What Optum covers at Mugen
Under Optum, care with us typically includes a thorough psychiatric evaluation, ongoing medication management, and follow-up visits, in person at our Oak Brook office in DuPage County or by secure video anywhere in Illinois, including Chicago and Cook County. Our team verifies your benefits by phone before your first visit.
Psychiatric evaluation
A thorough first visit to understand your history, what you're experiencing now, and your goals, then a plan built together.
Medication management
Individualized medication management reviewed and adjusted with you over time to align with your goals.
Telehealth across Illinois
Most care can be delivered by secure video anywhere in Illinois, with in-person visits at our Oak Brook office.
We treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and OCD under Optum-administered plans. Care is provided by our board-certified psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners, both in network under this plan.
What Optum members should know
Optum does not issue its own member cards, yet millions of people hold Optum behavioral health benefits. Optum is UnitedHealth Group’s health services company, and it administers mental health coverage for United Healthcare plans and for many employer programs. If a provider directory, an employer assistance letter, or liveandworkwell.com directed you here, this page is the right one.
Mugen participates in the Optum Behavioral Health network, which covers psychiatric care here for the plans Optum administers: evaluation, medication management, and ongoing visits, in person in Oak Brook or by video across Illinois. If you are uncertain whether your plan routes through Optum, send us what appears on your card and our office traces where your behavioral health benefits are held, or sign in at liveandworkwell.com with the group number from your card to view your behavioral health benefits directly.
United Healthcare is the companion page, linked in both directions. Cigna members meet the same arrangement under Evernorth.
