Quick takeaways (read this first)
- ACPN is typically tied to employer-sponsored plans: Coverage details depend on your employer’s specific benefit design.
- Not all ACPN plans are the same: Two members may have different benefits based on employer, administrator, and network.
- Network participation matters: In-network providers usually offer the strongest coverage.
- Medical necessity drives approval: Clinical review determines appropriate level of care.
- Prior authorization is common: Detox, inpatient/residential, PHP, and IOP often require approval.
- Benefit verification is informational: You can check coverage without committing to treatment.
What is ACPN?
ACPN (Advanced Care Provider Network) is a healthcare network organization that partners with employers, benefit administrators, and healthcare providers to facilitate access to medical and behavioral health services. Rather than functioning as a traditional insurance carrier, ACPN typically works alongside employer-sponsored health plans.
New Year. Real Recovery.
The pressures of the season are real. Find lasting peace and expert support.
Your ACPN-related coverage may involve multiple components, including:
- An employer-sponsored medical plan
- A separate behavioral health administrator
- Specific network rules for covered providers
- Defined authorization and review processes
Because of this structure, coverage details can vary significantly. Verifying benefits helps identify which organization manages which part of your care.
Does ACPN cover drug and alcohol rehab?
In many cases, yes. Employer plans associated with ACPN often include benefits for substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and mental health services when treatment is considered medically necessary. However, coverage depends on your specific plan, network participation, and authorization requirements.
Coverage may be divided across benefit categories:
- Medical benefits: May cover detox services, physician care, labs, and certain residential components.
- Behavioral health benefits: Often cover therapy, counseling, psychiatric services, PHP, IOP, and residential treatment.
- Pharmacy benefits: Typically cover medications used in treatment, subject to formulary rules.
Key point: Coverage does not mean “no cost.” Copays, coinsurance, deductibles, and limits may apply.
Levels of care ACPN plans may cover
Addiction treatment is individualized. ACPN-associated plans may cover different levels of care depending on clinical need, safety risks, and treatment history, including:
- Medical detox: Supervised withdrawal management when withdrawal may be severe or unsafe.
- Inpatient / residential rehab: 24-hour structured treatment with intensive therapy and medical oversight.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Full-day treatment while living at home or in supportive housing.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Multi-day weekly therapy allowing patients to balance recovery and daily responsibilities.
- Standard outpatient care: Ongoing counseling, therapy, and medication management.
- Aftercare and recovery support: Continued services following discharge from higher levels of care.
Some plans may also include family therapy, case management, and relapse prevention services as part of covered care.
How ACPN determines coverage: medical necessity & authorization
Most employer-sponsored plans require services to meet medical necessity criteria to be covered. This means treatment must be clinically appropriate based on symptoms, risks, and treatment history.
Authorization reviews may reference established clinical guidelines, such as The ASAM Criteria, to determine:
- Appropriate level of care
- Length of stay or number of visits
- Ongoing treatment needs
During authorization, you may be asked about:
- Substance use patterns and duration
- Withdrawal history and medical risks
- Co-occurring mental health conditions
- Past treatment attempts and outcomes
- Home environment and available support
- Current safety concerns
If a requested level of care is not approved, options may include a step-down recommendation, peer-to-peer review, or appeal depending on the plan.
What affects your out-of-pocket cost with ACPN
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your employer plan’s design. Factors often include:
- Deductible: Amount paid before cost-sharing begins.
- Coinsurance: Percentage you pay after the deductible.
- Copays: Fixed amounts for certain services.
- Out-of-pocket maximum: Annual cap on covered expenses.
- Network status: In-network care is usually less expensive.
Tip: If you’ve met or nearly met your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum, treatment may be more affordable than expected.
Does ACPN cover dual-diagnosis treatment?
Many ACPN-associated plans include coverage for co-occurring mental health and substance use treatment. This may involve therapy, psychiatric services, and medication management for conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder when clinically appropriate.
Does ACPN cover medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be covered under medical and pharmacy benefits when appropriate. Coverage depends on formulary rules and authorization requirements.
- Buprenorphine/naloxone
- Naltrexone (oral and injectable)
- Methadone (through certified programs)
- Medications for alcohol use disorder
