Insurance coverage differs greatly from plan to plan, so we encourage you to submit a secure verification form online or verify benefits by phone at 855-416-8202. Although we are a “private pay, out of network” facility, many PPO insurance plans can and may cover our services (examples include Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Primera, and others). In some cases, we are able to accept your insurance plan as payment in full, while other plans may require a deposit or copayment if out of pocket maximums have not been met or if coverage of our services is limited. Even if our exact services are not expressly covered by your plan, we may be able to obtain a single case agreement with your provider that will cover the cost of treatment while a client at Morningside.

What does medical insurance typically cover?
Addiction treatment insurance policies differ in the type and amount of services they will cover. Most policies will cover one or more of the following services:
- Detox – Medically-assisted detox services are generally covered. These are conducted at a third-party location, where we will monitor each client’s progress prior to coming to Morningside.
- PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) – Clients attend groups full day of six days a week. This is primarily where clients start off in our program.
- Intensive Outpatient – Consists primarily of therapist sessions and groups throughout the week.
- Outpatient Treatment – The lowest level of supervision. Clients will attend groups and therapy session at a minimum of 3 hours a week. Coverage of this service varies greatly from plan to plan.
- Drug Screenings – Periodically administered to clients throughout their stay. Coverage for this service varies greatly from plan to plan.
Whether or not an insurance company covers these services is dependent on if they deem them as being medically necessary. In some cases, insurance providers will deem certain aspects of treatment as being more necessary than others, so they will cover the costs of those services.
What covers treatment at Morningside?
Our treatment program is covered by the out of network substance abuse benefits offered through private insurances. These services fall under behavioral health benefits, which are offered by many insurance providers.
How to determine if you’re covered:
- Call us and speak with an admissions coordinator. Ask them about what “levels of care” are covered for treatment (detox, assessment, outpatient etc.)
- Ask about out-of-network benefits
- Ask for information on copays and deductibles
- Ask what your maximum expense for out of pocket costs is
- Once your information is gathered, a billing representative will verify your benefits through your insurance company
Other payment options for treatment:
We have partnered with Prosper Healthcare Lending to help those whose insurance is unable to cover the costs of treatment. With this program, you can apply for financing for treatment from your computer and receive an instant pre-approval decision. You can find out more information on these options by visiting our Treatment Financing page. We also offer short-term payment plans as another option to finance your stay in treatment.
“When I was looking for treatment, I was broke and I didn’t have any money to pay for it. When I called Morningside, I found out that my insurance covered over half of the treatment costs. I couldn’t be more grateful. It was the best decision I ever made for myself.” – Bernette H., Morningside Alumni
