Beacon Health offers behavioral health consultation services to physicians regarding URMBT members

Beacon Health offers Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan participating primary care physicians the opportunity to consult with a psychiatrist regarding patients who are members of the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust.

Beacon Health is the behavioral health manager for the URMBT.

Physicians can schedule a telephone consultation with a board-certified psychiatrist to discuss behavioral health conditions typically seen in a primary care setting, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and substance abuse. They can seek advice on the diagnosis, treatment and medication for these conditions.

Call the Beacon Health PCP hotline at 1-877-241-5575 to schedule a consultation Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern time. There is no cost for this service for either the physician or the patient.
