If you have medical insurance through BCBS, mental health or substance use treatment may be covered as part of your plan. Our dedicated team of utilization review specialists is on hand to ensure that as much of your teen’s treatment as possible is covered by insurance. If Newport Academy is the best fit, based on your teen diagnosis and your Blue Cross Blue Shield mental health coverage options, we’ll find the right treatment location and begin the admissions process immediately.

BCBS behavioral health insurance includes coverage options for mental health treatment, including a range of Blue Cross Blue Shield RTCs for teens. Many BCBS plan participants choose to use their health insurance benefits to pay for teen residential treatment, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), or IOP (Intensive Outpatient Programs), which the company terms as BCBS therapy coverage. The amount of coverage will vary based on the policy and the location, as well as the type of care, the level of care, and the duration of care.

At Newport Academy, we’ll support you each step of the way, beginning with a mental health assessment to determine the appropriate level of care for your loved one. Our dedicated utilization review team will quickly verify your insurance benefits, at no charge. If your Blue Cross Blue Shield mental health insurance policy requires pre-certification or pre-authorization, our team will guide you through the process.

Treatment for qualifying mental health disorders, including teen substance use disorder, is typically offered on both an inpatient or outpatient basis. BCBS mental health coverage can typically cover both of these options. Insurance coverage for mental health and alcohol rehab will vary from policy to policy, but most Blue Cross Blue Shield behavioral health policies provide coverage for addiction treatment through a variety of in-network or out-of-network rehab or treatment centers.

We understand that combing through the coverage details of your Blue Cross Blue Shield behavioral health insurance policy can be challenging, time consuming, and intimidating. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. Newport Academy has a dedicated team of utilization review specialists to ensure that as much as possible of your teen’s treatment is paid for by your BCBS mental health coverage.

There is no cost for insurance verification at Newport Academy. Our top priority is to ensure premium and comprehensive treatment for your loved one and family, and our team of dedicated utilization review specialists has created a streamlined process that only takes a few minutes. The quickest way to verify whether your BCBS behavioral health insurance plan will cover treatment at Newport Academy is by giving our team a call 24/7 at 855-404-9816, or by completing our insurance verification form.

Our Newport Academy residential treatment programs serve children ages 7–11 and teens ages 12–18 and their families, providing comprehensive, personalized care. Each resident’s individualized treatment plan incorporates evidence-based clinical and experiential modalities, plus academic support, to create long-term, sustainable healing. Teens participate in individual, family, and group therapy, as well as Adventure Therapy, art and music therapy, yoga, and other approaches, with services and therapists that accept BCBS. We have Blue Cross Blue Shield residential treatment locations in Georgia, Minnesota, and Virginia, and we also work with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Rhode Island to optimize BCBS mental health coverage at our treatment options nationwide.

When searching for their BCBS therapy coverage, parents seeking teen mental healthcare typically wonder, Does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover depression treatment? Does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover PTSD? Does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover substance use issues? At Newport Academy, the answer to all those questions is yes, depending on location. Our industry-leading outcomes show that our approach successfully heals anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use disorder, and other mental health conditions and co-occurring issues, by uncovering and addressing clients’ underlying trauma and attachment wounds.
