Carelon Behavioral Health

Carelon Behavioral Health, formerly known as Beacon Health Options, is one of the largest behavioral health management companies in the US, serving over 40 million members through insurance plans, employers, and government programs. If your insurance plan or employer uses Carelon for behavioral health, they manage your mental health benefits—authorizing care, maintaining provider networks, and offering care management programs. Carelon also provides EAP (Employee Assistance Program) services with free counseling sessions. The platform connects members with in-network therapists, psychiatrists, and substance use treatment programs. Members access services through their insurance or employer benefits.
