If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, finding the right treatment program is a crucial first step. You might be looking into different options, and a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) might stand out as a good fit. But before making any decisions, it’s essential to know if your insurance, particularly UMR, will help cover the costs. This is where things can get a bit confusing, but don’t worry; we’re here to help guide you through it. At Asana Recovery, we understand that navigating insurance can be stressful. That’s why we’re committed to making the process as smooth as possible, allowing you to focus on what truly matters – your recovery.

If you’re unsure about your coverage, we’re here to assist. Feel free to Contact Us today. You can also verify your insurance online, or explore Private Pay and Payment Options.
Let’s start with the basics. A partial hospitalization program, or PHP, is a structured addiction treatment option that’s more intensive than regular outpatient care but less restrictive than inpatient or residential rehab. Imagine it as a bridge between these two levels of care. Instead of living at a rehab facility 24/7, you attend treatment sessions for several hours a day, several days a week. Then, you return home or to a sober living environment each night. Think of it as going to a ‘day program’ for your recovery. This way, you can still keep some of your daily routines while getting the help you need. It’s a good option for people who need more structure than outpatient programs offer but don’t require around-the-clock supervision. PHP can be incredibly beneficial. PHP benefits include the ability to maintain some independence, flexibility in your daily life, and the opportunity to practice what you’re learning in real-world scenarios while still being in a supportive environment. It provides a safe space to tackle triggers and develop coping skills without the isolation that sometimes comes with inpatient care. It’s often recommended for people stepping down from a residential program or for those needing more support than traditional outpatient settings.
Understanding insurance coverage for addiction treatment can feel like trying to solve a puzzle. Generally, many health insurance plans, including those provided by employers or purchased through the marketplace, offer some form of coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatments, such as the partial hospitalization program. However, exactly how much they cover and under what terms varies significantly from plan to plan. It’s important to understand that no two plans are exactly alike. Factors influencing whether or not your insurance covers PHP can include the specific plan you have, the type of coverage (HMO, PPO, etc.), whether your plan includes out-of-network benefits, and any deductible or co-pay you may have. For instance, a plan with a lower premium might have a higher deductible or co-pay, which means you’ll pay more out-of-pocket before the insurance benefits kick in. Insurance companies also may require prior authorization or pre-approval before you start any treatment. They also have an authorization process before they cover the treatment, and not doing so can lead to denial of your claims. That’s why it’s crucial to clarify the specifics of your plan with your provider or with an expert like us at Asana Recovery.
UMR is a third-party administrator that processes health insurance claims for various self-funded employer health plans. It’s not an insurance company itself but rather a company that manages health plans on behalf of other organizations. Because of this structure, UMR’s coverage policies are determined by the employers who are their clients. This can make getting a clear-cut answer regarding your UMR PHP coverage a little tricky. How UMR typically handles PHP coverage depends on the specific plan your employer chose. Some plans may cover a significant portion of PHP costs, while others may only cover a small percentage, or might not cover it at all. Typically, UMR will require authorization, a process where your treatment facility communicates with the insurance company to confirm that the treatment is medically necessary and meets the criteria for coverage. This process often includes providing details of your diagnosis, the recommended treatment plan, and how long you will need treatment. If you don’t take the authorization process seriously, you may find your claim is denied, which means you will have to pay out of pocket for your treatment. This is why it’s so important to verify coverage details before beginning a program. It helps you avoid unexpected financial hurdles when you are trying to get better.
The best way to confirm your UMR PHP coverage is to contact them directly. Start by calling the customer service number on your insurance card. Have your policy information ready when you call to make the process easier. Ask specific questions about your coverage for PHP and take detailed notes of the answers you get. This information will be important for your records, and you can always refer to it as needed. Some questions you might ask include: What percentage of PHP costs does my plan cover? Do I have a deductible or co-pay for PHP? Is prior authorization required? What specific information do you need for authorization? Make sure you get the name of the person you are speaking to and a reference number for the conversation. This helps to track if anything needs to be referenced later. Additionally, gather any necessary documentation like your insurance card and any relevant medical information related to your substance use disorder. You may also need to provide basic demographic information such as your name, address, date of birth, and social security number. In some cases, you may need a referral from your primary care physician. If you are unsure, it’s a good idea to ask your doctor. The better prepared you are, the smoother the insurance verification process will be.

We believe that family involvement is critical to your recovery process, and we also offer Couples therapy. If you’re struggling with co-occurring mental health issues like depression or anxiety, we offer Dual Diagnosis Treatment to address both conditions simultaneously. It’s important to heal the whole person to truly achieve long-term recovery. We also offer specialized programs like Pet-Friendly Rehab, because we understand that for many, the companionship of a pet can be incredibly healing.
