Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the most widely accepted insurers in the country, and Path to Recovery Detox works with most BCBS plans, including out-of-state members through BlueCard.

Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) is a federation of independent, locally operated companies that together cover roughly one in three Americans. In California, Anthem Blue Cross is the BCBS licensee. Because addiction treatment is a protected essential health benefit, most BCBS plans cover some portion of detox and rehabilitation.

If you are covered by a BCBS plan from another state, the BlueCard program often lets you use those benefits at facilities in California. This makes BCBS a common choice for people traveling to Southern California for treatment away from familiar triggers.

Every BCBS plan is different, so the specifics of your coverage, deductible, coinsurance, network, and authorization requirements are best confirmed with a fast, free verification. We handle the entire process for you.

Levels of Care Blue Cross Blue Shield May Cover

  • Medically supervised detox
  • Residential and inpatient treatment
  • Partial hospitalization (PHP)
  • Intensive outpatient (IOP)
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
  • Dual-diagnosis and mental health care
