Understanding Western Growers Health and Your Benefits
Western Growers Health has served the agricultural community since 1957, providing health benefit plans for agricultural employers and their workforces.
Who Does Western Growers Health Cover?
Western Growers Health plans serve a wide range of people across the agricultural industry, and coverage often extends well beyond a single employee.
Eligible Dependents
Spouses, children, and other covered dependents may also have access to behavioral health benefits under the same plan.
Reaching Out on Someone Else's Behalf
You don't have to be the primary policyholder to contact us. If your coverage comes through a spouse, parent, or another family member's plan, our admissions team can still verify your individual benefits.
Plan Members
Coverage generally includes:
- Owners and managers
- Field workers
- Seasonal employees
- Other eligible employees across the agricultural industry
Because employers choose their own benefit design, coverage can look different from one Western Growers Health member to the next, even within the same industry.
Not Sure What Applies to You?
Coverage varies enough from plan to plan that it's genuinely hard to know without checking. Call us at (323) 307-7997, and we'll help you figure out exactly what applies to your situation.
How Western Growers Health, Pinnacle, and Cedar Connect
Western Growers Health and Pinnacle Claims Management are part of the same Western Growers family of healthcare companies, Pinnacle administers benefits for Western Growers Health plans.
Western Growers Health also operates Cedar Health Centers, which provide healthcare services to eligible Western Growers Health members and their dependents.
Not sure which network applies to you? Our team can confirm it as part of your free benefits verification.
Does Western Growers Health Cover Behavioral Health?
Many Western Growers Health plans include coverage for both mental health and substance use treatment, though exact benefits depend on the plan your employer selected.
Coverage can include therapy, medical oversight, and structured levels of care like PHP and IOP when appropriate.
What to Expect: Costs & Copays
Since Western Growers Health plans are employer-sponsored and administered through Pinnacle Claims Management, costs like your deductible, copay, and coinsurance depend on the specific plan your employer selected, because they're not the same for every member.
Rather than guess at a general range, our admissions team confirms your exact costs directly as part of your free benefits verification, so you know precisely what to expect before treatment begins.
Do You Need Prior Authorization?
Some behavioral health services may require prior authorization or utilization review before treatment begins, depending on your plan, network, and recommended level of care.
Here's what that process generally looks like:
- 1
Contact NuView
- 2
Provide your insurance information
- 3
Verify eligibility, network, and behavioral health benefits
- 4
Complete a confidential clinical assessment
- 5

- 6

- 7
Begin treatment when clinically appropriate and authorized
