  • Contact and identifying information for you or for whomever you are trying to find help
  • Contact and identifying information for the primary insured (could be a parent,  spouse, or another)
  • It is helpful to have your insurance card ready, because we will need to know:

Insurance FAQs

Will my insurance cover treatment?
Most private insurance companies cover mental health and substance abuse at some level.  Give us a call, and we will be able to tell you exactly what your insurance company will and won’t cover.
Which insurance companies cover treatment?
Most private insurance companies will cover treatment, and all major insurances do. If you have coverage from Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United, Humana, etc., you will likely have some coverage if not complete coverage.
Will Medicaid/Medicare cover treatment?
While Medicaid and Medicare do reimburse for some substance abuse services, most private treatment centers do not accept these forms of insurance.
What is a CoPay?
A CoPay is a payment that your insurance company may require you to make to a treatment facility prior to the insurance company covering your treatment. This is similar to a copayment that you make when you pick up prescription medication or go to an appointment with your general practitioner.
What is a Deductible?
An insurance deductible is generally an annual minimum expense that the insured person must pay out-of-pocket to the treatment facility prior to their insurance company covering treatment.
What is the difference between CoPay and Deductible?
Insurance companies require you to pay a copay every time your insurance is billed for medical services, no matter how many times you use your insurance. If you go to the doctor once in a year, you will pay one copay. If you go to the doctor 50 times in a year, you will pay 50 copays.

Deductibles are different in that there is an annual amount that you have to cover, but after that amount is paid the insurance company will pick up the tab in full. So if you have a $5000 annual deductible and you have already visited a doctor or been to a hospital for any reason, your deductible may already be met for the year!
What if my insurance doesn’t cover treatment: Am I just out of luck?
NO. Even if your insurance doesn’t cover treatment or you don’t have insurance, we may be able to help. Treatment isn’t cheap, but give us a call at 1-800-610-4673. We may be able to help you find treatment for what you can afford.
How soon can I get into treatment?
Depending on your coverage, we may be able to get you into treatment as soon as today or tomorrow. We know what it is like to struggle with addiction or to watch your loved one struggle.

We know that getting into treatment as soon as possible is vital!

Get the process started, by calling, and we will let you know exactly how soon you can find help.
Will insurance cover my travel costs?
Insurance companies almost never cover the cost of travel to treatment. While travel costs can be high in today’s world, it is important to know that putting some distance between the addict and the environment that helps enable that addiction is absolutely necessary to help lay the foundation for a lifetime of recovery.
