Common questions

Answered from what is listed here.

What is APS (American Psych Systems)?

American Psych Systems, Inc. was the Maryland operating company behind APS Healthcare, a managed behavioral health and employee assistance firm founded in 1992. It is not a health insurer: it manages mental health and substance use benefits, authorizations and provider networks on behalf of health plans and employers.

Today the APS name is active mainly in Puerto Rico, where APS Health manages behavioral health benefits and runs 16 APS ProClinics across the island.

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

Is American Psych Systems the same as APS Healthcare?

Yes. These are two names for one business: American Psych Systems was the Maryland operating subsidiary of APS Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its contracts were filed with APS Healthcare's 2001 securities registration. Members often saw either name on plan paperwork.

In Puerto Rico the business now trades as APS Health, with three divisions: APS HealthCare/WeCare, the APS ProClinics outpatient network, and the APS OptiMind employee assistance program.

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

Does APS Healthcare still exist?

No, not on the US mainland. Universal American sold the mainland APS Healthcare business to KEPRO in 2015, and KEPRO became Acentra Health in June 2023. The Puerto Rico operation went to a Metro Pavia Health System affiliate and continues today as APS Health.

The old apshealthcare.com site states the company was acquired. If a program names APS, ask which plan or vendor now handles the behavioral health benefit.

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

Is APS Healthcare the same as Acentra Health?

Yes, in corporate terms. KEPRO acquired the US mainland APS Healthcare business in 2015, merged with CNSI in December 2022, and renamed itself Acentra Health in June 2023. Acentra provides care management and utilization review for public health agencies and is not a health insurer.

Acentra's own pages do not mention APS, so a program advertising APS coverage is usually pointing to an older employer or health plan contract.

Does APS cover rehab?

Yes, where APS manages a plan's behavioral health benefit, treatment for drug, alcohol, tobacco and prescription medication use is included. APS is not the insurer; it authorizes care and manages the network while the health plan pays. Its ProClinics provide evaluation, an individual treatment plan and family support.

Levels of care and cost sharing come from your own plan, so confirm benefits with the plan and with the program before admission.

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

Does APS cover detox?

Yes. The APS provider manual covers medical detoxification facilities, including 24/7 admissions where offered, certified substance use staff, drug screens and aftercare, and it treats inpatient detox as an emergency intervention. Authorization rules still apply, and the member's health plan sets the benefit and cost share.

No residential substance use level of care is described in that manual, so ask APS directly about longer residential stays before you plan one.

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

Does APS require prior authorization for inpatient treatment?

Yes. Psychiatric inpatient admissions need pre-authorization with concurrent review, while partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient both require a call to APS for authorization or evaluation. Prospective review applies to all service requests, and electroconvulsive therapy is authorized by an APS physician advisor.

Medical necessity decisions draw on CMS coverage determinations, MCG guidelines, Puerto Rico's mental health law, and APS's own utilization management guidelines.

Inpatient Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/programs/inpatient/

Does APS cover IOP?

Yes. APS ProClinics run an intensive outpatient program for individuals who need frequent visits or step-down support after a hospital discharge, with midday cognitive behavioral therapy groups. The mental health IOP launched in March 2023 runs 10 group sessions, three times a week, 9am to 12pm.

That program also includes family therapy and medication management, and operates in Caguas, Mayaguez, Aguadilla, Ponce and San Juan. Authorization from APS is needed first.

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

Does APS cover Suboxone?

Yes. Buprenorphine, the active medication in Suboxone, is offered at APS ProClinics together with therapy for heroin and prescription opioid use. A Puerto Rico government leaflet from the Mi Salud era said buprenorphine was covered with APS as contractor, with a first appointment within two weeks.

No published APS policy on methadone or naltrexone was found, so ask the clinic or your health plan which medications are covered for you.

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

Does APS offer online therapy?

Yes. APS clinics offer telehealth visits by video or phone. In-person care is still required for new patients, for individuals returning after a hospital discharge, for those with addiction disorders, and for anyone on depot injections or other treatment that must be given face to face.

