How it works

How Partnership mental health benefits work

Partnership HealthPlan of California is a Medi-Cal managed care plan. Partnership has partnered with Carelon Behavioral Health to manage outpatient mental health benefits for members with mild to moderate needs, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.

Members with more serious mental health needs are typically served through their county mental health plan. If that may fit your situation better, we’ll tell you and point you in the right direction.

Before your first session, we typically check:

  • That your Medi-Cal is active with Partnership HealthPlan
  • That your mental health benefits are managed by Carelon
  • Whether any authorization is needed
  • The county you live in and whether telehealth fits your needs

Eligibility checks are not a guarantee of coverage. We explain what we find before you start.
