According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, average annual spending on mental health care services increased by 20% between 2013 and 2020 (for enrollees with a mental health diagnosis).¹ By providing ways to help employees pay for mental health services, employers can help break down barriers to treatment.

Some voluntary insurance products include optional benefits to help pay for those treatment costs.

Critical Illness Insurance from Allstate Benefits can help close the gaps in major medical coverage while paying employees cash to use however they choose if they are diagnosed with a covered illness. Plus, optional riders are available to help employees seek help if needed, including inpatient treatment for mental or nervous disorders or substance abuse. Optional rider coverage is also available to help pay for participation in lifestyle enhancement programs such as stress management or online health assessments.
