Rehabs That Take Advocate Aurora Health

Advocate Aurora Health is a health system serving Illinois and Wisconsin, now part of Advocate Health, rather than an insurance company. Health plans connected with the system, such as employee plans, can include drug and alcohol treatment, with benefits varying by plan, network and level of care.Illinois treatment centers on this page list Advocate Aurora Health on their own websites. Because a health system name can stand for several different plans, check which plan you have and ask the facility whether it takes that plan. Then call the number on your card about prior authorization, referral rules and any cost.

Common questions

Answered from what is listed here.

Is Advocate Aurora Health an insurance company?

No, Advocate Aurora Health is a nonprofit hospital and physician system in Illinois and Wisconsin, not an insurer. It sells no health insurance of its own. Its hospitals are in network for many insurers, it runs a self-funded plan for its own staff, and it lends its network to co-branded plans.

Co-branded examples include BlueCare Direct and Blue Medicare Advocate Health (HMO) with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, plus Aurora Health Quartz Medicare Advantage in Wisconsin.

Private Insurance Acceptedhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/private-insurance-accepted/

Does Advocate Aurora Health cover rehab?

No, not directly. Advocate Aurora Health is a care provider, so the insurer named on your card decides whether addiction treatment is covered. Its Illinois and Wisconsin hospitals deliver inpatient stabilization, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and residential substance use treatment, then bill whatever plan you carry.

Aurora advises checking with your insurer that the plan includes Aurora Health Care, on 888-863-5502, and Advocate notes that accepted carriers vary from hospital to hospital.

Residential Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/programs/residential/

Is Advocate Aurora Health the same as Advocate Health?

Yes, in effect. Advocate Aurora Health combined with Atrium Health on December 2, 2022, and the merged nonprofit took the name Advocate Health, based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Advocate Aurora corporate name retired then, while the regional hospitals kept the Advocate Health Care and Aurora Health Care brands.

Advocate Health today reports 69 hospitals and more than 1,100 sites of care, with Atrium Health and Wake Forest University School of Medicine as sister organizations.

Hospital Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/type/hospital/

What states does Advocate Aurora Health operate in?

Illinois and Wisconsin. Advocate Health Care runs 11 Illinois hospitals and more than 250 sites around Chicago, while Aurora Health Care runs 18 hospitals and over 150 sites in eastern Wisconsin, including Milwaukee. Both now sit under the Advocate Health parent organization.

The wider Advocate Health footprint also reaches Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina through Atrium Health, which was never part of the former Advocate Aurora system.

Does Advocate Aurora Health offer detox?

Yes, at Aurora in Wisconsin. The adult behavioral program states that substance use treatment begins with detoxification, and Aurora Psychiatric Hospital in Wauwatosa handles inpatient assessments around the clock. Advocate's Illinois behavioral pages describe stabilization and addiction day programs without naming detox services.

Aurora Psychiatric Hospital's inpatient intake line is 414-454-6777. Intake staff arrange any managed care authorization a plan requires and refer inside or outside the system accordingly.

Medical Detoxhttps://rehabseekers.com/programs/detox-centers/medical-detox/

Does Advocate Aurora Health have an intensive outpatient program?

Yes, in both states. Advocate Lutheran General in Park Ridge runs an Adult Day Hospital and Intensive Outpatient Program on weekday mornings, with an average stay of two to three weeks. Aurora Psychiatric Hospital offers adult partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care in Wisconsin.

The Lutheran General program line is 847-723-5896, and its materials note that an insurer may ask for clinical updates during treatment before continued care is covered.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)https://rehabseekers.com/programs/outpatient/iop/

Does Aurora's residential rehab take insurance?

No, the Dewey Center's 28-day residential addiction program for adults 18 and older is described as self-pay, so insurance is not accepted for it. The program includes psychiatric consultation and medication management with board-certified addiction psychiatrists, in a building remodeled in 2018.

Dewey Center admissions run 24 hours a day on 414-454-6600. Other Aurora levels of care, such as inpatient and intensive outpatient, are billed to insurance in the usual way.

Self Pay Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/payment/self-pay/

Does the Advocate Aurora employee plan need prior authorization for rehab?

Yes, for behavioral health care. Substance use and behavioral health authorizations on the Advocate Aurora Health Employee Benefit Plan route through AXCES Behavioral Health at 800-454-6455 rather than the medical carrier. Inpatient, outpatient and specialty pharmacy authorizations went through Advocate Aurora itself at 855-376-2386.

From April 1, 2021 the plan's authorization list covered behavioral health services, outpatient services, post-acute care and elective inpatient admissions.

