Kaiser Health Insurance for Mental Health Care

At Psychiatry Treatment Centers, we know how important it is for you to access high-quality mental health services, and we understand that insurance plays a big role in your decisions. That’s why we partner with a wide variety of insurance providers, including Kaiser Permanente. This option is accepted at our locations in Southern California, and requires your Kaiser provider to place a referral to our clinic if appropriate. We want you to know a little more about what your Kaiser health plan has to offer.

In this article, we’ll review the many mental health resources available through your insurance and some of the other member advantages that support your health needs.

About Kaiser Permanente

Founded in 1945, Kaiser Permanente is one of the largest not-for-profit health plans in the U.S. Based in Oakland, California, the company’s mission is to provide high-quality, affordable health care services and improve the health of its members and the communities it serves. This includes 12.6 million members across the country.

Kaiser takes a holistic, integrated approach to care and has evolved over the years to become one of the most comprehensive health care systems in the U.S.

Kaiser mental health treatment options

As a Kaiser insurance member, you have access to several mental wellness providers and resources, including PTC Med. This means that if you’re feeling anxious, need help with your antidepressant, or are seeking outpatient psychotherapy, connected Kaiser providers can help. The types of mental health care available to members with this health plan include:

Individual therapy — This therapeutic, one-on-one approach to mental health care helps you overcome the challenges related to a specific condition, including those related to thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Group therapy — Community-based support lets you work alongside peers with similar experiences throughout your mental health journey.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — TMS is an FDA-approved type of brain stimulation therapy that can help people with treatment-resistant depression and other disorders.

Medication — Many people find that medication helps make managing their mental health easier, and a provider can help you find the best fit for you.

Health classes — Find sessions that teach you everyday coping skills to help you manage things like stress, unhealthy behaviors, relationships and more.

Self-care resources — Access online self-assessments, digital self-care apps and phone-based wellness coaching sessions anytime you need to.

At PTC Med, we know how challenging it can be to take care of your emotional, physical and mental well-being. Kaiser makes finding vital wellness resources simple when you need a little extra support.

*Please note: Your coverage options depend on your plan. Please consult your health insurance benefits for specific coverage details.

Connected physical and mental health care

Mental health and physical health are interconnected, and Kaiser makes it easy to navigate your whole health journey. Your primary care doctors, specialists, therapists and other providers all have access to your complete medical history, so you don’t have to keep track of everything by yourself and share it every single time you consult someone new.

At PTC Med, we believe collaboration is crucial to your care and we’re all on the same team. Kaiser doesn’t just reduce the hassle of managing your health by yourself — it also helps ensure that our team and your primary providers are simultaneously up to date on the most recent developments in your medical history.

Kaiser Permanente member advantages

Kaiser offers innovative solutions to help you manage your overall health and wellness. One member benefit is cost-effective access to popular mental health apps, such as Calm and Headspace. Evaluated by Kaiser clinicians, these apps support your treatment program by helping you with things like sleep, stress, focus, meditation and more.

Here are a few of the other services at your fingertips:

Streamlined health systems — From prescription details to vaccination records, everything is located in one hassle-free system via kp.org or the Kaiser Permanente app.

Pharmacy care — Kaiser pharmacy services simplify medication management with online refills and at-home delivery options.

Health care cost estimates — If you’re scheduled for a specialty procedure, it’s easy to find estimated costs and prepare ahead of time financially.
