What Is Partnership HealthPlan?
Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC) is a Medi-Cal managed care plan serving members in Northern California. PHC covers the treatment of mild to moderate mental health conditions through contracted providers like our practice.
Moderate and severe mental health needs are covered by your home county's Mental Health Plan. Your Primary Care Provider (PCP) or Beacon can arrange for medically necessary mental health care. Your PCP can provide some mental health care within their scope of practice, and Beacon can help you find a mental health provider near you.
PHC and Beacon work with county Mental Health Plans to coordinate your care. PHC or State Medi-Cal will cover drugs you need for your mental health condition.

Please note: Moderate and severe mental health needs are covered by your home county's Mental Health Plan. See Section 6 in your PHC Handbook to learn more about your mental health benefits, or speak with your PCP or Beacon Health Options.
