Start by verifying the eligible partner’s TriWest-administered benefits, then tell Trinity Behavioral Health admissions that the other partner is uninsured or does not have their own qualifying benefits. Trinity can separately review that eligible partner for couples sponsorship and can help coordinate travel and flight arrangements to treatment in California.
Verify Your PPO Benefits and Ask About Couples Sponsorship.
Step 1: Verify TriWest eligibility and benefits
Trinity should confirm the beneficiary’s current eligibility, program option, network status, covered services, referral requirements, and prior authorization rules. These requirements can vary by beneficiary and level of care.
Step 2: Explain that only one partner has benefits
Tell admissions whether the other partner is uninsured or simply does not have their own TriWest/TRICARE eligibility. If the second person has separate eligibility, those benefits can be verified independently.
Step 3: Ask about Trinity sponsorship
If the second partner is uninsured or non-covered, Trinity may separately consider them for sponsorship. Sponsorship does not create TriWest or TRICARE eligibility and does not mean TriWest pays for both people.
Step 4: Complete the couples-program clinical review
Eligible couples may be able to enter couples rehab together when clinically appropriate. Each partner is assessed individually.
Step 5: Confirm the level of care
Depending on clinical need, treatment may begin with detox or residential rehab, with later step-down to PHP or IOP.
Step 6: Coordinate travel to California
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 discussed before booking travel.
