How GEHA Covers Mental Health Care at Lenape

Thanks to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), providers like GEHA treat mental health with the same importance as physical health. This means your plan likely offers robust benefits for the various levels of care we provide in our unique, supportive environment. Most plans require pre-authorization for these services to confirm medical necessity, a process our team handles for you.

Residential Treatment

Residential treatment is the most intensive level of care, designed for individuals whose symptoms require a 24/7 supportive environment. Here, you will find comfortable rooms and a peaceful setting with stunning views that are healing in themselves. By removing external stressors, you gain the space for a singular focus on your well-being, supported by our caring team and enjoying nutritious meals prepared with care.

  • 24/7 Medical and Clinical Support: You will have round-the-clock access to our team of medical and clinical professionals.
  • A True Healing Environment: By stepping away from external pressures, you can engage fully in the therapeutic process, surrounded by natural beauty.
  • Comprehensive Therapeutic Immersion: Residential care includes intensive individual therapy, multiple daily Group Therapy sessions, and specialized treatments.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) serves as a critical bridge, providing a powerful, full-time treatment experience without requiring an overnight stay. It provides the structure of a full-day program enriched by our holistic and experiential activities, allowing you to practice new skills in your real-world environment each night.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides a more flexible yet highly structured treatment option. It’s an excellent choice for those who must balance commitments to work, school, or family while receiving a high level of care, allowing you to seamlessly integrate our unique therapeutic activities into your daily life.

Outpatient Services

Ongoing outpatient care is the bedrock of long-term wellness. Continuing with regular services helps solidify the gains you’ve made and provides consistent support. We offer a wide array of specialized outpatient therapies.

  • Psychotherapy: Engage in talk therapy to deepen your self-awareness and understanding.
  • Family Therapy: Involve loved ones to improve communication.
  • EMDR Therapy: Address specific issues with a targeted, evidence-based trauma treatment.

Simplifying GEHA Pre-Authorization

To make your experience stress-free, we handle the entire pre-authorization process required by GEHA. As an in-network partner, we have a direct line of communication that helps streamline the approval process. Our dedicated team acts as your advocate, following a straightforward workflow:

  • Clinical Review Packet: We compile all necessary clinical documentation and treatment justifications required by GEHA.
  • Direct Electronic Submission: We submit these documents via the secure provider portal, ensuring accuracy and speed.
  • Proactive Tracking and Follow-Up: We actively monitor your case and promptly handle any additional information requests to minimize delays.

You can rest easy knowing our team of experts manages all the paperwork, freeing you to concentrate on your well-being.

Typical Approval Timelines

Approval timelines for pre-authorization vary based on clinical urgency; however, as an in-network partner, we strive to obtain prompt responses.

  • Urgent Requests: Typically reviewed within 72 hours.
  • Routine Requests: Usually reviewed within five business days.

We expedite every submission by initiating the process the same day you reach out, ensuring there are no unnecessary delays in beginning your treatment.

What You Will Pay With GEHA

As an in-network provider, your out-of-pocket costs with GEHA are transparent and predictable. Your financial responsibility depends on your specific plan’s details:

  • Deductible: This is the amount you must pay out of pocket before your insurance coverage begins. We will verify your remaining deductible for you.
  • Copay or Coinsurance: After meeting your deductible, you are typically responsible for a small, fixed copay per service or a low coinsurance percentage.
  • Out-of-Pocket Maximum: Your plan includes an annual maximum. Once you reach this amount, GEHA covers 100% of eligible in-network costs for the rest of the year.

Our admissions specialists will provide a detailed, no-obligation breakdown of your estimated costs before you commit to treatment. We can also discuss our private pay options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

As a federal employee, is my treatment confidential from my employer?

Yes, 100%. All aspects of your treatment at Lenape Wellness are strictly confidential and protected by HIPAA. Your privacy is our utmost priority, and no information will be shared with your employer without your explicit written consent.

What does "in-network" mean for my costs?

Being an in-network provider means we have a contracted rate with GEHA, which typically results in lower out-of-pocket costs for you. Your deductible, copayments, or coinsurance will be determined by your specific plan’s in-network benefits, which our team will verify for you.

Does GEHA cover travel for out-of-state residential treatment?

Most health insurance plans, including GEHA, do not typically cover the cost of travel to a treatment facility. However, our admissions team can assist you in planning the most cost-effective travel logistics. We recommend confirming the specifics of your plan’s travel benefits directly with GEHA.

What if I need crisis care before my admission is approved?

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call or text 988 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately. Your safety is the top priority. Our admissions process can resume once you are stable.