Appointments can be booked through the APS online form, with contact back within 24 business hours, or by calling ProClinics at 787-641-9133.

Online Rehab and Telehealthhttps://rehabseekers.com/programs/online-rehab-and-telehealth/

What plans does APS accept in Puerto Rico?

APS ProClinics accept Triple S Vital, PSM Vital from Plan de Salud Menonita, FM Vital from First Medical, MMM Vital, Triple S Advantage, FM Comercial and Humana Medicare Advantage. Individuals whose plan is not accepted may pay privately and request reimbursement from their insurer.

The clinics take cash, checks, money orders, ATH and ATH Movil, and offer payment plans to spread the cost of a deductible.

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

Does Plan Vital use APS for mental health?

Yes, for most plans. Triple-S, First Medical and Plan de Salud Menonita subcontract all Plan Vital mental health and substance use services to APS. MMM is the exception and contracts its own behavioral health providers, though APS ProClinics still list MMM Vital as accepted.

Plan Vital is Puerto Rico's Medicaid program and covers about 1.3 million beneficiaries, with physical and behavioral health integrated since 2015.

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

Does APS take Medicare?

Yes, through Medicare Advantage. APS ProClinics accept Triple S Advantage and Humana Medicare Advantage, and APS keeps a Medicare Advantage line of business for provider contracting. Coverage rules, copays and authorization requirements come from the Medicare Advantage plan rather than from APS itself.

The APS provider manual also references Medicare guidelines covering chemical dependency treatment and inpatient stays for alcohol use, which shape what will be authorized.

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

What is the APS phone number for mental health?

The 24/7 behavioral health team in Puerto Rico is reached at the number on the back of your plan card or at 787-641-0774, option 2. APS HealthCare's main line is 787-641-0773, ProClinics appointments 787-641-9133, and the OptiMind employee assistance line 787-522-4616.

In an emergency call 911. Puerto Rico's government crisis line, Linea PAS from ASSMCA, answers 24 hours a day at 1-800-981-0023.

How do I find a rehab that takes APS?

Start with the provider search tool at prlocator.com, or submit the APS online booking form and expect contact within 24 business hours. You can also call ProClinics at 787-641-9133. Then confirm with the program that it is in network for your specific plan.

Ask whether authorization or a referral is needed before admission and what you would pay; programs naming APS are listed here with their contact details.

APS (American Psych Systems) is not a health insurer. It is the managed behavioral health and employee assistance company incorporated in Maryland as American Psych Systems, Inc. and known in later years as APS Healthcare, hired by health plans and employers to run intake, authorization, referrals and the behavioral health network. The benefit belongs to the health plan; APS is the company that decides what the plan authorizes and which clinician or program delivers it.

That split decides how an admission actually happens. Under its 1998 agreement with Priority Health in Michigan, APS handled intake, pre-authorization, referrals, utilization review, case management, discharge planning, network credentialing and a 24-hour toll-free triage line, paid by a monthly capitation for each member. The company then changed hands repeatedly: H.I.G. Capital took a stake in 2004, GTCR bought it in 2007, and Universal American acquired it in 2012. In 2015 the Puerto Rico subsidiaries went to an affiliate of Metro Pavia Health System and the mainland business went to KEPRO, which merged with CNSI and was renamed Acentra Health in June 2023.

Under the APS name, the operation still running today is APS Health in Puerto Rico, which manages mental health and substance use benefits for Plan Vital health plans and operates its own clinics. This guide covers what APS authorizes at each level of care, where pre-authorization applies and what criteria are used, what a member actually pays, how medication is handled, and how to find a program that works with APS.

Does APS Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

APS does not pay the bill; the health plan does. Where APS manages the behavioral health benefit, it authorizes the substance use services the plan will pay for and routes the member to a contracted clinician or program. In Puerto Rico, APS manages those benefits for Plan Vital plans and its own ProClinics deliver substance use treatment directly.

