Please note, you can also login to your insurance carrier’s website and use their “Find a Doctor” feature. Generally, you will enter “Behavioral Health” as the category of services and “Psychologist” (for therapy) or “Psychiatrist” (for medications) under type of provider. You can then search by distance from your home and narrow down by areas of specialty if you desire.
Telehealth Resources
UMass Dartmouth's Blue Cross Blue Shield Telehealth:
Co-pays are waived for students with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS). Simply create an account through Well Connection, their telehealth platform. Telehealth, which offers convenience as well as the opportunity to avoid potential exposure to contagion, is included in the health plans of all BCBS members with telehealth benefits. They also have a 24/7 nurse hotline, which is available free to all members and offers a safe and convenient clinical resource for minor ailments or questions.
In the Well Connection platform, there are options for both medical and "behavioral" health, which is another term for mental health care.
