What you need to know
If you or a family member is struggling, know that you’re not alone. BAE Systems offers several resources to help you, whether you’re going through a tough time or just need someone to listen.
Behavioral health care at your convenience
Dealing with mental health or substance use issues can be a challenge. With Cigna, you don’t have to go it alone. Receive quality care when, where, and how it works best for you through telephonic consultations or face-to-face, video-based services on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
If you’re a national Cigna medical plan member
Speak with a health coach
National Cigna medical plan members can receive free and confidential support for mental health issues and substance use concerns from licensed clinicians and counselors on Cigna’s Personal Health Team. Call 1 800 530 1314 to connect with someone today.
Access behavioral health outpatient care
If you have a Cigna medical plan, you can access behavioral health outpatient care through your Cigna medical plan or the Confide Behavioral Health NavigatorSM/EAP. If you choose to access this service through your Cigna medical plan, your out-of-pocket cost is the same as a behavioral health outpatient office visit.* No prior authorization is required.
Video-based counseling and virtual support
Cigna behavioral health also provides access to video-based counseling through Cigna’s network of providers. Licensed counselors and psychiatrists can diagnose, treat and prescribe most medications for nonemergency behavioral/mental health conditions, including addiction, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, and stress. To find a provider and schedule an appointment, visit myCigna.com. Go to “Find Care & Costs” and enter “Virtual counselor” under “Doctor by Type.” Or call the number on the back of your ID card 24/7.
You can also access virtual support through Headspace Care.
Connect with a coach via Headspace Care
Cigna members and dependents 18 years or older can access Headspace Care to virtually connect with a certified coach via text or the app to help manage anxiety, depression and daily stressors 24/7/365. If needed, a coach can add a licensed therapist or psychiatrist to the care team within days.
Headspace also offers everyday mental health support, including meditation and mindfulness exercises to guide you through life’s challenges.
