Re:         Mental Health Resources - Post Election
The country is currently experiencing the most unprecedented and uncertain times. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic and employment instability, there has been a steady stream of negative news in the media, community, and among family and friends that may cause you concern and anxiety.

Given this uncertainty, UCR Healthy Campus and the Human Resources Benefits Office provide resources for UCR faculty and staff to address your mental and emotional health care needs. To help navigate this unsettling new world, you are encouraged to take advantage of the following programs and resources:
University of California Behavioral Health Providers
Those enrolled in UC medical coverage may contact the following providers:

Behavioral Health Benefits for HMO plans

*        UC Blue & Gold HMO members may access care from MHN in-network providers.

*        Kaiser members may access care from Kaiser behavioral health providers or from Optum in-network providers.

You do not need a referral from your primary care provider to see a behavioral health provider, but some services require preauthorization. You are welcome to contact the following behavioral health providers for immediate assistance:


*        Health Net UC Blue & Gold<https://uc.healthnetcalifornia.com/members/behavioral-health.html> - MHN - (800) 663-9355

*        Kaiser Permanente<http://my.kp.org/universityofcalifornia/> (Southern California) - Call your local clinic or (800) 900-3277 after hours

Behavioral Health Benefits for PPO plans

*        UC Health Savings Plan (HSP) and UC Care members have access to Anthem Blue Cross in-network providers.

*        UC HSP and UC Care members also have access to out-of-network providers. If you choose to see an out-of-network provider, your costs will be higher and you may need to pay your provider directly for services and submit a claim for reimbursement.

*        Some services require preauthorization. For information about your benefits and help finding an in-network provider, call Anthem at (844) 437-0486.
