How UMR Covers Addiction Treatment — Plan Overview
UMR is a third-party administrator (TPA) and wholly-owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group that administers self-funded employer health plans. UMR clients typically have access to UnitedHealthcare’s provider networks, including behavioral health networks administered through Optum Behavioral Health (formerly UBH). Self-funded plans administered by UMR are governed by ERISA rather than state insurance law, but are still subject to MHPAEA federal parity requirements.
Behavioral health benefits for UMR-administered plans may be managed by Optum Behavioral Health or, for some plans, through a separate behavioral health carve-out. Our admissions team identifies the behavioral health administrator for your specific UMR plan and verifies coverage accordingly.

Mental Health Parity and UMR
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) requires most commercial health plans to cover substance use disorder treatment at the same level as comparable medical and surgical benefits.
UMR-administered ERISA plans are subject to MHPAEA federal parity requirements. ERISA plan appeals follow federal timelines and procedures, which differ somewhat from state-regulated plan appeals. Our billing team is experienced with ERISA-governed claims and appeals.
