Accessing quality mental health care shouldn’t feel overwhelming—and cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting the help you need. At Aliya Mental Health, we’re committed to making treatment as accessible as possible. That’s why we work closely with many major insurance providers to help patients use their mental health insurance benefits for services like therapy, psychiatric care, outpatient treatment, and dual diagnosis programs.
Understanding how insurance works can make a big difference in your treatment journey. Here’s what you need to know.
How Mental Health Insurance Works
Most health insurance plans—whether employer-sponsored, private, or through the Affordable Care Act—include coverage for mental health and substance use treatment. Thanks to mental health parity laws, insurance providers are required to treat mental and behavioral health benefits similarly to medical and surgical benefits.
This means your plan may cover:
- Psychiatric evaluations
- Medication management
- Individual, group, or family therapy
- Treatment for co-occurring disorders
- Outpatient mental health services
- Partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient programs (PHP/IOP)
However, coverage details depend on your specific insurance provider, plan type, and level of care.
In-Network vs. Out-of-Network Coverage
At Aliya Mental Health, we accept both in-network and out-of-network insurance plans. Here’s what that means:
- In-Network: We have a direct contract with your insurance provider, which usually means lower out-of-pocket costs and simplified billing.
- Out-of-Network: You may still have coverage depending on your plan (especially if you have a PPO), but costs and authorization requirements may differ.

Verifying Your Mental Health Insurance Benefits
Here’s how our insurance verification process works:
- Submit your insurance info via our secure online form or by phone.
- Our team contacts your provider to verify what’s covered—including levels of care, length of stay, and any authorizations required.
- We explain your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs, so you know exactly what to expect before starting treatment.
- You focus on healing, not paperwork or insurance headaches.
What Insurance Might Not Cover
While many plans offer comprehensive mental health coverage, it’s important to be aware of common limitations, such as:
- Preauthorization requirements
- Limits on the number of therapy sessions
- Preferred providers or network restrictions
- Coverage only for “medically necessary” treatment
We help patients navigate these issues by working directly with insurance companies and advocating for the care you need.
