Rehabs That Take Preferred Plan, Inc. (PPI)

Preferred Plan, Inc. (PPI) is named by treatment centers in Missouri and Wisconsin as accepted coverage. Plans connected with PPI can include benefits for drug and alcohol treatment, though what applies depends on the specific plan, the provider network and the level of care needed. Sites also list it as Healthcare Preferred.

Listed centers name PPI on their own websites. Anyone planning treatment should call the facility and the plan before admission to ask whether the center is in network, whether prior authorization or a referral is required, and what the deductible, copays or coinsurance may look like. Have your member ID card ready when you call.

Common questions

Answered from what is listed here.

What is Preferred Plan, Inc. (PPI)?

Preferred Plan, Inc. was an Atlanta, Georgia PPO network, operational since 1992, that employers, insurers and claims administrators rented for access to discounted provider rates. It was not an insurer and set no benefits of its own. A 1998 industry directory credited it with 580,984 enrollees.

Its network then held 11,098 primary care practitioners, 33,140 specialists and 666 hospitals, all under direct contract rather than leased from another network.

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

Does Preferred Plan cover rehab?

Yes, when the health plan that rents the network covers it. Preferred Plan was a PPO network rather than a payer, so addiction treatment benefits, covered levels of care and cost sharing come from the employer plan, insurer or claims administrator named on the member ID card.

Mental health sat inside the 1998 network, but no separate substance use service line was listed, so ask the plan administrator which programs are in network.

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

Does Preferred Plan cover mental health treatment?

Yes, mental health was one of the services carried in the Preferred Plan network, alongside general medical, vision, chiropractic, prescription and workers' compensation. Visit limits, copays and any behavioral health carve-out were decided by the employer plan or insurer that rented the network, not by the network itself.

No behavioral health vendor was ever named for this network, so the client plan decides whether counseling runs through a separate carve-out company.

Counseling and Therapyhttps://rehabseekers.com/therapies/counseling-and-therapy/

Does Preferred Plan need prior authorization for rehab?

Yes, authorization was commonly part of the arrangement. In 1998 Preferred Plan ran its own utilization review, covering preadmission hospital review, precertification, concurrent review, length-of-stay determination, discharge planning and case management. Whether an addiction treatment admission needs authorization now depends on the rules of the plan renting the network.

The Chandler Group, later shown as the umbrella for The Preferred Plan, held a precertification trademark, suggesting review may have moved to its own management arm.

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

What states does Preferred Plan operate in?

Its 1998 direct service area covered 13 jurisdictions: Arizona, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. No leased states appeared in that listing, and no current source shows the network operating in any state today.

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

Is Preferred Plan still in business?

No, nothing shows it operating under that name in 2025 or 2026. Its old website no longer responds, and the accepted-insurance lists published by Atlanta's Grady and Emory health systems do not include it. It was likely wound down or absorbed into a larger rental network.

If an older card still shows the Preferred Plan logo, call the claims administrator printed beside it to learn which network now applies.

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

Who owns Preferred Plan, Inc.?

A 1998 industry directory named DRSR Inc. as the parent company. Later provider lists place the network under The Chandler Group of Managed Care Companies, accessed through Community Care Network, and a 2017 Georgia list pairs 'Preferred Plan of GA' with MultiPlan. No current owner is documented.

Is Preferred Plan the same as Preferred Health Plan?

No. Preferred Health Plan, Inc. is a Louisville, Kentucky third-party administrator founded in 1983 with the Partnership PPO network, which HealthSmart agreed to acquire in March 2014. Preferred Plan, Inc. was a separate Atlanta PPO network with no documented link to it.

Two other similar names cause mix-ups: Preferred Medical Plan, Inc., a Florida HMO, and Preferred Health Network of Long Beach, California.

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

Is Preferred Plan the same as MultiPlan?

No, they are not shown to be the same company. A Georgia provider list current in September 2017 carries entries reading 'Multi-Plan/Preferred Plan of GA', which suggests Georgia access to the network ran through MultiPlan by that point. No merger or acquisition record was found.

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

Does Preferred Plan have a Medicaid or Medicare plan?

No. Neither a Medicaid plan nor a Medicare Advantage product was ever found under this name. The 1998 enrollment breakdown covered only group health, individual and workers' compensation lines, which fits a rented PPO network rather than a licensed insurer holding government contracts.

If you have Medicaid or Medicare and a card showing a PPO network logo, the government plan, not the network, decides treatment benefits.

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

Does Preferred Plan cover out-of-network rehab?

No, the network itself pays nothing out of network. Out-of-network benefits come from the client health plan behind the card, since Preferred Plan supplied contracted in-network providers only. Whether a non-contracted program is paid at all, and at what coinsurance, is the plan's decision.

