Rehabs That Take COMPREHENSIVE CARE MANAGEMENT CORP (CCMC)

Does CCMC Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

Yes. The CenterLight PACE enrollment agreement lists “alcohol and substance abuse services” as a covered service, and covered inpatient hospital care includes alcohol, substance use and psychiatric services when the PACE primary care provider admits the participant. Everything runs through the care plan, so the interdisciplinary team decides the setting and authorizes it in advance.

PACE covers all care that Medicare and Medicaid cover, plus other services the team judges necessary, which is a broader benefit than most plans write. The trade-off is that the team, not the participant, selects the program. Enrollment in CenterLight PACE also ends enrollment in any other Medicare or Medicaid plan, and joining a separate Medicare drug plan ends PACE enrollment.

Medical Detox

Withdrawal management is not itemized in the documents CenterLight publishes, so a participant who needs medical detox should ask participant services how it is authorized and in which setting. Inpatient alcohol and substance use care is covered on admission by the PACE primary care provider, and acute withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines is an emergency, where calling 911 comes first and notifying the plan comes after.

Residential and Inpatient

Inpatient hospital treatment for alcohol and substance use sits inside the covered benefit, and nursing home care is covered as well. Free-standing residential rehab is not named separately in the enrollment agreement, which is the point to raise with the care team rather than with an admissions line, since the authorization decision belongs to the team.

PHP, IOP and Outpatient

Day treatment is the shape PACE already takes: care is usually delivered at an adult day health center, with transportation and meals included. Whether a separate intensive outpatient program or structured outpatient rehab is added to the care plan is an interdisciplinary team decision, and a request can be made at any care plan review.

Does CenterLight PACE Cover Therapy and Mental Health Care?

Yes. Psychiatry and psychology services for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders are covered, and social work covers mental health, social and environmental issues along with help with benefits. Psychiatry is offered through the Diagnostic Treatment Center at select centers.

No outside behavioral health vendor is named in anything CenterLight publishes, which suggests coordination sits with the in-house team. Counseling focused on health and adjustment issues is listed on the care services pages, together with caregiver support, so a family carrying the weight of a parent’s drinking has a route in as well.

Does CCMC Need Prior Authorization for Rehab?

Yes. All care needs advance authorization from the interdisciplinary team, except emergency care and urgently needed care while temporarily outside the service area. The team authorizes services as part of the care plan, and once a service is authorized CenterLight pays the contracted provider directly, so no bill reaches the participant.

Emergency care is covered anywhere in the United States without prior approval, and CenterLight asks to be notified within 48 hours. Being outside the service area for more than 30 days can lead to disenrollment, which rules out an out-of-state residential stay unless the team has arranged it. Prescription exceptions and drug authorizations go through the plan’s coverage determination form or the pharmacy benefit manager’s online form.

How Much Does Rehab Cost With CCMC?

Nothing, for care the PACE team authorizes. PACE carries no deductible, copayment or coinsurance for drugs, services or care in the plan. A participant with New York Medicaid pays no monthly premium and pays any spenddown, also called a surplus, to CenterLight. A Medicare-only participant pays an amount equal to the Medicaid capitation rate plus a drug premium to CenterLight, and Part A and Part B premiums to Medicare.

CenterLight does not publish dollar figures for those monthly payments, so a Medicare-only or private-pay applicant should ask participant services for the current amount in writing before enrolling. The figures below are what a program bills without any coverage, which is the comparison that makes the authorization step worth the phone call.

Does CCMC Cover Suboxone, Methadone and Other Addiction Medication?

Yes. On the 2026 CenterLight PACE formulary, buprenorphine sublingual tablets at 2 mg and 8 mg sit on Tier 2 with no restrictions listed, and buprenorphine-naloxone sublingual film and tablets, sold as Suboxone, are also Tier 2 with none listed. Oral naltrexone 50 mg is Tier 2 without restrictions.

Methadone oral tablets are Tier 2 with quantity limits, 180 per 30 days at 5 mg and 120 per 30 days at 10 mg; the formulary does not say whether those entries cover pain or opioid treatment program dosing, so dosing at a licensed opioid treatment program is a question for participant services. Acamprosate 333 mg and disulfiram at 250 mg and 500 mg are Tier 2. Naloxone injection is Tier 2, Narcan nasal spray 4 mg is Tier 2 with a limit of 4 per 30 days, and Kloxxado 8 mg is Tier 3 with the same limit. Vivitrol, Sublocade, Zubsolv and Lucemyra were not found in the formulary text reviewed.

Where the Prescription Is Filled

MedImpact is the pharmacy benefit manager for CenterLight PACE and runs the online pharmacy directory, so a drug’s tier and any limit are checked there rather than through a medical benefit lookup. Medication given during an authorized inpatient stay is part of that stay.

Transition Fills for New Participants

A new participant can get a one-time temporary fill of at least a month’s supply during the first 90 days, and a dual-eligible participant pays nothing for that fill. For anyone already stabilized on buprenorphine at enrollment, that window is the time to get the ongoing prescription settled with the care team.

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

A program is in-network when it holds a contract with CenterLight Healthcare for the PACE program and is licensed in New York for the level of care it delivers. Network status is settled in the Find A Provider tool on the CenterLight site, which describes a network of more than 4,000 providers, or by calling participant services.

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 CCMC are gathered on the Comprehensive Care Management Corp page, alongside Medicaid rehab and Medicare detox listings for dual-eligible participants. 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 shortlist can be drawn up before the call that settles network status. Counts updated October 2026.

How Do I Find a Rehab That Takes CCMC?

Start with the care team, not the directory. Call 1-833-252-2737 (1-833-CL-CARES), TTY 711, Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and ask for a substance use assessment and an interdisciplinary team referral; on-call staff cover weekends and after hours. The Find A Provider tool on the CenterLight site shows which contracted programs are available, and the team arranges the authorization.

Enrollment itself is limited to adults aged 55 and over who live in the service area, need a nursing-home level of care but can live safely at home, need more than 120 days of community-based long-term care, and hold Medicaid, Medicare Part A with Part B, or the means to pay privately. The service area is Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, Richmond, Nassau, Western Suffolk and Westchester counties, served by 11 PACE centers and one alternative care setting. Anyone outside those counties, or under 55, is looking at a different route into treatment in New York.

Is CCMC the Same as CenterLight Healthcare?

Yes. Comprehensive Care Management Corporation became CenterLight Healthcare, Inc. on December 20, 2011, and the parent system, the Beth Abraham Family of Health Services, rebranded as CenterLight Health System in an announcement made in February 2012. Comprehensive Care Management was then the system’s managed care division with more than 6,400 members.

CCMC joined the PACE demonstration in 1992 and was approved as a permanent PACE provider by CMS and the New York State Department of Health in November 2003, with about 1,200 enrollees and six centers at the time. Its sole corporate member in 2008 was Bethco Corporation. A treatment program still listing “CCMC” or “CCM Select” is naming a payer that has since changed both its name and its product line.

Is CCMC the Same as Comprehensive Care Corporation (CompCare)?

No. Comprehensive Care Corporation, known as CompCare, is a Delaware corporation organized in 1969 and based in Tampa, Florida, which managed psychiatric and substance use services through its subsidiary Comprehensive Behavioral Care, Inc. The names are close enough to cause mix-ups at an admissions desk, so the member card is the thing to read rather than the acronym.
