Twin Town: In-Network Insurance Contracted, Preferred Treatment Provider
During the course of an assessment at Twin Town, insurance coverage can be verified and an estimate of the self-payment portion of treatment will be explained. Many insurance plans require self-payment of a deductible or a co-payment amount and Twin Town can offer interest-free payment plans. Cost should not become a road-block to recovery.
Twin Town counselors will “authorize” use of behavioral health benefits with the appropriate insurance representative when necessary. In such cases, access to and continued treatment for a substance use disorder are covered only if the insurance representative approves the treatment provider and plan.
If insurance is not going to be used to cover the costs of treatment, Twin Town is one of the lowest cost providers, providing some of the most flexible payment planning available.
California Senate Bill 855 requires that addiction (substance use disorder) treatment is covered by medical insurance under the same standards as are bio-medical conditions. In 2019, forty-eight (48%) of Californians were covered by large group, employer commercial insurance plans, seven percent (7%) were covered by individual commercial plans and twenty-five percent (25%) were covered by MediCal. Eleven percent (11%) Californians were covered by Medicare which is exempt the requirement to cover addiction treatment.
Unfortunately only thirty-eight (38%) percent of Californians with diagnosed addiction (substance use disorder) initiated treatment and only thirteen percent (13%) continued with treatment.
Twin Town is a contracted and preferred provider for PPO, HMO, EPO insurance plans, managed care companies and employee assistance programs.
