Rehabs That Take Archcare

ArchCare is the health care system of the Archdiocese of New York, offering Medicare special needs and long-term care plans. Coverage can include drug and alcohol treatment.New York treatment centers on this page name Archcare on their websites. Benefits vary by plan, network and level of care, and ArchCare plans are built for members with specific health or long-term care needs, so rules differ between them. Before admission, contact the center and ArchCare member services to check whether the program is in network, whether a care manager must arrange or approve the stay, and what cost may apply. Ask how the plan coordinates with Medicaid.

Common questions

Answered from what is listed here.

What is ArchCare?

ArchCare is the continuing care community of the Archdiocese of New York, run by the nonprofit Catholic Health Care System. It operates nursing homes, home care and Calvary Hospital, and its active health plan is ArchCare Senior Life, a PACE program for adults 55 and over in New York City and Westchester.

It is not a commercial insurer. ArchCare sells no employer or marketplace coverage, and its plans serve adults certified as needing nursing-home-level care.

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

Does ArchCare cover rehab for drugs or alcohol?

Yes. The ArchCare Senior Life participant handbook lists Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, described as treatment to end the excessive use of a substance such as alcohol or drugs, among the Medicare-covered services the PACE program covers. The interdisciplinary care team authorizes the care and arranges it in network.

Individual levels of care are not named in the handbook, so ask the care team at 1-866-263-9083 what treatment it will arrange.

Alcohol Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/addictions/alcohol/

Does ArchCare cover detox?

Yes, but only inside the general PACE substance use benefit. ArchCare Senior Life materials do not name detox, residential care, partial hospitalization or IOP separately. The interdisciplinary care team decides and authorizes the setting with a network provider, and emergency care never needs prior authorization.

Someone who is an inpatient or resident of a New York OASAS facility may apply to PACE, but enrollment can begin only after discharge.

Medicaid Detoxhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/medicaid/medicaid-detox/

Does ArchCare cover inpatient rehab?

Yes, inpatient behavioral health care has been covered. The 2023 ArchCare Advantage plan charged a $1,200 copay per Medicare-covered inpatient mental health admission or stay. Under ArchCare Senior Life, an inpatient stay carries no copay when the PACE interdisciplinary team authorizes it and uses a network hospital.

No ArchCare Advantage documents newer than 2023 are published, so confirm the current terms with the plan before any admission.

Medicare Inpatient Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/medicare/medicare-inpatient-rehab/

Does ArchCare cover partial hospitalization?

Yes. Partial hospitalization cost 20% coinsurance under the 2023 ArchCare Advantage plan, the Medicare Advantage institutional special needs plan. ArchCare Senior Life pays for PACE-authorized care with no copay, although its handbook does not name partial hospitalization as a separate benefit.

Outpatient individual or group substance use sessions also carried 20% coinsurance on the 2023 Advantage plan.

Medicare PHPhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/medicare/medicare-php/

Does ArchCare cover therapy and mental health care?

Yes, both are covered. ArchCare Senior Life lists Mental Health Services, covering prevention, diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, and every participant's care team includes a social worker. The 2023 ArchCare Advantage plan charged $0 for outpatient individual or group therapy, with prior authorization required.

Senior Life commits to an initial behavioral health visit within 10 business days, urgent care within 48 hours, and follow-up within 7 days of hospital or ER discharge.

Medicare Mental Health Treatmenthttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/medicare/medicare-mental-health-treatment/

Does ArchCare need prior authorization for rehab?

Yes. Under ArchCare Senior Life, care must be judged necessary by the primary care physician and care management team, and non-emergency services need a network provider and prior authorization. Emergencies are exempt, and providers call 866-263-9083. The 2023 Advantage plan required authorization for outpatient mental health and opioid treatment program services.

Senior Life participants can be held fully liable for the cost of unauthorized or out-of-program services.

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

Does ArchCare cover methadone?

