About 1 in 5 Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental health condition, and 46% will experience mental health challenges in their lifetime. Fortunately, there’s help. The first line of defense in the battle for good mental health is removing the stigma of talking about mental illness by ensuring readily available resources.
CHG is committed to ensuring our employees' overall health and well-being, a key component of which is mental health. We provide a wide array of behavioral health services to support our employees and their families.
Behavioral health therapists and assistance on your time
Here are eight benefits that CHG Healthcare offers to help you and your family take care of your behavioral health:
1. Marathon Health
Marathon Health offers behavioral health services to all our employees. In addition to in-person behavioral health visits, they can schedule a virtual appointment with a Marathon provider anytime through the Marathon eHealth portal.
2. Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Our EAP through Optum Health is available free of charge to all employees, regardless of whether they are enrolled in medical insurance or not. The EAP provides confidential legal, financial, and behavioral health assistance.
3. Sanvello
Sanvello is an app that offers clinical techniques and tools to help dial down the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. The app teaches mindfulness skills and provides mood and health-tracking tools that can be used to improve mental and physical health.
4. Talkspace
Talkspace makes therapy available to everyone. During sign-up, employees take a brief assessment and choose a therapist they would like to work with. Then, they can start scheduling video and phone sessions and even text with a therapist.
5. HeadSpace Care
Our employees and their dependents aged 13 can access on-demand behavioral healthcare through HeadSpace Care. Immediate text-based behavioral health coaching, video therapy with a psychiatrist, and self-guided care resources are available day or night.
6. Wellthy caregiving services
Wellthy offers personalized support from a specialized team of care professionals to help you find and coordinate support for your and your family’s mental health needs.
7. Flat copay for behavioral health services
We know that deductibles and copays may be a barrier for some to seek out services for mental health or substance use disorders, so our health plans now only require a flat copay for both in- and out-of-network behavioral health outpatient appointments.
8. Brightline
Brightline offers virtual mental healthcare for kids and teens aged 1.5 – 17 years. The health coaching is free, and therapy and coaching appointments are subject to a flat copayment.
