Harvard Pilgrim Health Care came into being after the merger of Harvard Community Health Plan and Pilgrim Health in 1994. They offer plans in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire. You can get individual and family plans from Harvard Pilgrim directly or through your employer. They also have Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans for people who are eligible.
Does Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Cover Addiction Rehab?
Yes, may Harvard Pilgrim plans cover addiction rehab and the company has a number of treatment centers in their network. They also make it easy to find out what care providers they cover through their substance use services webpage. There are many levels of addiction treatment included in their network.
However, every insurance plan is different so be sure to verify your coverage details before you start treatment. You’ll want to get a treatment plan from your doctor as well because that will let you know what’s medically necessary in your case.

I am truly grateful for Springhill Recovery. Immediately I was made to feel at ease, safe & secure. I quickly realized that I was in competent, caring hands with all of the staff that I met.
I learned so much about myself here! I can see where I need to work on a few things and I now have to tools to do it thanks to the amazing groups here.
I leave here confident in my sobriety & recovery! I will seek connections with others in recovery because I’ve learned that absolutely nobody can do this alone.
Thank you Springhill Recovery for giving me a chance at life again!

I really enjoyed the counselors, professionalism and the program. Very well done and welcoming. I’d highly recommend Casco Bay to anyone looking for a healthier future and the tools and knowledge they provide to help.
Green Mountain Treatment Center saved my life. I was sick and scared when I arrived, but the transformation that occurred for me during the 80 days I spent on the mountain was nothing short of a miracle.
I quickly recognized that hard work on my part needed to be done, or I'd be miserable and missing out on the gifts of the program. Thankfully, there is an incredible staff in place who walked with me through the introspection I had to do and showed me that recovery was possible. I marked 5 months sober yesterday and I truly believe that God removed my alcoholic obsession while I was on the mountain.
Everyone's experience is different and I can only speak of my own, but I personally could not see myself succeeding as I did in any other facility. I'll be thankful to Green Mountain for the rest of my life.

I had no idea what was going to become of me when I was sent to Immersion’s PHP program from a different residential treatment center. I knew I was an alcoholic, but that’s pretty much it. It has been a month since I finished my program there, and looking back, I can say they saved my life. The entire staff legitimately cares. From the therapists, to the 12-step contacts, to the techs, they made me feel welcome and heard at all times. I have never been happier, healthier, and more determined to continue on this recovery journey. Immersion deserves a lot of credit for where I am in life.

I was worried about my loved one going out of state for treatment. But it was the best thing that he could have done. I am grateful for all of the staff and the great team that helped get him in the door. I know this is just the beginning and everything is a lot better than it was.

