St. Christopher's works with most major commercial insurance providers for addiction treatment services including medical detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programming, extended care, and co-occurring disorder treatment. While we cannot guarantee coverage without verification, most clients find that their insurance covers a meaningful portion of the cost of care.
Most major insurance plans are required under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act to provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment at levels comparable to other medical conditions. Coverage varies significantly by plan, which is why we verify benefits individually for every client before admission.
How Insurance Verification Works
We handle the insurance verification process from start to finish. Here is what to expect.
Step 1
Share your information
Call us directly at 225-387-1611. We will need your insurance card information including your member ID, group number, and the insurance company's provider services number, all of which are printed on your card.
Step 2
We contact your insurance provider
Our admissions team contacts your insurance provider directly to confirm your benefits, determine what level of care is covered, and identify any deductibles, copays, or out-of-pocket costs that may apply to your specific plan.
Step 3
We walk you through your coverage
Once we have your verification results, we contact you to explain exactly what your plan covers in plain language. We will tell you what is covered, what your estimated out-of-pocket costs are, and what your options are from there. No jargon. No pressure.
Step 4
You decide
Knowing what your insurance covers puts you in a position to make an informed decision. There is no obligation to admit. The verification process exists to give you clarity, not to lock you into anything.
Frequently Asked Questions About Insurance Coverage
Does insurance cover addiction treatment?
Most major insurance plans are required under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act to provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment at levels comparable to other medical conditions. This means many plans cover some or all of the cost of medical detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and related services. Coverage varies significantly by plan, which is why we verify benefits individually for every client.
What information do I need to verify my insurance?
You will need your insurance card, which includes your member ID number, group number, and the insurance company's provider services phone number. If you are verifying on behalf of a loved one, you will also need their date of birth and the name of the policy holder.
How long does insurance verification take?
In most cases our team can complete the verification process and get back to you within a few hours. If you call us directly, we can often provide preliminary benefit information during the same conversation.
What if my insurance does not cover the full cost of treatment?
Our admissions team will walk you through all available options if there is a gap between your coverage and the cost of care. We are committed to helping every man who needs treatment find a path to getting it.
Is the verification process confidential?
Yes. All information shared during the insurance verification process is kept strictly confidential. We do not share your information with anyone outside of the treatment and billing process.
What if I do not have insurance?
Contact our admissions team directly. We can discuss available options and help you understand what financial assistance may be available.
