At Beach View Recovery in Huntington Beach, we help people understand how their health insurance works—especially when it comes to mental health and substance abuse support. If you have GEHA insurance, this guide explains how it works, what’s covered, and how to check your benefits. We also explain how GEHA therapy coveragefits with our in-person addiction and mental health programs.

What Is GEHA Health Insurance?

GEHA (Government Employees Health Association) is a health insurance provider for federal employees, retirees, and their families. It offers different plans through the FEHB program, often including health care for mental healthand behavioral conditions. GEHA plans are widely accepted at in-network treatment centers like Beach View Recovery.

Does GEHA Cover Mental Health Counseling?

Yes, GEHA typically provides therapy coverage for conditions like anxiety, stress, grief, and other behavioral issues. This includes sessions with licensed providers for counseling and emotional support. Coverage varies, but many plans include GEHA therapist coverage for both short- and long-term care.

What Services Are Covered?

GEHA often covers counseling, residential treatment, and outpatient programs for mental health and substance abuse. It also may include support for stress management, crisis intervention, and dual diagnosis treatment. At Beach View Recovery, we offer in-person services that align with most GEHA-covered benefits.

How to Verify Coverage

To verify GEHA therapy coverage, call the number on your insurance card or speak with GEHA directly. You can also contact Beach View Recovery—we will confirm your eligibility and coverage details. Our staff is experienced in working with GEHA and other major health insurance providers.

Is My Plan In-Network or Out-of-Network?

In-network providers usually mean lower costs and smoother approvals. Beach View Recovery works with many GEHA plans and will check if we’re in-network for you. Knowing your health insurance network status can help you access care faster and with fewer surprises.

What if My Insurance Changes?

If your insurance changes during treatment, let our team know right away. We’ll help verify the new health insurancecoverage and ensure your mental health or substance abuse treatment continues without delay. Insurance updates don’t have to interrupt progress.

What Types of Mental Health Conditions Does GEHA Cover?

GEHA may cover anxiety, grief, stress, depression, PTSD, and other common mental health disorders. Many plans also include coverage for behavioral conditions related to addiction and trauma. Our team treats these issues through licensed in-person care, not telehealth.

What Types of Therapy Does GEHA Cover?

Covered therapy types often include CBT, DBT, trauma-focused care, and stress management approaches. GEHA may support residential or outpatient therapy, depending on diagnosis and medical necessity. At Beach View Recovery, all services are delivered in person for better outcomes.

What Types of Therapy Does GEHA NOT Cover?

GEHA might not cover alternative or unproven therapies, and some plans exclude telehealth or out-of-network services. Certain wellness or holistic treatments may also fall outside standard GEHA therapist coverage. We provide evidence-based care that fits within covered health care guidelines.

Does GEHA Cover Couples Therapy?

GEHA may offer limited couples therapy coverage if tied to a treatable mental health condition. This usually requires a diagnosis and clinical documentation. While we don’t offer traditional couples therapy, Beach View Recovery supports individuals in relationships through focused counseling and recovery support.
