Insurance and cost for IOP in Lubbock
The Stages telehealth page states that its programs are accepted by most major insurance carriers and that Stages offers affordable program packages if insurance isn't an option. Whether your plan covers IOP, and what you'll pay, depends on your specific plan. This site doesn't list insurers or promise coverage.
Questions to ask about your coverage
- Does my plan cover intensive outpatient treatment for substance use, and is it in-network?
- Does it cover IOP delivered by telehealth the same way as in-person IOP?
- Is prior authorization required, and who requests it?
- What is my remaining deductible, and what copay or coinsurance applies per session or per week?
- Is there a limit on the number of sessions or weeks?
