Medicaid and Mental Health - We Can Help
WellPower is proud to accept Medicaid as a health insurance option. Medicaid covers a wide range of costs associated with behavioral health services, including outpatient therapy, psychiatry and medication-assisted treatment for alcohol and other substances.
As a community mental health center, WellPower understands that accessing mental and behavioral health care can be difficult. We can help you navigate and understand your Medicaid coverage, access the wealth of services we offer and find your path to recovery.
If you have Medicaid and want to begin services with WellPower, call our Access Center at (303) 504-7900 or click here to learn more about mental and behavioral health services.
Have Medicaid? Here's what you can expect at WellPower
WellPower provides a full spectrum of outpatient behavioral health care, but what does that mean for the people we serve who have Medicaid insurance?
You can expect to have access to our complete range of services, from "typical" mental health options like therapy, psychiatry and medication management to filling more complex needs, such as case management and residential housing.
Additionally, WellPower offers programs to support education and employment, provide access to basic needs like food and clothing, as well as on-site pharmacies, classes, groups and so much more.
When you use your Medicaid insurance with WellPower, these programs cost you no money because Medicaid pays for your access to them.

What do Community Mental Health Centers like WellPower do?
As a Community Mental Health Center (CMHC), WellPower provides all sorts of behavioral health services to the people in our community who need it most. We operate as a "safety net," ensuring that people who need support with their mental health can get the right services to lead fulfilling lives.
For many of the most vulnerable members in our community, the social determinants of health - like housing, healthy food, physical health and of course, mental health - are difficult to manage in the face of challenge after challenge. At WellPower, we understand that recovery is extremely difficult when basic needs aren't met, so we do our very best to help the people we serve find stability and long-term recovery, however that looks for them.
WellPower also knows that people have a wide variety of needs and busy schedules, so we try to make accessing services with us as easy as possible. We offer a large portion of our services, including therapy and psychiatry, online through telehealth appointments.
How does that work with Medicaid?
When a person receiving services with WellPower has Medicaid insurance, they have access to our widest range of services because Medicaid covers the widest range of costs per person.
For example, if you want to access therapy and psychiatry for yourself, family counseling for you and your children, employment support and community classes, you can do all of that using your Medicaid insurance at WellPower.
