Penn Behavioral Health provides behavioral health benefit management services to the University of Pennsylvania and its Health System. As a service to the members of the plans managed by Penn Behavioral Health, this website contains information that is helpful in understanding and using this benefit.
Privacy & Confidentiality
The success of any benefit administration program depends on building member confidence and trust. Individual and family privacy and confidentiality are paramount to PENN Behavioral Health. Our daily goal is to meet or exceed state and federal confidentiality requirements*.
Participation in PENN Behavioral Health Program will not jeopardize job security or opportunities for promotion. Only authorized PENN professionals have access to benefit records – they are not made part of the employer’s personnel files. Confidentiality has its limits in the behavioral health setting. Providers must take appropriate action if the participant is judged to be in imminent danger – or a potential threat to others.
