Confirming your Optum/UnitedHealthcare plan
We'll check your specific Optum/UnitedHealthcare plan before you're seen so you know about network status and any cost-sharing ahead of time. Psychiatric visit coverage doesn't automatically extend to Spravato, medications, or injections — those require their own benefit check.
