Insurance Verification FAQs

How do I know if my insurance covers addiction treatment?

The best way to determine coverage is to contact the admissions team or submit an insurance verification request. Coverage varies by provider, policy type, and treatment needs.

Does insurance cover the full cost of treatment?

Some plans cover treatment fully, while others require a deductible, copay, or coinsurance. The admissions team provides a detailed breakdown of costs once insurance verification is complete.
