Let’s prioritize mental health

A lot has changed in the world over the last few years. More of us are working from home, kids often spend hours on social media, and daily stressors have only become more stressful.
For this reason, mental health is on our minds, especially at Anthem Blue Cross. We know an estimated 70% of primary care visits1 are driven by mental health concerns. In addition, the National Institutes of Health say that nearly 20% of children and adolescents ages 3 to 17 have a mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral condition.
Considering this data, we’re more determined than ever to be there for you and your family. That’s why we’re championing mental health support, such as:
- Keeping costs and copays down to promote equitable access to quality behavioral health services.
- Coordinating care between behavioral health specialists and primary care doctors.
- Partnering with local organizations that offer virtual care.
