Does Pine Tree Recovery Center Accept Independence BCBS?

Yes. Independence BCBS is one of the many major insurance carriers we accept to help you mitigate your out-of-pocket expenses. Every Independence BCBS health care plan includes substance abuse treatment, whether through an inpatient or partial hospitalization program, or an intensive outpatient program. These services are covered under your Independence BCBS Behavioral Health Care benefits. As an essential health benefit, there are no annual or lifetime spending limits on your Behavioral Health Coverage, and benefits must be just as comprehensive as your coverage for any other medical or surgical service or procedure.

Will Independence BCBS Cover the Entirety of My Treatment?

Your Independence BCBS plan may be an HMO, PPO or EPO plan through your employer, an individual marketplace plan, or you may have Independence BCBS coverage through Medicare or Medicaid. Deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts differ for each of these plans and may also vary depending upon the state in which your plan originated.

Each of the above factors are considered when determining your out-of-pocket expenses. Your Independence BCBS benefits may cover some, or all, of the costs associated with detoxification treatment and related medications, as well as some or all of the cost of therapeutic services as an inpatient or outpatient client. These services may include group and personal therapy, family therapy, and other aftercare programs.

Depending on your specific policy, substance abuse recovery services may require pre-authorization. Pine Tree Recovery Center can assist you should you need to provide documentation that includes referrals from your primary care provider, or your history of past substance abuse treatment or mental health care.
