Magellan covers telemedicine visits for behavioral health support

During this time of social distancing, we want to ensure members still have access to the care they need. Members who have mental health benefits through Independence can talk to a mental health counselor in Magellan’s network online or on the phone. The cost will be the same as a mental health specialist visit.

To help members find and connect with a tele‑behavioral health provider, Magellan created a step‑by‑step flyer. Please share the flyer with your employees who have our mental health benefits.

Independence Blue Cross offers products through its subsidiaries Independence Hospital Indemnity Plan, Keystone Health Plan East and QCC Insurance Company, and with Highmark Blue Shield — independent licensees of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.
