Before undergoing treatment, it’s natural to have concerns about insurance coverage. Going through insurance can seem like a tricky task to navigate. However, we assure you that Tricare insurance can help you receive the help that you deserve.
Our addiction counselors will also be able to help you understand your Tricare insurance benefits. We’ll speak to your provider and give you the rundown on what your insurance covers.
It’s helpful to understand some insurance vocabulary as you start the treatment process. Although we’ll take care of the insurance evaluation for you, it can still be useful to understand these terms. See below for the following Tricare insurance terms:
An insurance plan premium is a payment you make to your provider that keeps your plan active.
This is the most that you’ll have to pay for covered services within a plan year. After these costs are taken care of through deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, your insurance provider will cover the remaining costs.
This is when your policy begins. In other words, this is when it will be deemed as effective. You’ll get access to your benefits, which vary depending on your plan.
A deductible is an amount that must be paid for covered medical services before your provider begins paying.
A copayment, or copay, is a cost you may pay before you receive a medical service. For instance, let’s say you need to pay $2,000 for inpatient treatment at a treatment center. Your health insurance plan may pay half of that price, and then require a $500 copayment to cover the rest.
Tricare insurance covers mental health treatment. When treating addiction, it’s crucial to take into account the underlying roots of addiction. It is much more than a physical disease. Addiction affects an individual’s emotional and mental state as well.
Fortunately, with Tricare insurance, you’ll be able to reap the benefits of mental health treatment at our recovery center. We offer many evidence-based forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and group therapy.
Therapy will help you develop a toolkit of skills that will help you cope with stress and cravings. Each recovering individual will receive a unique combination of services that best suits their recovery needs.
Co-occurring disorders are when an individual has an addiction, as well as a mental illness. These are treated at our recovery center. If you require treatment for a mental health disorder and addiction, then you’ll require dual diagnosis treatment.
Dual diagnosis treatment targets co-occurring disorders through different methods. We treat disorders such as:

Tricare insurance takes care of detoxification, stabilization, and any medical complication costs when it comes to emergency treatment.
Non-emergency treatment is when an individual decides to look for addiction treatment on his or her own. This will require prior authorization from Tricare before coverage will be provided. Tricare insurance generally covers detox and stabilization, as well as treatment for any additional co-occurring disorders.
They will also cover outpatient treatment if an individual’s plan meets certain qualifications. An individual that is currently struggling with addiction, but not in need of hospitalization or around-the-clock care is the ideal candidate.
Tricare insurance coverage takes care of all the different types of outpatient programs. Standard outpatient treatment is the least intensive form of care. Other programs, such as intensive outpatient care, consist of scheduled treatment sessions several days per week.
A partial hospitalization program offers the most intensive outpatient program and requires daily treatment that lasts about four to eight hours.
