Some UMR-administered PPO plans may include out-of-network benefits for addiction treatment, but the exact rules depend on the employer’s plan design. Trinity Behavioral Health accepts UMR-administered benefits when the specific plan provides applicable coverage. UMR is a third-party administrator for many self-funded plans, so out-of-network benefits are not uniform across UMR members.
Before admission, verify your specific UMR network and out-of-network benefits.
Does every UMR plan include out-of-network coverage?
No. Some employer plans use PPO networks that allow non-network care, while other benefit designs can be more restrictive. The member’s plan document and ID card network information should be reviewed rather than assuming PPO rules from another UMR plan.
Can out-of-network care cost more?
Yes. UMR’s member guidance explains that PPO networks generally provide reduced contracted rates for in-network care. Out-of-network care may use different deductibles, coinsurance, allowed-amount rules, and member responsibility.
Can prior authorization still apply out of network?
Yes. Network status and authorization are separate questions. A plan may require prior authorization or medical-necessity review even when out-of-network benefits are available.
What should I verify?
- The employer plan and applicable network
- Whether out-of-network behavioral-health benefits exist
- Trinity’s status under the specific network
- Prior authorization requirements
- Deductible and coinsurance differences
- Allowed-amount or reimbursement rules
- Medical-necessity and continued-stay requirements
For general UMR information, see UMR PPO benefits for rehab. Depending on clinical need, Trinity provides residential rehab, PHP, and IOP.

Exact benefits vary by plan and should be verified directly. Out-of-network access does not guarantee coverage, authorization, a particular reimbursement amount, or payment.
