a self-assessment (or “screening”) for more insight into your behavioral health needs. Screenings do not provide a diagnosis and simply offer suggestions. It’s a good idea to share your screening results with your provider.

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.

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.
