Before You Enroll: Key Insurance and Admission Questions
- Run a Verification of Benefits First — Before selecting a facility, have admissions run a VOB with your insurance carrier; this confirms coverage levels, remaining deductible, and in-network status
- Confirm BHA Licensure — Only BHA-licensed programs can legally bill Maryland insurance for addiction treatment; verify active licensure at bha.health.maryland.gov before signing any agreement
- Understand Your MHPAEA Rights — Federal parity law requires your insurer to cover SUD treatment at the same level as equivalent medical/surgical benefits; a denial can be appealed on parity grounds
- Clarify Prior Authorization Requirements — Residential and PHP levels almost always require prior auth; a reputable facility handles this process on your behalf before your admission date
- Confirm the ASAM Level Assigned — Not the Bed Available — The level of care must be driven by a clinical ASAM assessment, not by facility marketing or bed availability on a given day
