Frequently Asked Questions About Optum Insurance in NJ
Do I need a referral from a primary care doctor to see an Optum therapist?
In most cases, no. Outpatient behavioral and mental health services under Optum and UnitedHealthcare plans typically feature “direct access.” This means you do not need a referral from your primary care doctor and can reach out to book an appointment with our team directly.
What will my exact copay or session fee be under my Optum plan?
Because online insurance databases are not always 100% accurate, we never guess or provide upfront cost estimates. Instead, we run an initial eligibility check to confirm your in-network status, and then we submit your first session’s claim to your insurance. We do not bill you until Optum processes that claim and issues your official Explanation of Benefits (EOB).
Does Optum cover online therapy (telehealth) in New Jersey?
Yes, most Optum and UnitedHealthcare plans cover behavioral health services delivered via telehealth exactly the same way they cover in-person office visits. Our practice uses a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform so you can attend your sessions from home while utilizing your in-network benefits.
Are both therapy and psychiatric medication management covered by Optum?
Yes. Main Street Counseling offers an integrated approach to mental health. Both our licensed psychotherapists and our psychiatric nurse practitioners are in-network with Optum, meaning you can access therapy, psychiatric evaluations, and medication management under your behavioral health benefits.
