Does BCBS and Anthem Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
Coverage depends entirely on your specific plan, and Virtue is not broadly in-network with BCBS or Anthem. But many BCBS/Anthem PPO plans include out-of-network benefits that can still be used toward treatment here, and a free verification tells you exactly where you stand.

How BCBS & Anthem Coverage Works
Coverage varies significantly by plan. Virtue is not broadly in-network with BCBS or Anthem, but many PPO plans with out-of-network benefits can still be used toward treatment here.
BCBS and Anthem plans generally include coverage for medically necessary substance use and mental health treatment, but the specifics vary enormously by employer, state, and plan type, far more than most other carriers. Because of that range, the only reliable way to know what your plan allows is a benefits check. That's what we're here to help you navigate, whether or not your specific plan turns out to be a fit for treatment here.
Anthem is a Blue Cross Blue Shield-affiliated brand used in many states. If your card says Anthem instead of BCBS, the same information below applies to you.
The Path That Works: PPO Plans With Out-of-Network Benefits
The most common scenario where we can work with BCBS or Anthem members is a PPO plan that includes out-of-network benefits. Those can often be applied toward treatment at Virtue even without a direct in-network contract. If you have a BCBS or Anthem PPO, it's worth a free verification to see what your specific plan allows before ruling anything out.
How to Verify Your BCBS or Anthem Benefits
Have your BCBS or Anthem card and member ID handy. Verification is free, confidential, and takes just a few minutes, with no obligation and no guarantee of coverage until we've actually checked your specific plan.
