Behavioral Health Resources

If you have employees that are living with a mental health condition, they may be struggling to cope with life’s challenges effectively. They are not alone. One in five adults will need mental health treatment in his or her lifetime. The good news is that help is available.

Companion Benefit Alternatives (CBA) offers case management to help guide members through the treatment process. CBA is a separate company that manages behavioral health benefits on behalf of BlueChoice. Case management is a free, voluntary program. When members join the program, they will partner with a case manager. Their case manager will help them get the most out of their behavioral health, medical and pharmacy benefits.

Case managers can help with a variety of conditions, including:

  • Alcohol or drug use.
  • Bipolar disorder.
  • Borderline personality disorder.
  • Depression.
  • Eating disorders.

Their case manager will serve as their personal advocate, working with them to help them reach their goals.

For more information, call CBA at 1-800-868-1032.
