Cigna benefits commonly used at MBH
Cigna members at MBH most often access these covered services after benefits verification and any required authorization.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
Structured daytime programming — typically 5–6 hours per day — with psychiatric oversight, individual therapy, and group process. Many plans cover PHP as a step-down from residential or an alternative when 24-hour care is not required.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Three or more clinical sessions per week while you live at home. IOP at MBH includes individual and group therapy, skills training, and medication management when clinically appropriate.
Outpatient Therapy
Weekly or bi-weekly individual sessions, family therapy, and ongoing medication management for clients stepping down from higher levels of care or entering treatment directly.
Dual-Diagnosis Care
Federal parity law requires most private plans to cover mental health treatment comparably to medical care. Co-occurring depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder are treated alongside addiction.
Telehealth (Statewide)
Many Missouri plans cover HIPAA-compliant telehealth for IOP and outpatient services — making evidence-based care accessible outside the Springfield area.
Medication Management
Psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication support for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions, integrated with your therapy plan.
Coverage depends on your specific plan, medical necessity, and in-network status. Missouri Behavioral Health does not accept Medicaid or Medicare. We verify private-plan benefits at no cost before admission.
How it works
We handle the insurance calls for you.
Share your plan information
Call our admissions team or use the online verification form with your insurance card — member ID, group number, and date of birth. Everything is confidential under HIPAA.
We contact your insurer
Our team speaks directly with your insurance company to confirm in-network status, covered levels of care, deductibles, copays, and any prior authorization requirements.
Review your options together
You receive a clear summary of estimated out-of-pocket costs and a recommended treatment plan before your first clinical appointment at our Springfield facility or via telehealth.
Cigna and addiction treatment coverage
Cigna is a major national carrier serving employer groups, individuals, and families. Most Cigna plans include substance use disorder and mental health benefits aligned with parity requirements.
MBH does not provide 24-hour residential care — we focus on intensive outpatient structures that allow many Cigna members to receive robust clinical hours while living at home or in supportive housing.
Our admissions team contacts Cigna or your plan's behavioral health vendor to confirm network status, covered services, and member cost-sharing.
