Effective January 1, 2022, Affinity by Molina Healthcare will be managing your behavioral health benefits, instead of Beacon Options. Please click here for the notice that was mailed to all Affinity by Molina Healthcare members with details. 

Affinity provides Mental Health and Substance Abuse services through Beacon Health Options, a behavioral health managed care company. Although all Affinity programs have behavioral health benefits, the benefit packages do differ in their coverage of inpatient and outpatient care. Contact Beacon Health Options at 800.974.6831 for additional information about a particular Member's Behavioral Health Benefit.

Services are provided, as follows:

Members may self-refer for Behavioral Health services to an In Network Provider. No Primary Care Provider referral is needed.

Members may request Behavioral Health Services by calling the Beacon Health Options toll free number for a referral, or by going on the Beacon Health Options website www.beaconhealthoptions.com or by contacting any of the participating providers listed in the Affinity Provider Directory (Coming Soon).

If you believe there is an emergency, you do not have to call Beacon Health Options. Members should dial 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room.

A Beacon Health Options Clinician is available at 800.974.6831, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Beacon Health Options provides behavioral health and substance abuse services. Beacon Health Options' network specialists develop and deliver services for our Members.