Private Insurance Acceptedhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/private-insurance-accepted/

Who administers the Advocate Aurora Health employee plan?

Meritain Health administers the current teammate medical plan, which Advocate lists in Essentials, Choice and Premier tiers. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois carried the plan in 2020 and 2021, using member ID prefix EAD with groups PI3844, PI3845 and PI3846.

Teammate customer service through Meritain is 877-379-0287, while behavioral health benefit navigation and authorizations stay with AXCES on 800-454-6455.

Private Insurance Acceptedhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/private-insurance-accepted/

How many therapy sessions does the Advocate Aurora EAP cover?

Up to four confidential sessions per issue, at no cost, through the Aurora Health Care Employee Assistance Program. Sessions can be in person, by phone or by video. Advocate Health Solutions also sells employee assistance services to outside employers, reachable at 800-236-3231.

Teammates enrolled in the medical plan also get no-cost virtual primary and urgent care plus the Headspace app, available around the clock to staff and household members.

Employee Assistance Programshttps://rehabseekers.com/payment/employee-assistance-programs/

Does Advocate Aurora Health take Medicaid?

Yes, through managed care plans rather than any Medicaid product of its own. Illinois hospitals accept HealthChoice Illinois plans including Aetna Better Health, Blue Cross Community Health Plan, CountyCare, Meridian, Molina and YouthCare. Wisconsin sites accept Anthem, Chorus Community Health Plan, Molina, Quartz, iCare and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.

If your Medicaid managed care plan does not include Advocate or Aurora, the appointment cannot go ahead and your plan must direct you to an in-network provider.

Medicaid Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/medicaid/

Does Advocate Aurora Health have a Medicare Advantage plan?

Not on its own, but two co-branded plans use its network. Blue Medicare Advocate Health (HMO), administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, launched January 1, 2021 across Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, Kendall, McHenry and Will counties. Aurora Health Quartz Medicare Advantage covers eastern Wisconsin.

Both began with $0 premium options. The Quartz plan's member line is (800) 394-5566, TTY 711, and it includes the AbleTo mental well-being program.

Medicare Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/medicare/

Is Aurora Health Quartz the same as Advocate Aurora Health?

No, they are different organizations. Quartz Health Solutions is a separate insurer owned by UW Health, Gundersen Health System and UnityPoint Health, and it administers the joint Aurora Health Quartz Medicare Advantage HMO, which uses Aurora's eastern Wisconsin network and took effect January 1, 2021.

Quartz added Aurora physicians to select commercial networks from January 1, 2020, following a letter of intent the two signed that month.

Medicare Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/medicare/

Does Advocate Aurora Health cover Suboxone or methadone?

Medication coverage comes from your own plan's formulary, because Advocate Aurora Health is a care provider with no drug list of its own. Aurora runs an opiate recovery program for prescription painkiller and heroin use, though its published pages do not name buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone.

Check the pharmacy benefit under the insurer printed on your card, then ask the program whether it prescribes on site or refers you elsewhere.

Suboxone and Buprenorphinehttps://rehabseekers.com/medications/mat/buprenorphine/

How do I find a rehab that takes Advocate Aurora Health?

Start with the insurer printed on your member card, since that plan, not the health system, decides coverage. Advocate and Aurora each publish accepted-plan lists that vary by hospital, along with doctor finders. Aurora's insurance line is 888-863-5502 and Advocate's main line is 800-323-8622.

Then ask the treatment program whether it contracts with that exact plan, including the teammate plan administered by Meritain Health.

Advocate Aurora Health is a nonprofit hospital and physician system in Illinois and Wisconsin, not an insurance company. It does not sell coverage, so payment for addiction treatment comes from whichever plan is printed on the card, while the system itself sits on the other side of the table as a provider of inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and residential care.

The corporate name is also out of date. Advocate Health Care and Aurora Health Care merged on April 2, 2018 to create Advocate Aurora Health, and that company combined with Atrium Health on December 2, 2022 to form Advocate Health, a nonprofit headquartered at 1000 Blythe Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina. The regional brands stayed: Advocate Health Care in Illinois, Aurora Health Care in Wisconsin, Atrium Health in the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama.

A treatment program that lists Advocate Aurora Health usually means one of three things: the system’s self-funded teammate plan, a plan co-branded with an insurer on the Advocate or Aurora network, or the system’s own hospital programs. This guide covers which levels of care those hospitals run, where authorization applies and who grants it, what a stay costs, how addiction medication is handled, and how to find a program once the plan name is settled.

