Insurance Covered Addiction Treatment
on Long Island

Mental Health Parity Laws

Federal (MHPAEA) and New York state regulations ensure mental health and substance use disorder treatments are covered equally to physical health conditions. This means no more restrictive limits on visits, costs, or treatment duration for addiction care compared to medical care.

No Prior Authorization Required (In-Network)

For in-network providers, prior authorization is typically not required for outpatient addiction treatment. This applies to both commercial insurance and Medicaid plans, ensuring timely access to care.

Note: If your insurance card says "Self Funded", your plan may still require authorization, though this is rare. We can verify your specific plan requirements when you call.

Quick Access Standards

We aim to schedule everyone for an intake appointment within 24 hours of your initial contact. Our average intake time is within 1 business day.

Waived Prior Authorization for Key Medications

Many substance use disorder medications have waived prior authorization requirements under NY state protections, including Suboxone, Sublocade, and Vivitrol. This promotes immediate access to life-saving treatment.

Transportation Assistance

Many Medicaid managed care plans offer transportation assistance to medical appointments, including addiction treatment visits. This removes barriers to accessing care.

Integrity's staff can set up Medicabs for clients. Contact us to set this up for your appointment. Important: Cabs must be set up 24 hours in advance of the first ride to take effect.

Confidentiality Protections

All treatment at Integrity Treatment Partners is strictly confidential and HIPAA compliant. Your employer or family will not be notified unless you give written consent. These protections are enforced by NY Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Financial Services (DFS).