Yes, with conditions. Methadone tablets, solution and concentrate sit at Tier 1 on the 2026 ArchCare Senior Life formulary with quantity limits, for example 90 tablets per 30 days, and prior authorization. They are listed under opioid analgesics; methadone for opioid use disorder is dispensed through an opioid treatment program.

The 2023 ArchCare Advantage plan covered opioid treatment program services with prior authorization. CVS Caremark administers the PACE pharmacy benefit.

Methadone Medication Clinichttps://rehabseekers.com/medications/mat/methadone/

Does ArchCare cover out-of-network rehab?

No, apart from emergencies. ArchCare Senior Life services must come from network providers and be pre-authorized by the program, and participants can be fully liable for unauthorized or out-of-PACE care. Providers who do not contact ArchCare before non-emergency treatment forfeit the right to bill.

A new participant may continue with a non-network provider for up to 60 days, and for up to 90 days when a provider leaves the network.

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

How much does rehab cost with ArchCare?

Nothing out of pocket under ArchCare Senior Life: PACE covered services have no copayments, and most participants pay no monthly premium, based on income. On the 2023 ArchCare Advantage plan, outpatient substance use sessions and partial hospitalization cost 20% coinsurance and inpatient mental health $1,200 per stay.

Medicaid participants with a spend-down pay it monthly to ArchCare, and private-pay participants pay a private premium instead.

Payment Assistance Availablehttps://rehabseekers.com/payment/payment-assistance-available/

Does ArchCare have a Medicaid plan?

Yes, through PACE. ArchCare Senior Life is a PACE plan under New York's Medicaid managed long-term care program, combining Medicare and Medicaid for nursing-home-eligible adults 55 and over. ArchCare has no mainstream Medicaid managed care plan, and its Medicaid MLTC plan, ArchCare Community Life, has closed.

Medicaid benefits inside Senior Life include dental visits, podiatry and medical transportation. Former Community Life members can call 646-633-4703 for medical records.

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

What states is ArchCare in?

New York only. ArchCare Senior Life serves the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Westchester and part of Rockland County, with day centers in the Bronx, Harlem, Staten Island and Dobbs Ferry. The 2023 ArchCare Advantage service area also included Brooklyn, Queens, Putnam, Dutchess, Orange and Onondaga counties.

Who can join ArchCare Senior Life?

Adults aged 55 and over who are certified by New York State as needing nursing-home-level care, expect to need more than 120 days of community-based long-term care, live in the service area and can live safely at home with PACE support. Enrollment begins with a nursing assessment.

Call 1-866-263-9083 (TTY 711), Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., to schedule that assessment.

How do I find a rehab that takes ArchCare?

Start with the ArchCare Senior Life provider search tool on archcare.org, or call the interdisciplinary team at 1-866-263-9083 (TTY 711). Treatment must be authorized by that team beforehand, so confirm the program is in network and the authorization is in place before admission.

Directory errors can be reported to ProviderRelations@ArchCare.org or 1-866-263-9083, Option 1, and ArchCare corrects them within 15 calendar days.

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

Is ArchCare the same as Catholic Health?

No. Catholic Health-LIFE is a separate PACE plan serving Erie County around Buffalo and is not an ArchCare entity. ArchCare is the trade name of Catholic Health Care System, the Archdiocese of New York's continuing care community, which New York regulators list as owned by Providence Health Services.

ArchCare is also not a Blue Cross Blue Shield licensee, and its plan entities include Catholic Managed Long Term Care and Catholic Special Needs Plan.

ArchCare is the continuing care community of the Archdiocese of New York, a nonprofit system of nursing homes, home care and hospice run by Catholic Health Care System, Inc. that also operates health plans. Its active plan is ArchCare Senior Life, a PACE program combining Medicare and Medicaid for adults 55 and older who are certified as needing nursing-home-level care but who live at home.

That shape decides how addiction treatment is arranged. ArchCare sells no employer or marketplace coverage, so there is no commercial network to shop. Under PACE an interdisciplinary care team arranges and authorizes every non-emergency service, and the participant handbook lists “Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services” among the Medicare-covered services, defined as treatment to end the excessive use of a substance such as alcohol or drugs. Two other ArchCare plans complicate the picture: ArchCare Community Life, the Medicaid managed long term care plan, has closed, and ArchCare Advantage, the Medicare Advantage institutional special needs plan, has no published documents newer than 2023.

