New name, same support for your emotional health 

If you already have the Ginger app, it will look a little different than before. Ginger is now called Headspace Care. You’ll still have access to the same tools and resources — so you can get support in the moments you need it most. 

 

If you believe you have an emergency medical condition, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital. For the complete definition of an emergency medical condition, please refer to your Evidence of Coverage or other coverage documents.
