Fidelis Care Psychiatrists and Therapists in Brooklyn and Across New York
Good Health Psychiatric Services accepts Fidelis Care for psychiatric and therapy care, in person in Brooklyn and by telehealth anywhere in New York State. Fidelis Care is one of the largest health plans in the state, covering members through Medicaid Managed Care, Child Health Plus, the Essential Plan, and Medicare Advantage plans sold as Wellcare By Fidelis Care. Your Fidelis Care mental health coverage at Good Health includes psychiatric evaluations, medication management, individual therapy, and treatment for depression that has not responded to medication.

Mental Health Services Covered by Fidelis Care at Good Health
Psychiatric Evaluation
Care starts with a full psychiatric evaluation with a board-certified psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, in our Brooklyn office or by video. Your clinician reviews your symptoms, history, and past treatment, screens for related conditions, and maps out a treatment plan with you. Every Fidelis Care plan includes behavioral health benefits, so this evaluation is covered as outpatient mental health care.
Medication Management with a Fidelis Care In-Network Psychiatrist
If medication is recommended, a Fidelis Care in-network psychiatrist or nurse practitioner prescribes it and sees you for follow-ups to check your progress, change the dose when needed, and manage side effects. These Fidelis covered psychiatry visits work well by telehealth for members outside the city. Medicaid members fill prescriptions through NYRx, the state Medicaid pharmacy program, and Wellcare members use their plan's drug coverage.
Therapy Covered by Fidelis Care
Good Health's therapists who take Fidelis Care include licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), and psychologists. Therapy may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, solution-focused therapy, or another evidence-based approach suited to your goals. Fidelis covers outpatient individual therapy across its plans, and sessions can be held in person or by video.
Does Fidelis Care Cover TMS Therapy?
Yes, for adults who meet the clinical criteria. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment for major depressive disorder that has not responded to antidepressants. Since November 1, 2025, New York State Medicaid policy has required Medicaid managed care plans, including Fidelis Care, to cover TMS for adults with treatment-resistant depression. TMS is given in person at our Brooklyn office, and Good Health handles the prior authorization.
Spravato (Esketamine) with Fidelis Care
Spravato is an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression, or with major depressive disorder and active suicidal thoughts. It is given only in person at our Brooklyn office, where a clinician monitors you through the full observation period. Fidelis Care can cover Spravato when prior authorization and medical necessity criteria are met, and our team confirms your coverage and submits the request.
Benefits depend on your Fidelis Care plan and active enrollment. Good Health checks your coverage before your visit so you know what to expect.
