If TriWest authorizes treatment for one eligible partner, Trinity Behavioral Health can separately review the other uninsured or non-covered partner for its couples sponsorship model. The authorization applies only to the eligible beneficiary. It does not automatically create coverage for the spouse or partner. Trinity sponsorship is a separate admissions decision and should be confirmed before travel.
Verify Your PPO Benefits and Ask About Couples Sponsorship.
Does a TriWest authorization cover both of us?
No. A referral or authorization for one beneficiary does not extend TriWest or TRICARE eligibility to another person. The second partner must either have their own qualifying benefits or be separately reviewed for Trinity sponsorship.
Can the uninsured partner still enter treatment with me?
Potentially. If the second partner is eligible for sponsorship and both people are clinically appropriate for couples rehab, they may be able to enter treatment together.
What if our recommended levels of care are different?
Each partner is assessed individually. One person may require detox or residential rehab, while the other may be appropriate for PHP or IOP.
Can Trinity help us travel to California?
Yes. Trinity can help eligible couples coordinate flight arrangements, arrival planning, ground-transportation coordination, travel logistics, and discharge travel planning when applicable. Exact assistance should be confirmed before booking travel.
What should we finalize before leaving home?
- The eligible partner’s TriWest/TRICARE West authorization status
- The exact approved level and dates of care when applicable
- The other partner’s sponsorship eligibility
- Clinical fit for couples treatment
- Travel assistance for the admission

Ask Admissions About Sponsorship and Travel to California
A TriWest authorization applies only to the eligible beneficiary. Sponsorship, admission, travel assistance, and payment are separate determinations.
