Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services
This important feature of the UVa Health Plan provides quality benefits for inpatient and outpatient services for care of mental illness and substance abuse. The United Behavioral Health Network (UBH) is the national network of mental health/substance abuse providers available for use to UVa Health Plan participants. A list of participating UBH providers can be found at the UBH website: https://www.liveandworkwell.com/member/. To search for a provider in the UBH website, click on the Find a Mental Health Clinician link. For coordination of mental health and substance abuse services, you and/or your provider may call the Southern Health Service Mental Health line (United Behavioral Health) at 1-800-975-8919.

When treatment is needed, the participant is encouraged to see their PCP or the UVA Faculty and Employee Assistance Program. This will put the participant in touch with a professional who will help them choose the appropriate type of network provider and level of care they need. Providers must receive preauthorization from United Behavioral Health Services prior to providing inpatient mental health/substance abuse services, psychological testing, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs.

Please note: there is no UVA Health Plan coverage for residential treatment.
