What Conditions Does UnitedHealthcare | Optum Insurance Cover at the Los Angeles Outpatient Center?

What Mental Health Conditions are Covered by united-healthcare

UnitedHealthcare plans, with behavioral health administered by Optum, generally cover treatment for the conditions we treat at LAOP, as long as a clinician determines the level of care is medically necessary. This includes:

Anxiety Disorders

The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 19.1% of U.S. adults had an anxiety disorder in the past year. Common types of anxiety include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder, all of which can cause excessive worry, fear, and physical symptoms like a rapid heartbeat or restlessness.

At LAOP, we help treat anxiety through therapy and structured treatment plans, helping individuals regain confidence and manage their anxiety effectively.

Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad. It’s often experienced as a persistent feeling of hopelessness, fatigue, and loss of interest in daily activities that can make day-to-day life feel incredibly difficult. LAOP’s compassionate approach to depression is designed to help people rediscover their purpose and restore their mental health through proven, science-backed therapies.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

PTSD can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It can keep the body behaving as though the danger has not passed and often leads to distressing flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened anxiety. Our specialized team at LAOP offers trauma-informed care to help clients, whether they’re veterans facing combat-related trauma, or people from any walk of life that experienced life-threatening or distressing incidents.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder causes extreme mood swings that go well beyond ordinary ups and downs, from manic highs to depressive episodes. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 2.8% of U.S. adults had bipolar disorder in the past year. Treatment at LAOP includes structured outpatient programs and therapy with an experienced team of mental health experts.

Personality Disorders

Personality disorders involve deeply ingrained patterns of behavior and thought that impact relationships and emotional stability. Our clinicians design individualized treatment plans, including DBT and cognitive interventions, to help clients at Los Angeles Outpatient Treatment Center build healthier thought patterns and coping strategies. Each of these treatment programs is carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, using proven methods and services covered by United Healthcare Insurance. Call today or verify your United’s coverage online to begin your treatment at Los Angeles Outpatient Treatment Center.

Other Conditions We Treat

As an in-network provider, your UnitedHealthcare | Optum plan can also cover care for obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding disorder, acute stress disorder, and specific phobias. If what you are dealing with is not on this list, call us anyway. It is a short conversation, and we would rather answer the question than have you guess at it.

What Programs Does UnitedHealthcare | Optum Cover at the Los Angeles Outpatient Center?

If your UnitedHealthcare insurance card features an Optum or United Behavioral Health (UBH) logo, your Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) services are generally covered under our in-network agreement, subject to prior authorization.

What Programs are Covered by united-healthcare At Los Angeles Outpatient Center?

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is our most structured level of care: six hours a day, five days a week, with clients returning home each night. Most people who need this level of support start here, then step down to IOP when they are ready for a lighter schedule.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) runs part-time hours, three to five days a week. It gives you enough support to keep making progress, and enough room to get back to work, school, and the people who need you.

Individual and Family Therapy

Both of our outpatient programs include regular one-on-one sessions with a primary therapist, plus family sessions. What you are carrying rarely belongs to you alone.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is the heart of our outpatient programs, and often the part people remember most after treatment. It builds community, offers perspective from people who truly understand, and reminds you you’re not alone.

Psychiatry and Medication Management

Sessions with a psychiatrist and weekly medical follow-up, so that medication decisions get made carefully and revisited as you go.