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

Does Preferred Plan cover Suboxone?

Yes, if the plan behind the card includes it. Prescription coverage was listed among the network services in 1998, but no formulary or medication policy was published. Buprenorphine, naltrexone and methadone benefits, including any prior authorization step, are set by the client plan or its pharmacy benefit manager.

Suboxone and Buprenorphine Rehab That Takes Insurancehttps://rehabseekers.com/medications/mat/suboxone-and-buprenorphine-insurance/

How do I find a rehab that takes Preferred Plan?

Start with the member ID card: the network logo shows which network applies, and the claims or member services number reaches the administrator who handles addiction treatment benefits and in-network programs. Historically, access to this network ran through Community Care Network under the Chandler Group.

Call the treatment center too and ask which networks it contracts with and what authorization the plan requires before admission.

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

Does Preferred Plan cover workers' compensation treatment?

Yes, workers' compensation was one of its network lines. The 1998 directory counted 156,000 workers' compensation enrollees alongside 412,984 group health and 12,000 individual members, and named workers' compensation among the services sold to employers, insurers and claims administrators.

Preferred Plan, Inc., listed in industry directories as The Preferred Plan, was an Atlanta preferred provider organization network rather than an insurance company. Employers, insurers and claims administrators rented it to reach discounted provider rates, which means the addiction treatment benefit behind a card carrying that logo came from the health plan or claims administrator that leased the network, not from Preferred Plan.

The record is thin and old. A December 1998 directory describes a for-profit network operational since 1992, with 580,984 enrollees split between 412,984 group health, 12,000 individual and 156,000 workers’ compensation, and direct contracts with 11,098 primary care practitioners, 33,140 specialists and 666 hospitals. Its direct service area then ran across Arizona, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. No 2025–2026 source shows the organization operating under this name, its old website did not respond, and it does not appear on Emory Healthcare’s approved insurance lists for 2025 or 2026. No source found uses the abbreviation PPI, so the identification is a medium-confidence match.

This guide explains what a network of this kind pays for and what it does not, where prior authorization comes from, what the client plan sets in terms of deductibles and coinsurance, how addiction medication is handled, and how to work out which rehab is in-network when the name on the card belongs to a rented network rather than an insurer.

Does Preferred Plan, Inc. (PPI) Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

Preferred Plan did not set benefits, so it neither covered nor excluded rehab. Whether detox, residential care or outpatient treatment is paid for depends on the employer health plan, insurer or workers’ compensation payer that rented the network. The 1998 service list names general medical, vision, chiropractic, mental health, prescription and workers’ compensation, with unbundled services available.

Mental health appeared among the contracted network services, and no separate substance use service line was listed. That distinction matters less than it looks, because visit limits, day limits, exclusions and cost sharing all sat with the client plan. Two cards carrying the same network logo could carry very different addiction benefits.

Read the card from the back. A rented network’s logo sits on the front; the payer or claims administrator name and the claims telephone number sit on the back. That second name is the one that answers questions about rehab benefits, authorization and out-of-network coverage. If the card is old and the number is dead, the employer’s benefits office or the plan document is the next stop.

Which Levels of Care Does the Plan Behind the Card Pay For?

No published level-of-care policy exists for this network, so the ladder below is what a client plan is asked about rather than what Preferred Plan promised. Bring the questions to the claims administrator before an admission date is set, and ask the admissions team to run a benefits check in writing.

Medical Detox

Ask whether withdrawal management is a covered medical benefit, whether it has to happen in a hospital or can be delivered in a freestanding medical detox unit, and whether an emergency admission is treated differently from a planned one. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause seizures, and acute withdrawal belongs in an emergency department whatever the network question.

Residential and Inpatient

Ask whether residential rehab is a separate benefit from inpatient hospital care, whether a day cap applies, and how continued stay is reviewed. The 1998 utilization review menu included length-of-stay determination and concurrent review, so a stay of this kind was reviewed in blocks rather than granted outright.

PHP, IOP and Outpatient

Ask how partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient are classified, since some older plan documents pay them as outpatient visits and others as a facility benefit. Routine outpatient counseling with a network behavioral clinician was the least restricted level, with any visit limit written into the client plan.

Does Preferred Plan, Inc. Need Prior Authorization for Rehab?

The network ran its own utilization review in 1998, which included preadmission hospital review, precertification, concurrent review, length-of-stay determination, discharge planning, retrospective review, second surgical opinions, outpatient predetermination and case management. Whether a rehab admission needs prior authorization, and who issues it, is decided by the client plan that rented the network.

