When you enroll in one of the medical options, you and your covered dependents are automatically enrolled for mental health and substance abuse benefits through United Behavioral Health (UBH). (Exception: The Blue Shield Deductible PPO has its own mental health and substance abuse program.)

For a mental health emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Call UBH within 48 hours after you receive emergency care.
