The quick answer

Yes, Exist Is In-Network With UnitedHealthcare

Exist is in-network with UnitedHealthcare, and your UnitedHealthcare rehab coverage can apply to PHP, IOP, and outpatient care at our clinic in Laguna Beach. On some plans, Optum manages the mental health benefit, and since we're in-network with Optum too, we check with whichever one handles yours. Send a member ID and date of birth, and we get back to you within one business day. Benefits vary by plan, and verification is not a guarantee of coverage.

We ask the plan about mental health and substance use together, because we treat them together.

How We Check a UnitedHealthcare Plan in One Business Day

Checking your benefits is free. Your part is one phone call or the insurance form, we contact the plan ourselves, and you hear back from us within one business day.

  1. A person seated in a cream armchair in a plaster room, seen from behind, facing a tall narrow window with a pale sun over the sea.

    Reach the Clinic

    Call, text, or leave a voicemail at (949) 670-9345, or send the insurance form on our site.

  2. A closed dark leather wallet beside a brass desk lamp on a walnut desk, a window behind showing a person seated on a bluff at dusk.

    Two Details

    We need the member ID on your UnitedHealthcare card and the date of birth of the person the plan covers.

  3. Two people walking side by side along the waterline of a wide empty beach at dusk, backs to camera, sandstone cliffs beyond.

    The Right Company

    If Optum manages the behavioral health side of your plan, we ask Optum directly instead of guessing from the card.

  4. A cream ceramic teapot and one cup on a low walnut table on a plaster terrace, a pale sun over a hazy sea beyond the wall.

    The Answer

    Within one business day, we tell you what the plan said about PHP, IOP, and outpatient care at Exist.

Does UnitedHealthcare Cover Mental Health Treatment Here?
