Mental health, substance abuse benefits for FEP members hasn’t changed

Mental health and substance abuse treatment benefits for Federal Employee Program® members didn’t change with the transition to the new behavioral health vendor New Directions Behavioral Health on April 1, 2015.

As a reminder, FEP members continue to use the same network of providers as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan commercial PPO members.

Note: On Jan. 1, 2015, the preferred provider network for behavioral health services for FEP members changed to the broader TRUST PPO provider network. No contracting or registration with New Directions Behavioral Health is required to serve these members if you’re a provider in the TRUST PPO network.

For additional information on FEP behavioral health changes on Jan. 1, 2015, see the November 2014 Record.
