MetroPlusHealth Psychiatrists and Therapists in Brooklyn
Good Health Psychiatric Services accepts MetroPlusHealth, New York City’s public health plan, for psychiatric and therapy care in Brooklyn and by telehealth. MetroPlus covers New Yorkers through several programs, including Medicaid, the Essential Plan, Child Health Plus, and Medicare Advantage, and most members pay little or nothing for covered mental health care. Your MetroPlus mental health coverage at Good Health includes psychiatric evaluations, medication management, individual therapy, and treatment for depression that has not responded to medication.
MetroPlus is owned by NYC Health + Hospitals, but its network also includes private practices like ours, so you do not need to go to a city hospital clinic for mental health care. Our board-certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and licensed therapists see MetroPlus members at our Downtown Brooklyn office and by telehealth anywhere in New York State, often on the same day or the next.

Mental Health Services Covered by MetroPlus at Good Health
Psychiatric Evaluation
Treatment begins with a full psychiatric evaluation with a board-certified psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. Your clinician goes over your symptoms, history, and any past treatment, looks for related conditions, and builds a treatment plan with you. All MetroPlus programs include behavioral health benefits, so this evaluation is covered as outpatient mental health care.
Medication Management for MetroPlus Members
If medication is part of your treatment, a psychiatrist who takes MetroPlus prescribes it and sees you for follow-up visits to track your progress, adjust doses, and manage side effects. These MetroPlus covered psychiatry visits are billed as outpatient care. Medicaid members usually fill prescriptions through NYRx, the state Medicaid pharmacy program, while Medicare Advantage members use their plan's drug coverage.
Therapy Covered by MetroPlusHealth
Good Health's therapists who accept MetroPlus 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, depending on your needs. MetroPlus covers outpatient individual therapy across its Medicaid, Essential Plan, Child Health Plus, and Medicare plans.
Does MetroPlus 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. MetroPlusHealth announced that TMS became a covered benefit on November 1, 2025, for members 18 and older with treatment-resistant depression, following New York State Medicaid's new policy. Good Health handles the prior authorization before treatment begins.
Spravato (Esketamine) with MetroPlus Coverage
Spravato is an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression, or with major depressive disorder and active suicidal thoughts. Each dose is given in our Brooklyn office, and a clinician monitors you for the full observation period. MetroPlus can cover Spravato when prior authorization and medical necessity criteria are met, and our team confirms how your plan covers it and submits the request.
Coverage depends on your MetroPlus program and active enrollment. Good Health confirms your benefits before your visit so you know what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Good Health Psychiatric Services accepts MetroPlusHealth plans for psychiatric evaluations, medication management, therapy, and qualifying advanced treatments. Since MetroPlus only covers care from in-network providers, seeing a practice in its network is what keeps your visits covered. Our team confirms your plan and eligibility at no charge before your appointment.
No. MetroPlusHealth is owned by NYC Health + Hospitals, but its network includes more than 34,000 providers across the city, including private practices. You can see a psychiatrist or therapist at Good Health in Downtown Brooklyn, or by telehealth, and your care is billed to MetroPlus like any other in-network visit.
Good Health works with MetroPlus Medicaid Managed Care, Essential Plan, Child Health Plus, and Medicare Advantage plans. Your costs depend on the program: Medicaid members usually pay nothing for covered mental health visits, while Essential Plan and Medicare Advantage members may have small copays. Our team tells you exactly what applies to your plan before you book.
On MetroPlus Medicaid, Essential Plan, and Child Health Plus, you can usually book outpatient mental health care without a referral from your primary care provider. MetroPlus Medicare Advantage plans are HMOs, so referral rules may apply for some specialist services. Our front desk checks the rules for your plan when verifying your benefits.
MetroPlusHealth only serves residents of the five boroughs, so moving outside the city usually means you will need to switch to another plan through NY State of Health or your local Medicaid office. Until your coverage changes, keep us updated on your address. Good Health accepts many other plans as well, so you may be able to continue care with us under your new coverage.
