What Is PEHP Insurance?
PEHP stands for Public Employees Health Program. It’s a Utah-based benefits program that provides health coverage to public employees and their families, including:
- Utah state government employees.
- Public school teachers and district staff.
- Higher education employees.
- State agency workers.
- Eligible family members of the above.
If you or a family member works in public service in Utah, PEHP is likely your insurance, and that coverage can be applied toward mental health services at Utah Family Therapy.
What PEHP Covers at Utah Family Therapy
PEHP outpatient mental health benefits that apply to our services, including:
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, OCD, pornography, and more. Most PEHP plans cover individual therapy with a standard copay.
Couples Counseling
Whether you’re navigating communication problems, recovering from betrayal, or preparing for marriage, PEHP covers couples therapy at Utah Family Therapy.
Family Therapy
PEHP benefits extend to family sessions — helping parents, teens, and families work through difficult seasons together.
Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
For those who need more than weekly therapy, our Mental Health IOP offers structured group and individual sessions several times per week. Most PEHP plans cover IOP — call us to verify your specific coverage and out-of-pocket cost before starting.
Understanding Your PEHP Benefits
PEHP offers several plan types, and coverage details vary. Here’s what to ask when you call us or your benefits office:
- What is my deductible, and has it been met?
- What is my copay for outpatient mental health therapy?
- Does my plan cover Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)?
- Is Utah Family Therapy in-network under my PEHP plan?
You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Our team will verify your PEHP benefits directly and walk you through what you’re covered for before you ever sit down with a therapist.
We Understand the Pressures of Public Service
Teachers, state workers, and public employees carry a weight that doesn’t get talked about enough. You spend your days holding space for others — students, clients, the public — and often put your own needs last.
You deserve the same level of care you give everyone else.
Our team at Utah Family Therapy doesn’t just process insurance and schedule appointments. We genuinely connect with the people we work with. You’re not a file number here. You’re a person, and we treat you that way.
We Also Serve Your Family
PEHP coverage often extends to your spouse and children. That means your family members may also be covered for mental health services at Utah Family Therapy.
If you have a teenager who is struggling with anxiety, depression, school stress, social challenges, or something you can’t quite name, our therapists work with adolescents 13 and older. Individual therapy is available in-person and online. Teen IOP is in-person only.
