Using Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance in Tennessee

Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the largest insurance providers in the state, offering coverage to thousands of Tennessee residents. 

As a leading insurance provider, Blue Cross Blue Shield recognizes substance use disorders as legitimate medical conditions requiring professional treatment. Under the Affordable Care Act and Mental Health Parity Act, insurance companies like BCBS are required to provide coverage for addiction treatment services at the same level as they cover other medical conditions.

At Music City Detox, we work directly with BCBS of Tennessee to provide high-quality, affordable addiction treatment services to our clients. 

As an in-network provider, we can maximize your insurance benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.

How Do I Check My Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance Coverage?

At Music City Detox, we make this process simple by offering free insurance verification services.

  2. Give us a call: If you prefer to speak with someone directly, simply call our admissions team at 615-695-1009. One of our specialists will collect your insurance information over the phone.

Verify Your Blue Cross Blue Shield Coverage

How Long Will Blue Cross Blue Shield Cover My Rehab Stay?

The length of time BCBS will cover your rehab stay depends on:

  1. Medical necessity
  2. Your specific plan’s limitations
  3. The type of treatment you’re receiving
  4. Your response to treatment

Initial authorizations typically cover a specific period, after which your treatment team will request continued authorization if needed. This process, known as utilization review, involves ongoing assessment of your progress and needs.

At Music City Detox, our clinical team works closely with BCBS to ensure you receive the appropriate length of treatment based on your individual needs, providing supporting documentation to justify necessary care.

What Rehab Services Will Blue Cross Blue Shield Cover?

BCBS typically covers a range of addiction treatment services, including:

Detox: Detox safely manages the physical symptoms of withdrawal. This critical first step in recovery involves 24/7 medical monitoring, medication administration to ease withdrawal symptoms, and support from healthcare professionals. Detox typically lasts 5-10 days depending on the substance used and severity of dependence.

Inpatient/Residential Treatment: Inpatient treatment provides a therapeutic community with daily schedules including individual therapy, group counseling, educational sessions, and holistic activities. This program removes triggers and temptations while providing constant support from clinical staff. Programs typically range from 28-90 days based on individual needs and insurance coverage.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP): PHP is a highly structured treatment option that offers intensive therapy during the day (typically 6 hours per day, 5 days per week) while allowing clients to return home or to a sober living environment in the evenings. PHP serves as a step-down from inpatient care or an alternative for those with stable living situations who still need intensive support. 

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): IOP is a flexible treatment option that provides structured therapy several times per week (typically 3 hours per day, 3-5 days per week) while allowing clients to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities. 

Medication-Assisted Treatment: MAT is an evidence-based approach that combines FDA-approved medications (such as Suboxone, Vivitrol, or methadone) with comprehensive therapy and counseling. MAT helps reduce cravings, block the euphoric effects of substances, normalize brain chemistry, and prevent relapse. 

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: We offer specialized care for individuals struggling with both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. This integrated approach treats both conditions simultaneously through psychiatric care, specialized therapy modalities, medication management, and holistic approaches.

What Will My Out-of-Pocket Costs Be?

Your out-of-pocket costs for addiction treatment with BCBS will depend on:

  1. Your annual deductible (the amount you must pay before insurance begins to cover costs)
  2. Your co-insurance (the percentage of costs you share with insurance after meeting your deductible)
  3. Your copayments (fixed amounts you pay for specific services)
  4. Your plan’s out-of-pocket maximum (the most you’ll have to pay in a year)
  5. Whether you choose an in-network provider like Music City Detox

As an in-network provider with BCBS, Music City Detox can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses compared to out-of-network facilities. If resources are limited, we can work with you to determine what is needed to enter treatment at our programs.
