Mental health resource information for those with health insurance:

• Students who have the SCU student health insurance plan have mental health coverage through their plan. The plan has an in-network copay of $20 and out of network copay of $20 and 40% coinsurance (no deductible). 
  • That out of network coverage means that if a student saw a provider (who doesn't take Anthem Blue Cross) who charges $100 per session, they would pay a $20 copay and $40 (40%) coinsurance - meaning the visit would cost $60.

• Students who have commercial health insurance (ie Blue Cross, Aetna, etc) may be able to use their insurance to find a therapist in their area who is doing virtual therapy. Please check with your health insurance company.
