What is SimpleTherapy Mental Health Insurance?
Halcyon Behavioral was acquired by SimpleTherapy in 2022, which extends the former employee assistance program (EAP) to include a variety of behavioral health services. SimpleBehavioral helps self-insured employers manage and administer behavioral health benefits. Their network includes mental health providers, psychiatric services, substance abuse programs, and facilities.1
If your child has been diagnosed with a mental health condition and you receive benefits under SimpleTherapy, there are often multiple care options, which may include one or more Mission Prep services.
Types Of SimpleTherapy Insurance Accepted Treatment
There are different levels of care for mental health treatment depending on the severity of a child’s symptoms. SimpleTherapy covers both inpatient and outpatient treatment for mental health and substance use disorders. Below, we will discuss some of the types of treatment available under your insurance benefits.
Inpatient Treatment
For teens displaying extreme emotional and behavioral symptoms that can pose a safety risk, SimpleTherapy inpatient mental health treatment can be useful for acute stabilization. By receiving care within a general or psychiatric hospital, your child will be monitored 24/7 by medical staff equipped to address serious mental health concerns. Typically, inpatient mental health treatment is short-term, focused on getting your child through a specific crisis. Financial coverage for this level of care under SimpleTherapy is based on medical necessity. Contact Mission Prep today to learn about our inpatient mental health treatment facilities for teens.
Residential Mental Health Facilities
When your child is experiencing symptoms that significantly impact their life, but do not require the medical monitoring provided in a hospital, residential mental health treatment may be appropriate. SimpleTherapy residential treatment may be partially or fully covered by your plan, depending on medical necessity and whether the facility is in-network with your plan. It’s a good idea to check directly with your insurance provider to understand what residential care includes. Mission Prep offers a comprehensive residential mental health program designed to provide adolescents with 24/7 support in a comfortable environment.
Mental Health Rehab
Treating addictions and substance use disorders in teens may involve entering a mental health rehab facility. SimpleTherapy mental health rehab coverage may extend to reputable facilities focused on evidence-based interventions for substance use disorders. Any remaining financial responsibility on your part, including deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, will depend on your specific health plan. We recommend reaching out to SimpleTherapy directly to find out more about the level of care.
Outpatient Programs and Therapy
Seeking outpatient mental health treatment may be an appropriate first step if your child’s symptoms are less severe or do not impair their daily functioning. This level of care can include office-based therapy sessions as well as intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization programs when needed. SimpleTherapy therapy services covered by your plan will vary based on medical necessity, your child’s diagnosis, and various other factors. Reach out to Mission Prep today to learn about our outpatient mental health treatment programs for teens and find out which services are covered by your health plan.
If your child has been diagnosed with a mental health condition, reaching out for a formal evaluation to determine the appropriate level of care is the next step. You can learn more about Mission Prep’s treatment recommendations by contacting us today.
Mental Health Conditions Covered for Treatment
There are many mental health conditions that significantly impact teens today. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), nearly one-third of young adults in the United States experienced a mental health condition in 2024. Depression and anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent diagnoses for this age group, but other conditions also affect today’s teens. The following sections will focus on common mental health conditions covered by SimpleTherapy.2
Depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one form of depression that affects many young people. When the severity of symptoms increases, safety can become a key concern for your child. SimpleTherapy depression treatment coverage may include not only MDD, but also bipolar depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and atypical depression when treatment is medically necessary. Mission Prep provides access to several therapeutic interventions targeting teenage depression, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and in some cases, advanced treatment options such as
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Contact us today to find out which insurance-covered Mission Prep services are best suited for your child.
Anxiety Disorders
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is one of the most common mental health concerns for adolescents today. According to a 2024 report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, nearly 20% of United States adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 experienced moderate or severe symptoms of GAD. SimpleTherapy anxiety therapy coverage can partially or fully financially support your child’s treatment, depending on your specific health plan. Mission Prep’s teen anxiety treatment options address not only GAD, but also specific phobias, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder in teens.3
Trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
For teens who experienced traumatic childhood events, such as neglect, abuse, or the loss of a loved one, finding an effective treatment program to process these memories is a priority. In extreme cases, a teen may develop PTSD as a result of exposure to childhood trauma. SimpleTherapy trauma treatment coverage extends to teens diagnosed with PTSD as well as other trauma-based mental health conditions. At Mission Prep, we offer a variety of innovative services focused on teen trauma and PTSD, which may be partially or fully covered by your insurance plan.
In addition to the mental health conditions discussed above, there are many mental health conditions that require treatment. Your SimpleTherapy mental health benefits may apply to many of these conditions, such as eating disorders, psychosis, and self-harm. Receiving the proper diagnosis is crucial for getting your child the treatment they need. Feel free to call Mission Prep to learn more about setting up a formal psychiatric assessment for your child.
SimpleTherapy Dual Diagnosis Coverage
When a child is diagnosed with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, they may require specialized treatment that can address both conditions concurrently. SimpleTherapy dual diagnosis coverage may include inpatient and outpatient mental health care, and medication management, depending on your child’s needs. We recommend contacting your SimpleBehavioral representative today to learn more about your dual diagnosis coverage and participating treatment facilities.
