Some Harvard Pilgrim PPO plans may include out-of-network benefits for addiction treatment in California, but the exact rules depend on the member’s specific plan. Trinity Behavioral Health accepts Harvard Pilgrim when the policy provides applicable coverage. PPO status alone does not establish whether Trinity will be treated as in network or how out-of-network claims will be processed.
Verify your Harvard Pilgrim PPO out-of-network benefits before admission or travel.
Does every Harvard Pilgrim PPO include out-of-network coverage?
No. Harvard Pilgrim offers different PPO products and employer arrangements. The member’s benefit handbook determines whether out-of-network behavioral-health services are covered and under what terms.
Can authorization still be required out of network?
Yes. Harvard Pilgrim notes that PPO members may be responsible for obtaining required authorization for out-of-network care. Network status and authorization are separate questions.
