Looking for treatment on SAMHSA? Be mindful of these 3 things

1. For all in-network facilities, Medicare covers at 100% after your deductible

Most people insured with Medicare don’t realize that after their deductible is met, Medicare covers the entirety of the rehab program, if the facility is contracted with Medicare. This is a huge benefit, as most insurance companies require copay percentages.

2. Not all facilities that take Medicare are listed on SAMHSA 

A facility may be contracted with Medicare and not be listed on the database. To tell if a facility is contracted, ask the facility if they accept Medicare, and if they say they do, ask for a verification of benefits in writing. Salt Lake Behavioral Health has a 30-day Substance Abuse program and is in-network with Medicare. 

3. SAMHSA targets programs nearest you

SAMHSA is set up so that patients are shown the programs nearest to them geographically, and not necessarily the programs with the best outcomes or patient satisfaction rates. When looking into a program, make sure to ask the facility for these details. At Salt Lake Behavioral Health, 94% of patients agree or strongly agree that overall they were very satisfied with their treatment.