Does Advocate Aurora Health Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

It does not cover anything, because it is a provider rather than an insurer. Coverage for drug and alcohol treatment depends on the plan on the card, and the hospitals carry that plan or they do not. What the system does offer is treatment: inpatient care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programming and residential treatment across its Illinois and Wisconsin sites.

In Illinois, Advocate Health Care runs 11 hospitals and behavioral services that include short-term inpatient stabilization, half-day and full-day addiction care, partial hospitalization, addiction counseling, drug and alcohol evaluations and support groups. In Wisconsin, Aurora Health Care runs 18 hospitals, among them Aurora Psychiatric Hospital at 1220 Dewey Avenue in Wauwatosa, which operates around the clock and houses an Adult Inpatient Program, an Adult Substance Abuse Program and adult day and evening programming.

Which Advocate Aurora are you holding? A teammate medical plan administered by Meritain Health; a co-branded product such as Blue Medicare Advocate Health (HMO) or BlueCare Direct from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois; or Aurora Health Quartz Medicare Advantage (HMO), administered by Quartz in eastern Wisconsin. The benefit rules follow the administrator, not the hospital sign.

What Does Each Level of Care Look Like?

Aurora lists inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization and residential substance use treatment, with clinical staff matching the level to the assessment rather than to a request. Advocate’s Illinois services run from evaluation and counseling through day programming and inpatient stabilization. The level assigned at intake drives both the authorization route and the share the plan expects.

Medical Detox

Aurora’s adult program states that substance use treatment begins with detoxification, and inpatient assessments run 24 hours a day through Intake and Admissions on 414-454-6777. Advocate’s Illinois behavioral pages do not describe withdrawal management, so anyone needing supervised withdrawal in the Chicago area should ask the admissions team directly or compare detox centers elsewhere in the state.

Residential and Inpatient

Aurora’s Dewey Center is a 28-day residential program for adults 18 and over with alcohol or other substance addiction, and the page describes it as self-pay, with the admissions line staffed 24 hours on 414-454-6600. Inpatient care at Aurora Psychiatric Hospital is billed to the plan in the ordinary way, which makes self-pay rehab and insured inpatient care two separate conversations inside the same system.

PHP, IOP and Outpatient

Advocate Lutheran General in Park Ridge runs an Adult Day Hospital and intensive outpatient program on 847-723-5896, with day hospital Monday to Friday 9am to 2:30pm, IOP on alternating schedules, and an average stay of two to three weeks. Advocate Illinois Masonic’s Clean Start is a six to eight week abstinence-based outpatient program at 913 W Wellington Avenue in Chicago, with individual counseling, SMART Recovery and aftercare. Aurora Psychiatric Hospital offers adult partial hospitalization and IOP alongside its inpatient units.

Does Advocate Aurora Health Need Prior Authorization for Rehab?

The plan decides, not the hospital. On the self-funded teammate plan, outpatient behavioral health and substance use authorization has run through AXCES Behavioral Health Coordination Services on 800-454-6455 since January 1, 2021, while inpatient, outpatient and specialty pharmacy requests went through Advocate Aurora Health on 855-376-2386. From April 1, 2021 the plan’s authorization list covered behavioral health, outpatient services, post-acute care and elective inpatient admissions.

For everyone else the rule comes from the insurer named on the card. Aurora Psychiatric Hospital’s Intake Services handles managed care authorization as part of admission and refers inside or outside the system according to what the plan requires, and the Lutheran General day hospital notes that an insurer may ask for clinical updates during the stay. No published medical necessity criteria were found for AXCES or the teammate plan, so the question for the admissions team is which criteria set the reviewer applies and how continued stay is reviewed.

Do the Co-Branded Plans Require a Referral?

Both Illinois co-branded products are built around a primary care physician who coordinates referrals. Blue Medicare Advocate Health (HMO) launched January 1, 2021 with an Advocate-exclusive network across Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, Kendall, McHenry and Will counties, and BlueCare Direct, sold on and off the Get Covered Illinois exchange and to small groups, works the same way. Aurora Health Quartz Medicare Advantage (HMO) started the same January in eastern Wisconsin, administered by Quartz.

If the Medicaid plan does not include the hospital. Advocate states that when a Medicaid managed care plan does not include Advocate or Aurora, the appointment cannot go ahead and the insurer has to name an in-network provider instead. Illinois hospitals take HealthChoice Illinois plans including Aetna Better Health, BCBSIL Community Health Plan, CountyCare, Meridian, Molina and YouthCare; Wisconsin sites list Anthem, Chorus Community Health Plan, Managed Health Services, Molina, Quartz, iCare and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.

How Much Does Rehab Cost With Advocate Aurora Health?

