Blue Cross Blue Shield — including BCBS of South Carolina, Federal Employee Program, and BlueCard plans from out of state — typically covers addiction and mental health treatment at Valor Health under Mental Health Parity. Most of our BCBS patients pay a small deductible and copay relative to the full cost of treatment.
Medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, individual and group therapy, psychiatry, and medication-assisted treatment when medically necessary. Coverage varies by specific plan tier — bring your member ID and we will explain what your plan includes.
BCBS of SC HMO and PPO plans typically have strong behavioral health benefits. Federal Employee Program (FEP) BCBS often has excellent coverage including out-of-network benefits. BlueCard plans from other states are accepted and processed through the BCBS network.
BCBS typically requires pre-authorization for higher levels of care (detox, residential, PHP). Our utilization review team handles this entirely for you — getting authorizations, advocating for the clinical length of stay your treatment team recommends, and managing all back-and-forth with BCBS directly.
Have your insurance card and member ID ready. Our admissions team will walk through your BCBS plan with you in plain English — what is covered, what is not, and any prior-authorization steps. Available 24/7 by phone.
