An Anthem Blue Cross PPO member may be able to request a network exception or single-case arrangement in some circumstances, but approval is not automatic. Trinity Behavioral Health accepts Anthem Blue Cross insurance, but an exception does not guarantee coverage, a specific reimbursement rate, or admission approval.
If Trinity is treated as out of network under your plan, first verify the exact Anthem PPO network and benefits.
What is a network exception?
A network exception is a plan-specific arrangement that may allow care from a nonparticipating provider under special terms. The process and terminology can vary.
When might an exception be considered?
Potential factors can include provider availability, clinical circumstances, network adequacy, and plan rules. Authorization and medical-necessity requirements may still apply.
Does a single-case agreement permanently change network status?
No. It generally applies only to a defined episode of care, service, or negotiated rate.
Can an exception apply to residential, PHP, or IOP?
Potentially. Trinity offers residential rehab, PHP, and IOP. Coverage must be checked for the specific level of care.
What should I ask?
- Is Trinity in network or out of network for my plan?
- Does my plan allow a network exception?
- Who must submit the request?
- Is prior authorization also required?
- What cost sharing would apply?
