Florida Blue, part of Blue Cross and Blue Shield, offers some level of addiction treatment coverage for policyholders.
Federal mandates require that many Florida insurance plans cover addiction treatment costs, at least to an extent. The plans are often required to provide equal benefits for mental health care and addiction treatment as they do for medical care. Florida Blue is an insurer that works with the New Directions network to make addiction treatment services more accessible to people throughout Florida. The Recovery Village at Baptist Health is one of the leading rehabs that take Florida Blue.

Florida Blue and the New Directions Network
How Florida Blue Manages Behavioral Health Coverage
Florida Blue partners with the New Directions behavioral health network to manage substance use disorder and mental health services for its members. When you seek addiction treatment as a Florida Blue member, your behavioral health benefits are administered through New Directions rather than directly through Florida Blue’s medical benefits.
The Recovery Village at Baptist Health is a participating provider in the New Directions network. This means Florida Blue members receive in-network rates at both of our South Florida treatment locations, resulting in significantly lower out-of-pocket costs compared to out-of-network treatment.