The practical risk with a rented network is a split process: the plan authorizes the benefit, the network reprices the claim, and each side assumes the other has spoken to the admitting program. Ask the claims administrator to name the review unit and give a reference number, and ask the program to send the clinical information to that unit rather than to the network logo on the card.

Criteria were never published. The 1998 listing says the organization was accredited under health utilization management standards but does not name the clinical criteria used for an admission decision. Ask the reviewing plan which criteria set it applies to substance use admissions and request the written denial reason if a stay is refused, because an appeal needs both.

Who Reviews the Admission and the Length of Stay?

Later provider lists place The Preferred Plan under The Chandler Group of Managed Care Companies, alongside DIRECTCare America, Primary Health Services, Superien Health Network and Creative Health Plans, with access routed through Community Care Network. The Chandler Group holds a trademark covering precertification of hospital admissions and second opinions, which suggests review may have moved to that arm, though no document ties it to Preferred Plan specifically.

How Much Does Rehab Cost With Preferred Plan, Inc.?

The network set discounts, not cost sharing. Clients paid a flat fee per employee or a percentage of the savings generated, providers were paid per diem hospital rates or percentage discounts, and the 1998 listing claims customers saved 24%. Deductibles, copays, coinsurance and any out-of-pocket maximum come from the client plan document, and no member figures were published by the network.

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 program bills without coverage. Where a card turns out to belong to a network that no longer trades, the realistic routes are the current plan’s own network, a sliding scale arrangement, a self-pay rate negotiated with the admissions team, or payment assistance where the program offers it.

Workers’ Compensation Treatment

Workers’ compensation was a named line, with 156,000 enrollees in 1998 and workers’ compensation listed among network services. A work injury claim follows the state workers’ compensation rules and the payer’s own authorization route, which is separate from a group health card even where the same network logo appears on both.

Does Preferred Plan, Inc. Cover Suboxone, Methadone and Other Addiction Medication?

No medication policy was published by this network. Prescription was listed among network services in 1998, but formulary placement, tiers and prior authorization for buprenorphine, naltrexone and other addiction medication are set by the client plan or its pharmacy benefit manager, not by the network.

Where the Prescription Is Filled

Medication given during an inpatient or residential stay is usually billed inside the facility claim, while a pharmacy fill after discharge runs through the drug benefit and its own rules. Methadone for opioid use disorder is dispensed through licensed opioid treatment programs rather than retail pharmacies, so it is authorized as a program service and never appears as a pharmacy claim.

What to Ask the Pharmacy Benefit

Ask the pharmacy benefit manager named on the card which formulation of each medication-assisted treatment drug is on the list, whether a prior authorization or step requirement applies, and how long an authorization lasts. Settle that before discharge, because the pharmacy counter is a poor place to discover a gap.

Which Rehab Centers Are In-Network With Preferred Plan, Inc.?

A program is in-network when it holds a contract with the network the member’s plan actually rents, and the 1998 network held direct contracts with its practitioners, specialists and hospitals rather than leasing them in. Network status is settled by the claims administrator named on the card, since no current provider directory for this name was found.

Programs that accept Preferred Plan, Inc. are gathered on the Preferred Plan, Inc. (PPI) page, with wider lists of centers that take private insurance and pages by level of care such as detox centers and outpatient MAT clinics. 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 benefits.

How Do I Find a Rehab That Takes Preferred Plan, Inc.?

Start with the card: note the network logo, then call the claims or payer number on the back and ask which network the plan rents today and which substance use programs are contracted in it. Historically the network was reached through Community Care Network under the Chandler Group. The 1998 telephone number is long out of date and should not be used.

Centers in Missouri and Wisconsin still name Preferred Plan, Inc. on their own websites, sometimes as Healthcare Preferred. Treat that as a billing relationship worth asking about rather than proof of a live benefit, and ask the admissions team which payer it bills when a card carries this name.

Is Preferred Plan, Inc. the Same as Preferred Health Plan or MultiPlan?

No. Preferred Health Plan, Inc. is a Louisville, Kentucky third-party administrator founded in 1983 with the Partnership PPO network, which HealthSmart agreed to acquire on March 13, 2014. Preferred Medical Plan, Inc. is a Florida HMO, and Preferred Health Network of Long Beach, California is listed separately again. A Georgia provider list current as of September 1, 2017 pairs Preferred Plan of GA with MultiPlan, which points to Georgia access running through that network by then, though no merger record was found and a separate Preferred Plan of Georgia trademark belonged to Lincoln National Life Insurance Company until it was cancelled in December 1998.

Before calling a program: have the card in hand, know the payer or claims administrator name on the back, and ask three things – which network the plan uses now, whether substance use treatment needs precertification, and what the deductible and coinsurance are for a facility stay. Those answers decide the cost long before any admission date is discussed.
