PERSONALIZE YOUR LANGUAGE
Spring Health’s provider network is comprised of 15 unique racial backgrounds speaking 28+ languages. In addition, 28% specialize in LGBTQ+ support. When you search for a provider, you’ll see tags that note what language they speak and can filter by desired language for the most-common options. You can also speak with your personalized Care Navigator, who will help you find a provider who best fits your needs.
IT’S FREE AND CONFIDENTIAL
There is no cost for you or your covered dependents age 6 and older to use Spring Health services. Six therapy sessions per person, per year, are also included at no cost but additional therapy sessions will be paid by the employee. If you’re enrolled in the Abbott HIP PPO or Traditional PPO medical plan, additional therapy beyond the six free sessions will be considered in-network. Spring Health interactions are 100% confidential and your personal details will not be shared with Abbott. Abbott will only be provided with group aggregate reporting to understand how participants are using the program.
