What these coverage lines mean for you

Medicaid is not named on this listing. That is not a refusal. Some programs bill Medicaid without saying so on a public profile, and others stopped taking it after the profile was written. If you have Medicaid, ask the program outright, and ask what they charge if they cannot bill it.

The listing names five private carriers, including Aetna, Anthem and BlueCross BlueShield. A carrier list is not a network contract. In network and out of network change what you pay, sometimes by thousands of dollars, so ask whether they are in network for your exact plan and get the answer in writing.

Self pay is named. Ask for the price in writing, what it covers, what it does not, and whether they take payment over time.

  • Which medications can you prescribe, and will you carry on one someone already takes?
  • Which states are your clinicians licensed in, and does the first visit have to be in person?
  • Are you in network for my exact plan, and what would I owe if you are not?
  • Are young people kept in separate groups from adults, and how is school work handled?
  • Does the State department of health accreditation cover this address and this program, and when was it renewed?
  • Is there an opening now, and if not, how long is the wait and what should someone do meanwhile?

Twelve questions to ask any program

What to confirm directly with admissions

Even on a verified profile, three details depend on your individual clinical needs and today's schedule:

  • Real-time bed and group openings change daily. Call admissions directly to confirm same-day or upcoming availability.
  • Your individual insurance plan's deductible, co-insurance, and prior authorization requirements depend on your specific policy and member ID.
  • Clinical placement in detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or virtual levels of care requires an intake assessment with the program's medical or clinical team.
