Is continuity of care available for members who are receiving treatment for a serious mental health condition?
Yes. Our mental health services administrator, U.S. Behavioral Health Plan (USBHPC), must also comply with the same provisions of California law. Our member materials tell new enrollees and established members that they can obtain further information about completing treatment with their current mental health provider by contacting USBHPC directly. USBHPC will administer continuity of care services for members receiving mental health services.
