Rehabs that take First Health in Connecticut

Many First Health plans include benefits for substance use and mental health treatment, but the details differ by policy — which levels of care are covered, whether prior authorization is needed, and what your share of the cost is. Confirm the specifics directly with First Health using the member number on your card, and ask the facility to check as well.

Call the behavioral health number on the back of your First Health card and ask three things: whether the facility you are considering is in network, whether the level of care you need requires prior authorization, and what your deductible and copay look like this plan year. Then call the facility's admissions line and ask them to verify the same details on their end.

Cost depends entirely on your plan — deductible, coinsurance, network status and the level of care all change the number. No accurate figure can be given in advance, so ask First Health for your benefit details and ask the facility for a written estimate before admission.
