Whether you need medical detox, residential care, or outpatient programming, call (615) 645-3677 or use our online verification tool to find out exactly what your benefits include.

Does First Health Network Cover Inpatient Meth Rehab in Tennessee?

For many First Health Network plans, inpatient methamphetamine treatment qualifies as a covered behavioral health benefit under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), which requires insurers to apply the same standards to addiction treatment that they apply to medical and surgical care. This federal protection extends to residential treatment and medical detox for substance use disorders, including methamphetamine use disorder.

Freeman Recovery Center’s residential program at our Burns, TN campus operates 24 hours a day with clinical supervision throughout. Residential stays range from 7-day intensive options to 30-, 60-, 90-, and 180-day programs, depending on clinical need and individual circumstances. For methamphetamine use disorder, longer residential timelines are often clinically appropriate given the sustained therapeutic support the recovery process requires.

Whether inpatient care is covered, and for how long, depends on your specific First Health Network plan and the clinical criteria your case meets. Our team will determine this during the free VOB process.

What First Health Network Covers for Meth Treatment at Freeman

Freeman Recovery Center is an in-network provider with First Health Network, which means patients using First Health coverage can access methamphetamine use disorder treatment across multiple levels of care with reduced out-of-pocket meth rehab costs compared to going out-of-network. First Health Network operates as a cost containment and network access organization, and many commercial insurance plans and employer-sponsored health plans use the First Health network to extend behavioral health coverage to facilities like FRC.

For methamphetamine use disorder, coverage typically extends across the full continuum of care. The specific benefits available to you depend on your individual plan’s terms, your deductible status, and any prior authorization requirements. The most common coverage categories for methamphetamine use disorder treatment include:

• Medical Detox: Monitored withdrawal management at our Burns, TN campus
• Residential Treatment: Inpatient care ranging from 7-day to 180-day programs
• Partial Hospitalization (PHP): Structured daytime programming with off-site housing
• Intensive Outpatient (IOP): Several hours of weekly therapy, including evening sessions for working adults
• Standard Outpatient (OP): Ongoing maintenance and continuing care
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): FDA-approved medications integrated across levels of care
• Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Co-occurring mental health conditions treated alongside substance use

How to Use Your First Health Network Benefits for Meth Treatment

Using insurance for rehab feels complicated to a lot of people, but the process with First Health Network at Freeman Recovery Center is more straightforward than most expect. Our admissions team handles the benefits verification and authorization process on your behalf, so you are not left navigating phone trees and claim codes on your own.

Here is how the process typically works:

1. Contact Freeman Recovery Center. Call (615) 645-3677 or submit your information online. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
2. Free Verification of Benefits (VOB). A member of our admissions team gathers your First Health Network policy details and contacts the insurer directly to confirm what is covered, at what level, and under what conditions.
3. Prior Authorization (if required). Many insurance plans require pre-authorization before residential or PHP-level care begins. Our team initiates this on your behalf and coordinates directly with First Health Network.
4. Clear Cost Breakdown. Before admission, you will understand what your plan covers and what, if any, out-of-pocket responsibility remains. There are no financial surprises at intake.
5. Same-Day Admissions Available. Once coverage is confirmed and authorization is in place, Freeman Recovery Center can admit patients the same day.

This process applies whether you are inquiring for yourself or on behalf of a family member. Our admissions team treats every call with confidentiality.

Understanding Out-of-Pocket Costs with First Health Network

Even with active coverage, most First Health Network members will have some out-of-pocket responsibility depending on their plan structure. The most common cost factors include

• Deductible: The amount you pay before insurance begins covering services. If your deductible resets on January 1 and you enter treatment early in the year, your initial costs may be higher.
• Co-insurance: The percentage you pay after your deductible is met, often 10% to 30% of covered services.
• Co-pays: Fixed amounts per visit or service day, common in outpatient settings.
• Out-of-pocket maximum: Once you hit this annual threshold, your plan covers 100% of covered services. For patients in extended residential programs, reaching the out-of-pocket maximum can significantly reduce total costs.
• In-network vs. out-of-network rates: As a First Health Network participating provider, Freeman Recovery Center’s rates apply at the lower in-network tier.

The average cost of a 30-day residential stay at FRC is approximately $18,000 before insurance. Most patients with active First Health Network coverage pay significantly less. The precise figure depends on your plan’s specific terms, and our admissions team provides a clear estimate before any financial commitment is made.
