Admissions
Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy in Brea verifies insurance for addiction treatment before every client’s first day of outpatient rehab, covering our partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP). Our admissions team checks each plan directly with the insurer and explains what it covers and what the client will owe. Clients can start the review through our secure form or by phone or text, with no need to understand their plan first.

We accept Blue Shield of California and Aetna for both PHP and IOP, and Cigna and TRICARE members can also use their plans with us. Coverage depends on the exact plan, not only the company, so our team reviews each member’s plan type, such as a preferred provider organization (PPO) or health maintenance organization (HMO). HMO plans often require a referral from a primary doctor before outpatient rehab, and admissions confirms this first.
California law requires state-regulated Blue Shield of California plans to cover medically necessary care for substance use disorders and mental health conditions such as depression or PTSD. You can use these plans for Blue Shield addiction treatment with us, and our therapists address those conditions alongside drinking or drug use. Our team also confirms the plan is Blue Shield of California and not Anthem Blue Cross, a separate company.
TRICARE beneficiaries can apply their coverage to PHP and IOP with us. Some TRICARE plans, such as TRICARE Prime, may need a referral or authorization first, and admissions confirms this during the coverage review.
Aetna's behavioral health benefits cover counseling for mental health and substance use, both in person and by video. For Aetna addiction treatment, you can attend our PHP and IOP at our office or over Zoom. Coverage for each format can differ, so we check both on your plan.
Cigna plans include mental health and substance use benefits that can apply to PHP and IOP. If depression or anxiety comes with drinking or drug use, our team checks how the plan covers mental health therapy before the first session, so Cigna addiction treatment can address both.
If your card shows a different insurance company, complete the form anyway. Every plan we receive gets a full review, and you hear plainly whether we can use it for your treatment. When we can't, we explain your other options, including private pay.
Clients without insurance can start treatment at Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy through self-pay, also called private pay. Our team shares the cost of the recommended level of care and the available payment options before the client agrees to anything.
The form collects the details from the client’s insurance card. Our admissions team uses them to check your coverage directly with your insurer.
The form asks only for details printed on the insurance card, usually the member ID and group number labeled “ID” and “GRP.” No health history is needed at this step.
After your form arrives, our admissions team contacts you by call or text during business hours. We explain what your plan covers and your share of the cost, then offer a free, confidential first consultation. Your start date depends on your clinical assessment and any approval your insurer requires.
Admissions confirms that your plan is active, then gathers the numbers that set your cost for outpatient rehab. You get each one in plain words, applied to your PHP and IOP stay, before treatment begins. A coverage review is not a promise of payment, because your insurer decides each claim. Our team explains each of these terms as it applies to the client’s plan.
Our team verifies coverage for a spouse or adult child before they agree to treatment. Families on a shared plan submit the card details from that plan, while relatives with a separate plan need their loved one’s card information. We treat adults 18 and older, so treatment begins with the loved one’s own consultation. Once they become a client, relatives can join sessions arranged by case management when clinically appropriate.
Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy has provided outpatient care to adults since 2013. Our IOP holds California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) license 300302AP, and our program carries Joint Commission accreditation, two credentials you can verify before you trust any treatment center with your care. Clinical Director Tiffany Komba, LMFT, leads our clinical team, and Program Director Christa Chaffins, CADC-CAS, heads case management.
Clients share how insurance verification for addiction treatment at Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy gave them clear numbers before they committed to care.
“Admissions explained my deductible and daily copay in plain words before I agreed to anything. Blue Shield addiction treatment felt affordable once I saw the real numbers from Blackstone.”
“My Aetna plan covered PHP but needed approval for IOP. The team handled that authorization early, so Aetna addiction treatment continued without a gap for me in Vista del Verde.”
“Checking coverage for my husband took one form and a short call. Cigna addiction treatment here started with clear cost answers, which made our decision in Pathfinder easier.”
“TRICARE paperwork usually confuses me, but admissions sorted out the referral before my start date. Insurance for addiction treatment was the easiest part of getting help near Glenbrook.”
Yes, for most people. Substance use treatment counts as an essential health benefit under the Affordable Care Act, so most health plans must include it. Your plan still sets your deductible, your share of each day and any approval rules. We check those details for PHP and IOP before you start.
It depends on your exact plan. Admissions confirms our network status for your specific plan during your review. Network status changes how much you pay, so you get this answer before you commit to treatment.
Yes, many plans cover both levels of care, often with approval in stages. An insurer may review your progress in PHP before it approves the move to IOP. Your first review covers both levels, so you know your IOP coverage before PHP ends.
Yes, Medi-Cal covers substance use treatment in California. Grant Me The Courage Recovery and Therapy currently works with Blue Shield, Aetna and Cigna, along with TRICARE and private pay. If Medi-Cal is your only coverage, call or text our team, and we’ll refer you to programs that accept it.
No. Sending your insurance details only gets you answers about coverage and cost. You choose whether to book a consultation, and you choose whether to start treatment.
No. Your insurer cannot share your claims or diagnoses with your employer for job decisions. Federal privacy rules protect substance use treatment records even more closely than other health records. Our team keeps your records confidential from your first form to your last session.
