Mental and Behavioral Health Benefits for National Benefit Fund Members
If you or a family member needs help with mental health, alcohol or substance abuse issues, you have access to mental health counselors, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health care providers in our network or through Teladoc. You may find a provider by visiting www.1199SEIUBenefits.org/find-a-provider. If you need assistance finding a provider, Benefit Fund social workers and professional staff will help you and your family find the treatment programs you need and coordinate your care with your doctors. For more information, call (646) 473-6900.
Your behavioral and mental health benefit covers you for talk therapy in person, by phone or online through a participating provider or Teladoc* and requires no referral or prior authorization.
