Some Optum-managed behavioral-health plans may include out-of-network addiction-treatment benefits, but the underlying insurer or employer plan determines whether those benefits exist and how they work. Trinity Behavioral Health accepts Optum-managed benefits when the specific plan provides applicable coverage. Optum administration alone does not establish out-of-network eligibility or reimbursement.
Verify your specific Optum-managed out-of-network benefits before admission.
Does every Optum-managed plan include out-of-network coverage?
No. Benefit designs vary. Some plans may use a designated behavioral-health network or require authorization for non-network treatment.
Can authorization still be required?
Yes. Optum guidance for some benefit arrangements requires prior approval for out-of-network behavioral-health services. The exact member plan controls.