Amazing facility, staff, and resources. Not my first treatment center but definitely the most beneficial one. Would highly recommend to anyone struggling with substance abuse and/or mental health.
I came to Green Mountain simply expecting to become sober and work on my mental health. Not only did I accomplish this but I grew spiritually and emotionally, forming both lifelong friends who I consider to be some of my most trusted loved ones and a healthy relationship with my higher power. The staff at the mountain are incredibly understanding and empathetic, both sharing their stories of recovery and actively listening to and helping with my own story of recovery. I am without a doubt a better person because of the twelve steps and Green Mountain, and am so thankful for the tools given to me and the time invested in my sobriety. Every single twelve step coordinator has a special place in my heart, each for a different reason. This is because they truly care about me as a person and my sobriety. Every single staff member on the mountain genuinely cares for all of their clients, or else they wouldn’t be in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Plans?
Harvard Pilgrim Health Care offers individual and family plans on the state insurance Marketplace in Maine and Massachusetts along with New Hampshire. These plans are generally either health maintenance organizations (HMOs) or preferred provider organizations (PPOs).
An HMO allows you to coordinate your care through a primary care physician (PCP) who gives you referrals for specialists like addiction or mental health professionals. Your doctor will also help you get preauthorization if necessary. You will need to seek care within the provider network.
For a PPO you can see in network specialists without a referral. A PPO also gives you the opportunity to see out of network providers but you will pay significantly more out of pocket. You may still need preauthorization for certain types of care.
If you have Original Medicare and need help with your out of pocket expenses you can get a Medicare supplement plan from Harvard Pilgrim Health. Another option is replacing Original Medicare with a Medicare Advantage plan. Advantage plans cover everything Original Medicare does and often offer additional benefits such as vision or dental coverage. However you generally need to use providers in the plan’s network and you may need preauthorization for certain services.
What Perks Come With Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Plans?
Harvard Pilgrim plans come with some helpful perks. For example you may have access to wellness programs and discounts and the Harvard Pilgrim mindfulness program. They also have telehealth options and experts such as nurses and social workers who can help answer your questions.
Another helpful perk is the discount they offer on complementary and alternative therapies. Certain plans allow you to get up to a 30% discount on alternative medicine services if you select a provider from the network they have partnered with.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Cover?
The first step to getting addiction care is for a provider or clinician to assess what level of care you need. If inpatient addiction treatment is the right level of care, they will recommend it to you. The assessing clinician will likely be the one who asks your insurance company for prior approval, but sometimes it’s your primary care provider who does that part. Either way, inpatient addiction treatment is very resource intensive, so most insurance companies want to make sure it’s the right place for you, thus the requirement for prior approval.
There are a couple of different types of inpatient addiction treatment that Harvard Pilgrim may cover for you. One inpatient treatment type is medical detox. The goal of detox is to get you safely through opioid or alcohol withdrawal. Treatment center staff medically monitor your progress and manage your symptoms. The length of time you’re there depends on how quickly you are able to detox, usually somewhere between three and ten days.
Once you’ve completed detox, you can start to focus on changing your behaviors to keep from relapsing. You may be referred to residential rehab to work on developing these skills. The structured environment of residential rehab is designed to help break behavioral patterns that lead to using or drinking. The groups teach you about addiction and how to prevent relapse. A stay most commonly lasts for three to four weeks but can go longer.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Cover?
You can find a number of outpatient addiction treatment centers with Harvard Pilgrim’s network. Below are some of the treatment types you might be able to find.
The most intensive type of outpatient treatment is partial hospitalization. This type of treatment looks very much like residential rehab. You’re usually there all morning and all afternoon. The one big difference is you go home in the evening and on weekends. Since you have large chunks of time when you’re not in a supervised setting, this is a good option for people who can go a few hours or days outside a structured program without relapsing.
The next level down is intensive outpatient. This level usually requires a two or three time a week commitment for a couple of hours each day. The programming usually consists of groups and individual sessions where you learn and practice relapse prevention strategies.
Standard outpatient treatment is the level of care that most people are familiar with. This usually involves enrolling in a program where you see a therapist and a psychiatric provider. They may offer some groups you can choose to attend. You and your providers will determine how frequently you’ll meet.
Does Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Methadone and Suboxone are two FDA approved medications that treat opioid addiction. They can be used to help you stop opioids or as a maintenance treatment to help prevent you from relapsing during treatment.
These medications and others are sometimes used within a detox program. When they’re used this way your insurance plan will have the same coverage as it has for detox.
Suboxone and methadone are also used for maintenance treatment. This is when you receive these medications to keep you from going into withdrawal. Suboxone can be prescribed by your primary care or psychiatric provider. If this treatment is appropriate for you, your insurance plan may cover it as an outpatient treatment.
Another way to get Suboxone and the only way to get methadone is to go to a specialized opioid treatment clinic. Harvard Pilgrim has several of these clinic types within their network, and may cover this service if you’re eligible. Be sure to check your insurance plan for details before starting treatment.
Does Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Harvard Pilgrim may cover a variety of different mental health services. Some of the acute services you may find in their network include inpatient psychiatric hospitalization for people of all ages from children to older adults. Some emergency departments have specialized crisis services that Harvard Pilgrim may also cover.
Certain plans may cover in home behavioral interventions for children and adolescents where the service is available. They also have providers who work with people who have autism including providers who use applied behavioral analysis.
People who find it difficult to travel to appointments may appreciate Harvard Pilgrim’s telehealth services benefit. This benefit allows you to see a provider online instead of going in person. Harvard Pilgrim partners with a telehealth only service provider but many brick and mortar offices offer telehealth too.
If you’re having trouble finding a provider Harvard Pilgrim can help connect you to someone through their case management service. If you just want some reliable information about a health condition their website includes a library of information you can access.
How Long Will Harvard Pilgrim Health Cover Rehab?
The length of treatment in most levels of care can be very individual. There is often some level of reassessment happening every few days. It’s common for residential treatment to last for three to four weeks for most people but some may stay up to 90 days.
Other programs like partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient also have highly variable lengths of stay. These programs can continue from weeks to months. Together with your treatment team you’ll be involved in setting the treatment goals that will inform your length of stay. You’ll get the best results if you participate fully in the goal setting stage and the totality of your treatment.
Can I Travel Out of State For Treatment With Harvard Pilgrim Health?
Your individual plan will determine whether you can travel out of state for treatment. Harvard Pilgrim’s network tends to be more concentrated in the states they operate in which are Massachusetts and Maine and New Hampshire. They do have one plan that is specific for families with dependents living out of state such as those who have a child in college. That plan has out of state options.
Some of Harvard Pilgrim’s plans will not allow you to seek care out of network at all even within your state. Plans that do allow you to go out of network will usually have higher copays and deductibles if you go that route. Those fees are generally much more than what they would have been had you received care from inside their network. If you are able to stay within their network for care you will be able to avoid these additional fees. If you do decide to get care from out of network pay special attention to your plan details to avoid surprises.
How to Verify Coverage With Harvard Pilgrim Health
You have a few options to verify what services your Harvard Pilgrim plan covers. One option is to call their customer service line and ask about the service you’re interested in. You can also log in to your account online and check if a service provider is part of your plan network.
One more way you can check is to speak directly to the service provider you would like to see and ask them to verify that they’re covered under your plan. Whichever of these options you choose to use it’s important to check using the name of your specific plan since different plans within Harvard Pilgrim have different provider networks.
