How does the outpatient mental health benefit work?
Choose any provider, keeping in mind that a preferred provider will maximize your benefits (search now). There are no limits to the number of visits per year. However, after each ninth visit your provider will need to obtain an approved prior authorization to continue paying your claims. For more information on mental health benefits refer to pages 35-37 and 42 in the Samaritan Select Member Handbook, or contact Member Services.
