At Century City Psychiatry, we’re proud to accept Carelon Behavioral Health Insurance (formerly Beacon Health Options), part of the Elevance Health family of companies. Our goal is to make quality, evidence-based mental health care accessible to residents of Century City, West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, and beyond. Under the supervision of Dr. Mike Mah, a board-certified psychiatrist and the clinic’s founder, our team of licensed clinicians provides both in-person and telepsychiatry services to ensure you receive compassionate, individualized care—wherever you are in California.
How Carelon Behavioral Health Helps You Access Care
Carelon Behavioral Health is one of the nation’s largest managed behavioral health organizations, connecting members across many Anthem Blue Cross and other Elevance Health plans to psychiatric and mental health providers nationwide. Their network connects members to vetted clinicians for care ranging from routine medication management to urgent psychiatric support. This matters in a state like California, where nearly 1 in 5 adults live with a mental health condition, yet many still face barriers to care.
By choosing a provider like Century City Psychiatry, you can access covered services such as:
- Psychiatric evaluations and diagnosis
- Medication management and deprescribing
- Therapy coordination and referrals
- Telepsychiatry sessions available statewide
- Behavioral health assessments and care coordination through Carelon’s network
Carelon simplifies the process of getting help, offering coverage that supports both in-person visits and virtual psychiatric care.