The scope is broad on paper. APS ProClinics treat substance use involving drugs, alcohol, tobacco and prescription medication, starting with an evaluation and an individual treatment plan that includes family support. Psychiatric evaluation and treatment, individual, couples, family and group therapy, support groups and home visits are offered for adults, children and adolescents. One sequencing rule matters: a psychologist evaluation comes first, and the referral to a psychiatrist follows from it, even when a private psychologist made the original referral.

What Does APS Authorize at Each Level of Care?

The 2020 APS Healthcare Puerto Rico provider manual describes withdrawal management, inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment, with authorization rules attached to each. No residential substance use level is described in the published material, so that is a question for the plan and for APS before anyone travels.

Medical Detox

The manual addresses medical detoxification facilities, including round-the-clock admissions where a program offers them, certified substance use staff, drug screening and aftercare planning. Inpatient detox is also described as an emergency intervention, which is the route when withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines is already underway and seizure risk is real.

Residential and Inpatient

Inpatient psychiatric admission requires pre-authorization and is then reviewed concurrently against medical necessity criteria. Medicare guidelines listed in the manual include chemical dependency treatment and inpatient stays for alcohol use. Because residential rehab is not spelled out, ask APS and the plan which benefit category a residential stay would fall under before admission.

PHP, IOP and Outpatient

APS keeps internal guidelines for partial hospitalization, and its clinics run an intensive outpatient program for anyone needing frequent visits or a step down after hospital discharge, built around midday cognitive behavioral therapy groups. A mental health IOP launched in March 2023 in Caguas, Mayaguez and Aguadilla, then Ponce and San Juan, runs ten group sessions three times a week from 9am to 12pm with family therapy and medication management alongside. No visit limits are stated on APS pages.

Which APS is on the card? A Plan Vital member with Triple-S, First Medical or Plan de Salud Menonita has mental health and substance use services delegated to APS; MMM contracts its own clinicians instead. A mainland employer plan that once listed APS is describing a legacy contract, since that business passed to KEPRO and now sits with Acentra Health, which is not an insurer either.

Does APS Need Prior Authorization for Rehab?

Yes for inpatient psychiatric care, and yes for partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment, where the clinician or program calls APS for authorization or for an evaluation. Prospective review applies to all service requests in the Puerto Rico manual, and electroconvulsive therapy is authorized by an APS physician advisor. Inpatient admissions are then reviewed again during the stay.

The admissions team usually makes that call, but the member or family should ask for the authorization number and the number of days authorized, because the concurrent review is what decides whether the stay continues. Historically the approach was lighter: in its 2001 filing the company said it limited pre-authorization and subsequent review in many cases and used an outpatient authorization system called CareConnection in Georgia.

What Criteria Does APS Use to Decide Medical Necessity?

Medical necessity decisions draw on Medicare national and local coverage determinations, MCG guidelines adopted by APS, Puerto Rico’s mental health law and the company’s own utilization management policy. ASAM criteria are not mentioned in the manual, so a program that writes its justification in ASAM language should ask APS how that maps to the guidelines actually in use.

How Much Does Rehab Cost With APS?

APS publishes no copay, coinsurance or deductible figures, because the cost share belongs to the health plan rather than to APS. For a Plan Vital member the plan’s Medicaid rules govern; for a Medicare Advantage or commercial member, the plan’s own schedule does. APS ProClinics offer payment plans for deductibles and take cash, checks, money orders, ATH and ATH Movil.

Ask the plan for the cost share attached to inpatient care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient treatment and office visits, and ask APS what it has authorized, before any date is agreed. The figures below are what a program bills without coverage, which is the number that matters when no authorization is in place.

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

If the plan is not one APS accepts. APS says a patient whose plan is not accepted may pay privately and then request reimbursement from the plan. No out-of-network benefit rules are published, so the reimbursement question goes to the plan first, in writing, rather than after the bill arrives.

