Using Cox Health benefits at MBH
Cox Health members may access the following services when covered by their plan and clinically appropriate.
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.
