What We Accept — and What We Don't

We'd rather tell you up front than waste your time. Here's exactly where we stand:

✓ We work with
  • Commercial PPO plans (out-of-network benefits)
  • Employer-sponsored and self-funded plans
  • ACA marketplace and COBRA plans
  • TRICARE (we are an authorized provider)
  • Out-of-state plans, including BCBS BlueCard
✗ We do not accept
  • Medicare and Medicare Advantage
  • Medicaid, including Medicaid managed care
  • Plans with no out-of-network benefits (many HMO/EPO)

If you have Medicaid or Medicare, call anyway — we'll point you toward Georgia resources that can help.

We're Out-of-Network — Here's Why That Still Works

For commercial plans, West Georgia Wellness Center is an out-of-network provider. A lot of families hear that and assume treatment is off the table. Usually it isn't. Most PPO plans include out-of-network benefits that can be applied toward residential treatment, and your out-of-pocket maximum still caps what you pay in a plan year.

What we can't do is tell you a percentage before we check — out-of-network coverage varies entirely by policy, and any facility promising you a number before verifying is guessing. What we can do is call your insurer, get the real figures in writing, and explain them plainly. Learn how out-of-network benefits work →

Federal Law Protects Your Behavioral Health Coverage

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and the Affordable Care Act, plans that provide mental health and substance use benefits cannot impose stricter limits on them than on comparable medical or surgical care. If your plan covers hospitalization for a physical illness, it must cover inpatient behavioral health care under comparable terms.

This applies to most private employer-sponsored plans and individual and small-group market plans. Our team knows how to work within these protections — and how to raise a parity complaint if an insurer applies tougher criteria to behavioral health than to medical care.

What Treatment May Be Covered

Coverage depends on your plan and the level of care clinically indicated. Our team determines the appropriate level of care, then verifies what that specific program may cost you:

  • Medical detox — supervised withdrawal management for alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines; often covered when medically necessary
  • Residential substance abuse treatment — 24-hour structured care, typically covered based on medical necessity and authorized days
  • Residential mental health treatment — inpatient-level care for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder
  • Dual diagnosis treatment — addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions treated together
  • Alcohol rehab and drug rehab, including medication-assisted treatment options
  • Therapy and psychiatric services — CBT, DBT, EMDR, trauma therapy, medication management

    We Contact Your Insurer

    We verify your behavioral health benefits, out-of-network coverage, deductible status, co-insurance, and authorization requirements — directly with the payer.

  • 3

    We Explain It Plainly

    You get what your plan covers, your estimated out-of-pocket responsibility, and next steps — no jargon, no pressure, no charge. Usually same day.

What Your Coverage Amount Depends On

  • Your plan type — PPO plans generally carry out-of-network benefits; many HMO and EPO plans don't
  • Your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum — if you've already paid toward the deductible this year, coverage may start sooner
  • Medical necessity — insurers require documented clinical need; our team prepares that documentation thoroughly
  • Prior authorization — most plans require pre-approval for residential care; we manage that process
  • Level of care — detox, residential substance abuse, and residential mental health are separate benefit categories for most insurers

Verifying before admission removes the financial guesswork — and it's the step that keeps people from delaying care they need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does insurance cover drug and alcohol rehab? +
Often, yes. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the ACA, most commercial plans must cover substance use and mental health treatment no more restrictively than comparable medical care. What your plan pays depends on your benefits, deductible, and medical necessity — which we verify free.
Are you in-network with my insurance? +
For commercial plans, no — West Georgia Wellness Center is an out-of-network provider. That doesn't mean not covered: many PPO plans include out-of-network benefits usable toward residential treatment. TRICARE is the exception, where we are an authorized provider. We confirm exactly how your plan applies at no cost.
Do you accept Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or Medicaid? +
No. We do not accept Medicare, Medicare Advantage, or Medicaid (including Medicaid managed care) for residential treatment. We work with commercial and employer-sponsored plans, plus TRICARE. If you have Medicaid or Medicare, we're glad to point you toward Georgia resources that can help.
What if my insurance provider isn't listed? +
Your plan may still work. The insurers listed are our most common payers, but what matters is whether your specific plan includes behavioral health benefits with out-of-network coverage — not whether the logo appears here. Call 470-625-2466 and we'll look up your exact plan.
What information do I need to verify my insurance? +
Your insurance card (member ID and group number), the policyholder's date of birth, and the best phone number to reach you. That's enough for us to contact your insurer directly.
Can you verify insurance for someone else? +
Yes. Family members frequently start this process. We can verify benefits with the policy information, though certain protected details may require the member's consent — we'll explain what applies.
What if my deductible is high or coverage is limited? +
You may still have meaningful out-of-network coverage once the deductible is met, and your out-of-pocket maximum caps annual spending. If a balance remains, we offer financing through M-Lend Finance and Prosper Medical Loans. See our financing options.
