Is court-ordered treatment covered?
Not necessarily. Just because treatment is ordered by the court doesn’t guarantee it will be covered under your particular benefit plan. Like all mental health or substance abuse treatment, court-ordered treatment must meet medical necessity standards in order to be covered by your benefit plan. Call us at the toll-free number on your insurance ID card before your first visit to determine if the court-ordered behavioral health professional is covered. If your plan requires it, we will pre-authorize coverage for the assessment. After that initial visit, your behavioral health professional will make a recommendation and determine whether ongoing care is medically necessary.
