Whole Care Advantage

Medicare Mental Health Coverage

Whole Care Advantage addresses Medicare members’ mental health needs holistically, which improves access and quality of care while reducing cost and care disparities.

Challenges faced by Medicare members

Only 38 percent of Medicare members said they have enough coverage for mental health conditions. When they do have sufficient coverage, healthcare plans often struggle with the size and availability of their provider network. Current mental health provider capacity meets only 28 percent of America’s needs, and shortages are expected to get worse. Workplace Options has a network of 83K+ credentialed providers to address your members’ mental health needs anywhere and at any time.

Beneficiaries with mental health conditions often struggle with other structural and social determinants of health, an area of overlap that we are uniquely positioned to address given the depth and breadth of our wellbeing services.

Workplace Options' spectrum of care

Geriatric Assist

This program places a local Senior Care professional in the member’s home to run a number of assessments. The results can be shared with your Care Management Team for follow-up with any observed social determinant of health needs.

Elder Care

This service provides assistance when a member needs to make the move from independent living to assisted living or a higher level of care. Our team will provide information on a number of facilities that meet the member’s requirements.

Grief Loss Change

Emotional support for those who have experienced a traumatic event, such as the death of a loved one. This confidential service promotes a return to normal life and helps restore emotional balance.

Wellness Coaching

With an emphasis on physical health, Workplace Options offers coaching help for weight management and an evidence-based tobacco cessation program. Wellness coaching programs offer personalized plans, education, and consistent support.

Benefits of a Holistic Mental Health Approach

By providing holistic Medicare mental health coverage, we help your beneficiaries live happier, healthier lives. Holistic treatments utilize the approach that the mind and body are not separate and distinct — they’re fully integrated aspects of ourselves.

For example, losing a loved one takes a dramatic toll on an individual’s mental health and wellbeing. The symptoms of depression and grief can impact your beneficiaries’ physical health. By taking a holistic approach to treating grief and other mood disorders, our counselors can address the comprehensive impact of life changes, helping your beneficiaries learn strategies to improve how they feel mentally and physically.

This philosophy can be especially beneficial to the elderly, who may be experiencing a number of lifestyle changes that make it difficult for them to adjust. Our Whole Care Advantage coverage can be the key to helping Medicare members cope with mental health challenges and live better lives as a result.
