The simplest way to verify your Blue Shield coverage is to call our admissions team at (888) 795-0895. With your permission and insurance information, we’ll contact Blue Shield directly to determine your specific benefits for addiction treatment services. This verification process typically takes 24-48 hours, after which we’ll provide a detailed explanation of your coverage, including any deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance amounts that might apply. We can also check whether your plan has specific requirements for authorization or referrals. This complimentary verification service helps you understand precisely what your Blue Shield plan will cover before making treatment decisions.
If your Blue Shield plan offers limited coverage for the needed treatment, we’ll discuss several options to make care accessible. First, we can explore whether adjustments to your treatment plan increase coverage while still meeting your clinical needs. Second, we offer flexible payment arrangements for out-of-pocket expenses, including payment plans that distribute costs over time. Third, we can investigate whether you qualify for additional assistance through specialized financing programs for healthcare services. We aim to find a workable solution that allows you to receive appropriate treatment regardless of insurance limitations. Financial constraints shouldn’t prevent anyone from accessing quality addiction care.
Blue Shield typically authorizes treatment for specific periods based on medical necessity criteria. Initial authorizations often cover shorter periods (5-14 days for inpatient rehab), with extensions possible based on clinical progress and continued necessity. Our treatment team monitors your progress and communicates regularly with Blue Shield, providing clinical documentation to support continued care when appropriate. While Blue Shield may not initially authorize the entire recommended treatment duration, our experienced staff works diligently to secure coverage for the proper length of stay based on your specific needs and response to treatment. This ongoing authorization process helps ensure you receive care for the time needed to establish a solid foundation for recovery.
Blue Shield of California uses established clinical criteria to determine the medical necessity for addiction treatment services. These assessments typically evaluate factors including severity of substance use, withdrawal risk, previous treatment history, presence of co-occurring medical or psychiatric conditions, and functional impairment levels. Blue Shield also considers the appropriate level of care needed, from medical detox to various treatment intensities. Our clinical team conducts thorough assessments and provides comprehensive documentation addressing these factors to establish the medical necessity for recommended services. We understand Blue Shield’s specific requirements and ensure our clinical documentation thoroughly addresses their criteria, optimizing the likelihood of coverage approval for the services you need.
Yes, continuing care is an essential component of long-term recovery success. Suppose you have an established relationship with a Blue Shield-covered therapist. In that case, we can coordinate with them during discharge planning to ensure a smooth transition back to their care after completing treatment at Ojai Recovery. If you don’t have an existing therapist, our discharge planning team can help identify Blue Shield-covered providers in your community who specialize in addiction recovery. We can assist with scheduling initial appointments before you leave our facility. Additionally, we offer outpatient services that may be covered by your Blue Shield plan, providing continuity of care with the same treatment team. We aim to ensure you have appropriate support systems in place as you transition from our program to your community.
