Freeman Recovery Center accepts UMR insurance for addiction and dual diagnosis treatment across multiple levels of care in Tennessee. Whether you are looking at medical detox, residential treatment, or outpatient options like PHP or IOP, your UMR behavioral health benefits may cover more than you expect. Many plans include coverage for essential services like assessments, therapy, medication support, and continuing care, which can make treatment far more affordable than people assume.
To avoid surprises, it helps to confirm your specific benefits ahead of time, including deductibles, copays, and any prior authorization requirements. Call (615) 645-3677 or verify your coverage online to find out exactly what your plan will pay before your first day of treatment, so you can focus on getting help, not figuring out the paperwork.
Does UMR Cover Addiction Treatment?
UMR is a third-party administrator that processes claims on behalf of self-funded employer health plans, operating under the UnitedHealthcare umbrella. Because UMR administers coverage rather than underwriting it directly, the benefits available to you depend on what your specific employer plan includes. The good news: most UMR plans include substance use disorder and behavioral health benefits, and Freeman Recovery Center works directly with UMR to verify what your plan covers before you arrive.
The admissions team at Freeman Recovery Center handles UMR verification daily. When you call (615) 645-3677, they can confirm your in-network status, identify which levels of care are covered, and walk you through what to expect financially. There is no cost to verify, and the call is confidential.

What UMR Insurance Typically Covers for Rehab
UMR behavioral health benefits are subject to federal mental health parity law, which requires that substance use disorder coverage be comparable to coverage for medical and surgical conditions. In practical terms, that means UMR plans generally cannot impose stricter limits on addiction treatment than they would on other medical care.
That said, specific coverage details vary by plan. Here is what UMR plans commonly cover for drug and alcohol treatment:
- Medical Detox: Medically monitored withdrawal management, often covered when deemed medically necessary
- Residential Treatment (Inpatient): 24/7 structured care; coverage duration depends on clinical need and plan terms
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Daytime clinical programming; typically covered as a step-down from residential or as an alternative to inpatient care
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Multi-hour weekly therapy; often covered for patients who need structured support while living at home or in sober living
- Standard Outpatient: Ongoing maintenance and continuing care visits
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): FDA-approved medications like Suboxone, naltrexone, or acamprosate combined with counseling
- Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Integrated mental health and substance use disorder care, which UMR plans are required to cover without separate mental health carve-outs under parity rules
The specific dollar amounts, prior authorization requirements, and out-of-pocket costs depend on your individual plan. Freeman Recovery Center’s admissions specialists pull that information directly from UMR during the verification process.

UMR Insurance for Addiction Treatment at Freeman Recovery Center
Freeman Recovery Center operates a full continuum of care across two Tennessee campuses, and UMR coverage can apply across that entire range. Understanding which level of care fits your situation is a clinical decision, but knowing which levels are available under your plan is a financial one. Here is how UMR benefits map to what Freeman offers:
Medical Detox
The UMR detox program is located at the Burns, Tennessee campus. It provides 24-hour medical supervision and clinical monitoring throughout the withdrawal process. For patients whose UMR plan covers inpatient medical services, detox is typically one of the covered levels of care when medical necessity is established. Prior authorization is often required, and the Freeman admissions team submits that documentation on your behalf.
Residential Treatment
Also based at the Burns campus, residential treatment includes structured individual therapy, group sessions, trauma-informed counseling, and medication management. Freeman offers both short-term stays (7, 14, 21, or 30 days) and longer programs (60, 90, or 180 days). UMR inpatient coverage typically requires ongoing clinical review for extended residential stays, and the clinical team at Freeman coordinates those reviews to minimize interruptions in care.
PHP and IOP at the Dickson Campus
The outpatient facility at 250 State St, Dickson, TN 37055 houses both the Partial Hospitalization Program and the Intensive Outpatient Program. UMR PHP involves daytime clinical programming and is often the next step after residential treatment. UMR IOP runs several hours per week, with evening sessions available for people managing work, family, or school commitments.
Both levels of care are commonly covered by UMR behavioral health benefits, and both are also available through Freeman Recovery Online, the telehealth arm of Freeman Recovery Center, for patients across Tennessee who cannot travel to Dickson.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many patients at Freeman carry co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, BPD, and mood disorders. UMR plans covered under mental health parity rules cannot exclude these conditions from behavioral health benefits.
Freeman’s UMR dual diagnosis treatment integrates psychiatric support, trauma-informed therapy, and evidence-based modalities across all levels of care. For more detail, visit the dual diagnosis treatment page.
How to Verify Your UMR Benefits for Rehab at Freeman Recovery Center
Verifying insurance before entering treatment removes one of the biggest sources of financial anxiety. Freeman Recovery Center makes the process straightforward.
Three ways to verify your UMR benefits:
- Call admissions directly: (615) 645-3677. The team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and can typically confirm coverage details during the call or within the same business day.
- Submit an online verification request: you can enter your UMR plan information securely and confidentially with our health insurance verification form.
- Email the admissions team: Admissions@freemanrecoverycenter.com.
When you contact Freeman, have your UMR member ID card ready. The admissions team will request your plan information, contact UMR directly, and report back on what your specific employer plan covers, including deductible status, copays, out-of-pocket maximums, and whether prior authorization has been obtained.
Same-day admissions are available. If your situation is urgent, the team can often confirm coverage and begin the intake process within hours of your first call.
What to Expect Financially with UMR Coverage at Freeman
Even with solid behavioral health benefits, most UMR members will have some out-of-pocket responsibility. The final amount depends on where you are in your deductible, your plan’s coinsurance rate, and the level of care you enter.
A few things to know:
- Deductible: If your annual deductible has not been met, you may owe a portion of early treatment costs out of pocket until that threshold is reached.
- Coinsurance: After the deductible, most plans split costs between you and UMR at a percentage rate (commonly 80/20 or 70/30 in UMR’s favor).
- Out-of-pocket maximum: Once you hit your plan’s annual out-of-pocket cap, UMR covers 100% of remaining covered services for the year. This is especially relevant for longer residential stays.
- Prior authorization: UMR typically requires prior authorization for inpatient and residential levels of care. Freeman’s admissions team handles this submission before your start date to avoid coverage gaps.
Freeman Recovery Center’s admissions specialists will give you a clear financial picture before you commit to anything. The goal is that you understand your expected costs before your first day, not after.
Why Families Choose Freeman Recovery Center
Financial clarity matters, but it is rarely the only reason someone chooses a treatment facility. Here is what distinguishes Freeman Recovery Center from other Tennessee providers that accept UMR insurance:
- More than 50% of staff are personally in recovery: That is not a marketing claim; it is a staffing philosophy. Lived experience shapes how the clinical team engages with patients, particularly in the early, difficult stages of treatment.
- A full continuum in one provider network: Moving from detox to residential to PHP to IOP to sober living without changing providers means your clinical records, your treatment team’s familiarity with your history, and your UMR authorization process stay consistent throughout. Freeman coordinates all of that internally.
- Sober living for outpatient patients: For patients who need stable housing while attending PHP or IOP in Dickson, Freeman operates gender-specific sober living homes across Middle Tennessee. This removes one of the most common logistical barriers to completing outpatient treatment.
- The “Arise” faith-based recovery track: For patients who want Christ-centered, biblically grounded programming, Freeman offers the Arise track as an optional pathway alongside secular treatment options. Both are available within the same clinical structure.
- Scale and accreditation: Freeman Recovery Center holds Joint Commission accreditation, is licensed by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, and is LegitScript certified. With 200 beds and 350+ patients served daily across 60+ properties, Freeman is one of the larger private addiction treatment organizations in Tennessee.
