Mental Health Coverage

After-hours Consult Line

Students having a mental health crisis outside of clinic hours can call (415) 476-1281 and choose option 2 to consult with a mental health counselor. For more information, please visit Mental Health Crisis.

Enrollees are eligible to receive short-term counseling at Student Mental Health and Wellbeing (SMHW) each academic year at no charge.

For long-term counseling, enrollees can choose an in-network or out-of-network provider. Please contact SMHW with your provider’s information so a referral can be sent to Anthem for future claims processing.

On the UC SHIP website, you can find details and important information about your plan as well as contact information and network providers.