Does APS Cover Suboxone, Methadone and Other Addiction Medication?

Buprenorphine yes, and the rest is unpublished. APS ProClinics provide buprenorphine treatment combined with therapy for heroin and prescription opioid use. A Puerto Rico government leaflet from the Mi Salud era named APS Healthcare as the contractor for buprenorphine coverage, with a first appointment within two weeks with a certified prescriber. No APS statement on methadone or naltrexone was found.

What to Ask About Methadone and Naltrexone

Ask APS whether a methadone clinic admission is authorized as a program service or billed through the health plan, and ask the plan whether the extended-release naltrexone injection sits on the medical benefit or the pharmacy benefit. Those two answers decide who authorizes the first dose and who pays for it.

Therapy by Video and Phone

APS clinics offer telehealth by video or phone, with stated exceptions: a new patient, a patient just discharged from hospital, anyone receiving depot injections, and anyone being treated for an addiction disorder is seen in person. Anyone planning on remote care for opioid or alcohol treatment should assume in-person visits at the start.

Where the EAP Stops

APS OptiMind, the employee assistance arm, gives employees and supervisors confidential counseling for stress, anxiety, depression and family conflict, workshops that include addiction topics, occupational evaluations including Drug Free Workplace reports, and a 24-hour clinical team. It does not state that it pays for treatment, so the EAP is a doorway to assessment and the health plan is the payer. OptiMind can be reached on 787-522-4616 or 877-955-9554.

Which Rehab Centers Are In-Network With APS?

A program is in network when it holds a contract for the member’s specific product and has been credentialed into the APS network, which in Puerto Rico runs centrally through the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance for commercial and Vital plans. Network status is settled by the plan’s provider directory and the APS number on the back of the member card.

Programs that accept APS are gathered on the APS (American Psych Systems) page, alongside pages for detox centers, outpatient rehab and private insurance accepted. Each listing shows the payments the program says it takes, its licensing and accreditation, and how far it sits from the nearest airport, so a family can shortlist before the call that settles network status with the plan.

How Do I Find a Rehab That Takes APS?

Call the APS number on the back of the plan card, or in Puerto Rico call APS HealthCare on 787-641-0773, the round-the-clock behavioral health team on 787-641-0774 option 2, or ProClinics appointments on 787-641-9133. APS also takes requests through an online form, with contact within 24 business hours, and lists a provider search at prlocator.com. In an emergency, call 911; the government crisis line, Linea PAS, is 1-800-981-0023.

APS ProClinics accept Triple S Vital, PSM Vital, FM Vital, MMM Vital, Triple S Advantage, FM Comercial and Humana Medicare Advantage, with 16 clinic locations from Aguadilla and Mayaguez in the west to Humacao and Carolina in the east. Access has been contested: a May 2022 report by the Medicaid agency ASES found APS had admitted 82 of 293 psychiatrists to its network, with clinic backlogs and medication access problems, and counted 15 municipalities without a psychologist and 32 without a psychiatrist. APS disputed the report as an unpublished draft. Ask about waiting times for the first evaluation at the point of booking.

Is APS the Same as APS Healthcare, APS Health or Acentra Health?

Not quite. American Psych Systems, Inc. was the Maryland operating company under APS Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation founded in 1992 that began in partial hospitalization and moved into managed behavioral health in 1995. APS Health is the Puerto Rico successor, with three divisions: APS HealthCare for behavioral health management, APS ProClinics for outpatient care, and APS OptiMind for employee assistance. Acentra Health holds the former mainland business and works with state Medicaid agencies rather than selling coverage. Commercial carve-out clients named in the 2001 filing, among them Blue Cross and Blue Shield organizations, Kaiser Permanente and Humana, are historic.

Before calling a program: have the health plan name and member number ready, ask whether APS manages the behavioral health benefit on that plan, and ask the admissions team whether it is contracted with APS for that product. Those three answers settle the authorization route before anyone discusses dates.