Out-of-pocket cost is set by the plan, and Aurora directs insurance questions to 888-863-5502 with the instruction to ask the insurer whether the plan includes Aurora Health Care. The clearest published figure is the exception: the Dewey Center 28-day residential program is self-pay, with no price listed. Teammate plan cost sharing and behavioral visit limits are not published either, which makes the benefit call unavoidable.

On the Medicare side, Aurora Health Quartz Medicare Advantage for 2025 included a Quartz CashCard worth up to $1,500 a year plus $75 a quarter for over-the-counter items, $0 virtual urgent visits, acupuncture at a $20 copay and massage at $0 to $20, with benefits subject to change each January 1. Blue Medicare Advocate Health launched with a $0 premium, $0 telehealth and $0 primary care copays; its current counties and benefits were not found. The table below shows what programs bill nationally before any coverage is applied.

Typical US market rates before insurance
Level of care	Monthly	Daily
Medical detox (7–14 days)	$1,500 – $5,200 per week	$215 – $745
Residential inpatient	$6,200 – $26,000	$205 – $865
PHP	$7,200 – $14,000	$240 – $465
IOP	$2,700 – $9,200	$90 – $305
Outpatient	$1,300 – $5,200	$45 – $175

Billing questions go to 847-795-2300 for Advocate and 800-326-2250 for Aurora. Teammates on the medical plan reach customer service on 877-379-0287, and the Aurora employee assistance program allows up to four confidential sessions per issue at no charge, in person, by phone or by video, on 800-236-3231.

Does Advocate Aurora Health Cover Suboxone, Methadone and Other Addiction Medication?

There is no Advocate Aurora formulary, because a hospital system does not maintain one. Drug coverage sits with the insurer or pharmacy benefit on the card. Aurora does run an opiate recovery program covering prescription painkillers and heroin, and the Dewey Center residential program includes psychiatric consultation and medication management with board certified addiction psychiatrists.

What to Ask the Program

Published Advocate and Aurora behavioral pages do not name buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone, so the questions for intake are whether the program starts or continues medication assisted treatment, whether a buprenorphine prescription can be written at discharge, and where a methadone dose would be transferred if the stay interrupts an existing course at a licensed opioid treatment program.

Virtual Care and Mental Health Tools

Virtual visits run through the LiveWell app, and Quartz Medicare Advantage members pay $0 for urgent video and e-visits there. Quartz members also get the AbleTo mental well-being program with appointments inside five business days, while teammate plan enrollees have no-cost virtual primary and urgent care and the Headspace app. Which addiction services run virtually is not stated, so ask before counting on telehealth for counseling.

Which Rehab Centers Are In-Network With Advocate Aurora Health?

Network status belongs to the insurer, not to the hospital system. A program is in network when it holds a contract with the specific product on the card, whether that is a teammate plan, a co-branded HMO or an outside carrier, and the plan’s own provider search settles it. Advocate adds that accepted carriers and plans vary by hospital, so the per-hospital list matters as much as the carrier name.

Programs that accept this plan family are gathered on the Advocate Aurora Health page, with level-of-care pages for inpatient rehab and outpatient rehab alongside it. Each listing shows the payments the program says it accepts, its licensing and accreditation, and the distance to the nearest airport, which narrows the shortlist before the call that settles network status.

How Do I Find a Rehab That Takes Advocate Aurora Health?

Start with the insurer named on the card, then match it against the accepted-plan lists the system publishes. Advocate’s Illinois line is 800-323-8622 and Aurora’s is 833-528-7672, with insurance questions on 888-863-5502. Illinois Masonic takes behavioral appointments on 872-843-0200 and runs a 24-hour crisis line on 773-296-5380.

Advocate’s Illinois list runs to Aetna, BCBSIL PPO, Blue Advantage HMO, BlueCare Direct, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Oscar, Ambetter of Illinois, Molina Marketplace, MultiPlan, HealthLink and TRICARE through Health Net Federal Services, among others.

Is Advocate Aurora Health the Same as Advocate Health or Aurora Health Quartz?

Advocate Aurora Health and Advocate Health are the same organization under two names, the first used from April 2018 until December 2, 2022 and the second since. Aurora Health Quartz Medicare Advantage is different again: Quartz Health Solutions is a separate insurer owned by UW Health, Gundersen Health System and UnityPoint Health, and it administers that HMO on Aurora’s network. Quartz member services is on 800-394-5566, TTY 711.

Before calling a program: read the carrier name and group number off the card rather than the hospital logo, ask whether the program contracts with that exact product, and ask who issues the authorization for the level of care being discussed. Those three answers settle the cost question before any date is set.