This guide covers which ArchCare plan pays for what, where prior authorization applies, what treatment costs under PACE and under the last published Advantage figures, how medication for opioid and alcohol use is handled on the formulary, and how to reach a New York program that ArchCare will pay for.

Does ArchCare Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

Yes, within the rules of the plan. ArchCare Senior Life names alcohol and substance use services among its covered Medicare services, with no copayment attached, provided the PACE care team authorizes the care and a network provider delivers it. The 2023 ArchCare Advantage plan covered outpatient sessions, partial hospitalization, inpatient psychiatric care and opioid treatment program services.

PACE is a combined Medicare and Medicaid benefit, so the usual split between medical coverage and long-term care does not apply. Enrollment requires New York State certification of nursing-home eligibility, residence in the service area and a need for more than 120 days of community-based long-term care. Anyone who is an inpatient or resident of an OASAS addiction facility may apply, but enrollment can begin only after discharge.

What Does ArchCare Senior Life Pay For at Each Level of Care?

The handbook and the plan brochure do not break the benefit into named levels of care. Detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and medication treatment are not listed separately, so the level is settled case by case by the interdisciplinary team on the basis of medical, physical, emotional and social needs rather than by a published benefit grid.

Medical Detox

Withdrawal management is not named in the PACE documents, so a participant or caregiver should ask the care team how medical detox is authorized before anything is scheduled. Emergencies are the exception to every authorization rule: alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause seizures, and an emergency department is the right destination in acute withdrawal, with the hospital calling 866-263-9083 afterwards.

Residential and Inpatient

PACE is built around care at home with day health center support, so an extended residential rehab stay is a question for the team rather than an assumed benefit. Under the 2023 ArchCare Advantage plan, inpatient mental health care carried a $1,200 copay per Medicare-covered admission or stay.

PHP, IOP and Outpatient

The 2023 Advantage plan priced partial hospitalization at 20% coinsurance and outpatient substance use sessions, individual or group, at the same 20%. Outpatient mental health therapy was $0 with prior authorization. Senior Life commits to behavioral health access standards instead of copays: an initial clinic or professional visit within 10 business days, urgent care within 48 hours, follow-up within 7 days of a hospital or emergency discharge, and non-urgent follow-up within 10 business days.

Which ArchCare plan is on the card? ArchCare Senior Life is the PACE program, active in the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Westchester and part of Rockland. ArchCare Advantage was a Medicare Advantage institutional special needs plan under contract H1777, with no plan documents published since 2023. ArchCare Community Life, the Medicaid managed long term care plan, has closed and no longer appears in the New York State Department of Health plan directory.

Does ArchCare Need Prior Authorization for Rehab?

Yes for almost everything. Under ArchCare Senior Life a service has to be deemed necessary by the primary care physician and the care management team, come from a network provider and carry prior authorization before it is delivered. Emergency care is the exception and needs no authorization; the treating provider calls 866-263-9083. The 2023 Advantage plan required authorization for outpatient mental health therapy and for opioid treatment program services.

No named medical necessity standard such as ASAM or InterQual appears in the published PACE material, which is worth knowing before an admissions team asks which criteria set applies. The decision belongs to the interdisciplinary team, and a social worker sits on every participant’s team, so a request for mental health treatment or addiction care can start there.

What Happens If Treatment Is Out of Network?

A PACE participant can be held fully liable for unauthorized or out-of-PACE services, and a provider who does not contact ArchCare before delivering non-emergency care forfeits the right to bill. New arrivals may continue with a non-network provider for up to 60 days, and anyone whose provider leaves the network may continue for up to 90 days.

