Prioritize your mental health with MESSA
Comprehensive mental health care, on your terms
Supporting students, schools and communities is incredibly rewarding — but it can also take a toll. At MESSA, we know that public school employees often experience higher levels of stress, anxiety and burnout. That’s why every MESSA health plan includes comprehensive mental health support designed just for you.
Behavioral health care
Whether you prefer to speak with someone in person or from the comfort and convenience of home, we offer flexible options to meet your needs.
With all MESSA health plans, sessions with an in-network counselor are covered just like a medical office visit. Your plan covers both in-person mental health appointments, as well as telehealth services with payable providers. Your plan’s deductible, copayment and/or coinsurance apply.
For full details, please check your plan booklet or call our Member Service Center at 800-336-0013.
Virtual support
MESSA members can also access several virtual programs for mental wellness, offering care anytime, anywhere.
Teladoc Mental Health
Connect with a licensed therapist or board-certified psychiatrist via the Teladoc Health app. Appointments are available during evenings and weekends. Appointments are subject to deductible, copayment and/or coinsurance.
MyStressTools
This digital toolkit helps you identify and manage stress through a personalized experience. Start with a brief “Stress Profiler” and receive customized strategies and resources to support your wellness journey — at no cost to MESSA members and dependents.
Calm Health app
The Calm Health app offers everyday support for your mental and emotional well-being — and it’s completely free for MESSA members and covered dependents age 13 and older.
What you’ll find in the app:
- Sleep support
- Meditations and soundscapes
- Music to relax
- Mindfulness videos
- Daily guided content
To get started with your Calm Health journey, you’ll need the subscriber ID from your MESSA card. If prompted, use the access code bcbsmi.
Note: The Calm Health app and the subscription-based Calm app are both owned by Calm Inc., but they are different products. Make sure you download the Calm Health app to get free access.
