Rehab Program Types — What Your Insurance Covers

- Partial Hospitalization (Level 2.5) — A standard covered benefit under MHPAEA on most PPO and HMO plans; typically requires prior authorization and periodic concurrent clinical reviews
- Intensive Outpatient (Level 2.1) — The most widely covered outpatient level; most plans approve 20–30 sessions with minimal prior authorization burden
- Dual Diagnosis Programs — Covered simultaneously under both mental health and SUD benefits; federal parity law prohibits applying more restrictive limits than for comparable medical or surgical benefits
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) — Pharmacy benefit covered by most PPO/HMO plans; Suboxone (buprenorphine) and Vivitrol (naltrexone) typically processed at standard Rx copay rates

How to Choose a Rehab Center in Washington
- Verify BHSIA Licensure — Confirm active state license before enrollment at dshs.wa.gov/bhsia; unlicensed programs cannot legally bill insurance and may not meet minimum clinical standards
- Check TJC or CARF Accreditation — Joint Commission or CARF accreditation signals compliance with national quality benchmarks beyond minimum state licensing requirements
- Require a Formal ASAM Assessment — All admissions should include a six-dimensional ASAM evaluation to determine appropriate level of care; facilities that skip this step are a red flag
- Confirm MAT Availability — If opioid or alcohol use disorder is involved, verify the facility prescribes buprenorphine, naltrexone (Vivitrol), or methadone per SAMHSA guidelines
- Request a Verification of Benefits (VOB) — Ask admissions to run a VOB against your insurance before you commit; in-network facilities significantly reduce out-of-pocket cost
