veterans rehab program under Optum VA CCN for Mental Health Coverage

Living with a mental health condition can be overwhelming—and not knowing where to turn can make matters worse. As a veteran, you may feel like you don’t have anyone to talk to that will understand. However, you are not alone in your struggles.

Mental health concerns are sweeping the nation, with over one in five now suffering from a mental health condition and one in 20 living with a serious mental health disorder. However, when looking at the veteran populations, these rates are often higher, especially when focusing on depression and post-traumatic disorder (PTSD).

Research shows that approximately 14% to 16% of the veterans deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan are affected by depression or PTSD. Many of these veterans have a dual diagnosis, further complicating their path to treatment.

At Transformations Mending Fences, we help veterans like you get the needed treatment. Optum VA CCN mental health rehab is available to those in need.

If you’re unsure whether your insurance plan covers treatment, please call us at 888-995-6013 to verify your options. 

Optum VA CCN for Mental Health Coverage

One of the primary concerns is the financial cost of treatment. In many cases, people are ready and willing to get help but are unsure how they will pay for treatment.

That is why we urge everyone to call and have our team verify their coverage.

Understanding Mental Health Insurance Coverage

For many, health insurance can seem like a mystery. What’s covered and what’s not?

While policies and laws surrounding insurance are constantly changing, there are various types of plans—both private and public. The coverage you have is based on your plan. Many common health insurance types exist, whether Medicaid, CHIP, or VA Health Care—and while mental health treatment was not typically covered in the past, it is now in many cases.

In 2008, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act was passed. Although this law does not require insurance providers to cover mental health treatment, it does ensure mental health services are treated like any other. For those that do offer mental health treatment, they cannot charge a higher copay for mental therapy compared to other specialists, for example.

Insurance providers often cover medically necessary treatments, including:

  • Talk therapies, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychotherapy
  • Psychiatric emergency services
  • Dual-diagnosis treatment
  • Outpatient sessions with psychiatrists and clinical psychologists
  • And other related services

Your plan will determine the extent of your insurance coverage, such as the length of stay in a mental health rehab facility. As a veteran, you may have access to specialized coverage.

What Role Does Optum Play?

Optum aims to provide veterans with more health care choices.

Third-party administrators, like Optum, manage a network of community care providers and provider billing. Currently, Optum covers regions 1, 2, and 3, which cover 36 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and  Puerto Rico.

As of this writing, the VA Community Care Network is active in all three regions and serves over six million veterans.

While Optum plays many roles, veterans struggling with mental health concerns will be involved with the Optum behavioral health network team, which offers access to psychiatry support. Optum handles all claims processing—on average, they are paid within 14 days.

Reviewing Your Insurance Coverage

At Transformations Mending Fences, we’re proud to accept Optum VA CCN mental health rehab insurance to aid in the recovery of our nation’s veterans.

VA CCN insurance is comprised of a network of insurance companies. We accept this insurance for various mental health treatment options at Transformations Mending Fences. However, coverage will depend on your plan.

Some considerations include:

  • Possible coverage limitations, such as limits on annual counseling sessions or the need for a referral. You can discuss these limitations with the team at Transformations Mending Fences.
  • Coverage for inpatient vs. outpatient treatment may vary, as inpatient rehab may have more constraints. It’s important to plan so you know what’s covered.
  • Some specialty services may be covered while others are not. For example, dual-diagnosis treatment may be covered, but not experimental therapy.

What We Offer at Transformations Mending Fences

If you’re ready to get the help you deserve, Transformations Mending Fences will help you confidently begin your journey. You will remove that initial obstacle once you verify Optum VA CCN mental health rehab coverage.

The expert, dedicated team at Transformations Mending Fences will guide you toward the best option based on your current diagnosis.

Some of the treatment options covered by Optum VA CCN include the following.

Inpatient Mental Health Treatment

We offer a comprehensive approach to high-quality inpatient mental health services. In this case, you will stay at our beautiful treatment center, where you’ll gain access to round-the-clock support and care.

Just some of the services available during your stay include:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy is a cornerstone treatment. It helps clients develop healthier coping mechanisms by addressing distressing thought patterns and behaviors.
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an innovative therapy that can help you recover from traumatic experiences and stressors.
  • Recreational therapy involves everything from physical wellness and recreational activities to music and art therapy. The goal is to promote self-discovery and optimal emotional regulation.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)

Our PHP programs offer a step down from inpatient care for those who do not require full hospitalization. While this option is still highly structured and offers everything you need to heal, it is more flexible.

You can anticipate daily therapy sessions, medical oversight, support for co-occurring disorders, and peer support. Although these holistic programs offer a range of structured therapy and support options, we ensure each veteran receives a personalized treatment plan.

We Understand the Unique Needs of Each Veteran

Transformations Mending Fences offers targeted programs for veterans, recognizing the unique challenges you and your family face. We have developed specialized therapies and tailored support networks.

These programs aim to enhance coping strategies, build resilience, and offer a supportive community.

For example, you could benefit from:

  • SoundPath Recovery utilizes the power of music therapy. Many respond well to this program, as it involves playing instruments, guided music listening, and songwriting—all of which aid in creative expression and emotional discovery.
  • Equine therapy can be a very moving experience, supporting personal growth. This therapy is especially beneficial for those living with PTSD, helping individuals develop communication skills, strengthen empathy, build trust, and more.