<div style="background: #fff3ec; border-left: 4px solid #fe632d; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; padding: 16px; margin: 12px 0;

“>

If an appointment cannot be found in time. When the behavioral health access standards above cannot be met, ArchCare Senior Life takes an Access Complaint, locates an in-network or out-of-network provider and sends the contact details within 3 business days. Directory errors go to ProviderRelations@ArchCare.org or 1-866-263-9083, Option 1, and are corrected within 15 calendar days.

How Much Does Rehab Cost With ArchCare?

Under ArchCare Senior Life, nothing for authorized care. Covered services carry no copayments and no out-of-pocket expenses, and most participants pay no monthly premium or cost share, depending on income. A Medicaid participant with a spend-down pays that amount monthly to ArchCare, and a private-pay participant pays a private premium instead.

The Advantage figures are older and come from the 2023 plan year: a $38.90 monthly premium on top of the Part B premium, no in-network medical deductible, a maximum out-of-pocket of $8,300, a $505 Part D deductible followed by 25% coinsurance in the initial and coverage gap stages, and the behavioral health cost shares listed above. Nothing newer than 2023 has been published for that plan, so a current Advantage member should ask what applies this year.

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

Those are the sums a New York program would bill without coverage, and they are the exposure a PACE participant takes on by arranging an intensive outpatient program or a residential stay without authorization. The authorization step, not the sticker price, is what decides the bill.

Does ArchCare Cover Methadone, Suboxone and Other Addiction Medication?

Partly, and the formulary is where it is settled. The ArchCare Senior Life 2026 formulary, ID 00026079, Version 15, current as of October 1, 2026, lists methadone tablets, solution and concentrate at Tier 1 with quantity limits, for example 90 tablets per 30 days, and prior authorization. They appear under opioid analgesics, while methadone for opioid use disorder is normally dispensed by a licensed opioid treatment program rather than a retail pharmacy.

What the Published Formulary Does Not Settle

Buprenorphine transdermal patch, a pain product, is Tier 1 with a quantity limit and prior authorization. The status of buprenorphine-naloxone and sublingual buprenorphine, and of extended-release naltrexone, is not readable in the published formulary pages, so a participant starting medication should ask the care team for the current tier, quantity limit and step therapy rule in writing.

Where the Prescription Is Filled

CVS Caremark administers the ArchCare Senior Life pharmacy benefit, and PACE pharmacy member services is 1-866-412-5435 (TTY 711). Under the 2023 Advantage plan, Part D coverage decisions were handled by CVS Caremark Part D Services on 1-855-344-0930. Medication given inside an opioid treatment program is authorized as a program service, which is why it never shows up as a pharmacy fill.

Which Rehab Centers in New York Are In-Network With ArchCare?

A program is in network when it holds a contract with the specific ArchCare plan a member is enrolled in and the care team authorizes the service in advance. Addiction programs in the state hold a license from the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports. Network status is settled through the Senior Life provider search tool on archcare.org or on 1-866-263-9083.

New York has 1,100+ listed treatment programs, 1,061 of which accept Medicaid, concentrated in New York, NY, Bronx, NY, Brooklyn, NY and Buffalo, NY. Programs that accept ArchCare are gathered on the ArchCare page, alongside the wider New York and New York Medicaid listings. Each listing shows the payments the program says it accepts, 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. Counts updated October 2026.

How Do I Find a Rehab That Takes ArchCare?

Start with the care team rather than a directory search. Senior Life members reach the interdisciplinary team for mental health and substance use help on 1-866-263-9083 (TTY 711), Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the same number answering as a nurse advice line after hours.

Is ArchCare the Same as Catholic Health-LIFE?

No. Catholic Health-LIFE is a separate PACE plan serving Erie County around Buffalo and has no corporate link to ArchCare. ArchCare is Catholic Health Care System, Inc. of 205 Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, owned within the Archdiocese of New York health ministry by Providence Health Services, Inc. according to the state Department of Financial Services. Its plan entities are Catholic Managed Long Term Care, Inc. for Senior Life and Catholic Special Needs Plan, LLC for Advantage, and Senior Life has an announced network arrangement with Montefiore Health System that lets a participant keep a Montefiore community primary care physician.
