NuView is out-of-network with AmeriHealth, and many plans still cover a good portion of treatment. Call our admissions team at (323) 307-7997 for a free benefits check.

We'll confirm everything with AmeriHealth directly and walk you through what to expect, so there are no surprises later.

A Quick Note on the Beacon Name

If your insurance card or paperwork references "Beacon" or "Beacon Health Options," it's worth knowing that Beacon was rebranded to Carelon Behavioral Health in 2023, following its acquisition by Anthem, now known as Elevance Health.

Many cards and older documents still carry the Beacon name, but the coverage and provider network are the same, just under a new name.

Not sure whether this applies to your plan? Our team can look into it directly as part of your free benefits verification.

Does AmeriHealth Cover Behavioral Health Treatment?

Behavioral health coverage under AmeriHealth plans, administered through Carelon (formerly Beacon), generally includes mental health and substance use treatment as part of standard benefits. This includes therapy, medical oversight, and structured levels of care like PHP and IOP when medically necessary.

Please note that AmeriHealth operates primarily in states, such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. California is not the standard service area. If you live in California or are moving to California for your care, and hold an AmeriHealth policy, it is typically through a national employer-sponsored plan or an administrator like AmeriHealth Administrators.

The exact coverage depends on your specific AmeriHealth plan, which is why our team looks into the details directly before treatment begins.

Understanding Your AmeriHealth Plan Type

AmeriHealth's most common plan structure is the Exclusive Provider Organization, or EPO, offered across Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers.
EPO plans
don't require a referral to see a specialist, including for behavioral health
Plan tiers

affect your costs, not your access to care: Bronze means a lower monthly premium with higher costs when you use care, while Gold means a higher premium with lower costs at the point of care

Network rules can vary by plan and situation, and many members still have meaningful options for care outside their immediate network.

Who's Covered Under Your AmeriHealth Plan?

AmeriHealth Members

If you carry an individual, employer-sponsored, or marketplace AmeriHealth plan, behavioral health benefits may be included as part of your coverage.

Covered Family Members and Dependents

Eligible spouses and dependents enrolled under your plan may also have access to behavioral health benefits.

You don't have to be the primary policyholder to reach out. If your coverage comes through a spouse, parent, or another family member's plan, our admissions team can still look into your individual benefits directly.

What to Expect: Costs & Copays

AmeriHealth offers plans across Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers, each with a different balance between monthly premium and what you'll pay when you actually use care.

Higher tiers generally mean lower costs at the point of care, but the exact numbers depend entirely on your specific plan.

Our admissions team looks into your real deductible, copay, and coinsurance directly, so you're working with actual numbers, not a general estimate.
