How Do We Start Couples Treatment With One UMR Plan?

Start by verifying the insured partner’s UMR-administered health benefits, then tell Trinity Behavioral Health admissions that the other partner is uninsured or not covered under the plan. 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 the exact UMR-administered plan

UMR is a third-party administrator, so Trinity should confirm the employer plan’s active eligibility, provider network, covered addiction-treatment services, cost sharing, and prior-authorization or predetermination requirements.

Step 2: Explain that only one partner is insured

Tell admissions whether the other partner is completely uninsured or simply not enrolled under the plan. If that person is already an eligible dependent, their own benefits can be verified separately.

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 add them to the employer plan and does not transfer benefits.

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 need, treatment may begin with detox or residential rehab, with possible 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.
