Common questions

Answered from what is listed here.

Does VNS Health cover rehab?

Yes, on the plans that include medical benefits. SelectHealth, the Medicaid HIV Special Needs Plan, covers alcohol and substance use treatment from inpatient detox through outpatient care. The Medicare plans, EasyCare, EasyCare Plus and Total, cover outpatient substance use services and opioid treatment program services.

VNS Health MLTC is a long term care plan only, so its members get addiction treatment through regular Medicaid or Medicare instead.

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

Does VNS Health cover detox?

Yes, under SelectHealth. Its member handbook includes inpatient detoxification among covered substance use services, alongside inpatient and residential treatment. Admissions need plan approval before treatment except in emergencies, and a decision comes within 24 hours when the request is made at least 24 hours before discharge.

Behavioral health authorization is handled by Carelon Behavioral Health, reachable for SelectHealth members at 1-855-735-6098, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

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

Does VNS Health cover inpatient rehab?

Yes, with prior authorization. On EasyCare in 2026, an inpatient mental health stay costs $300 per day for days 1 through 5 and $0 per day for days 6 through 90. SelectHealth covers inpatient and residential substance use disorder treatment.

Total members pay $0 for in-network inpatient mental health care, while EasyCare's inpatient hospital copay is $400 per day for the first five days.

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

Does VNS Health cover outpatient rehab?

Yes. EasyCare's 2026 benefits include individual and group outpatient substance use sessions and opioid treatment program services, with prior authorization required. Total covers outpatient substance use services, opioid treatment program services and partial hospitalization at $0, and EasyCare Plus charges 0% to 20% depending on Medicaid eligibility.

SelectHealth members can go straight to a network behavioral health provider without a referral from their primary care doctor.

Outpatient Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/programs/outpatient/

Does VNS Health need prior authorization for rehab?

Yes for inpatient care. EasyCare and SelectHealth both require plan approval before an inpatient admission, except in emergencies, and EasyCare also marks outpatient substance use and opioid treatment program services as needing authorization. Outpatient mental health sessions on EasyCare do not.

Requests run through Carelon Behavioral Health. Medicare decisions take up to 72 hours when expedited and up to 14 days for standard review.

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

How much does rehab cost with VNS Health?

$0 on VNS Health Total, which has no premium, no deductible and no in-network copays for inpatient mental health, outpatient substance use, opioid treatment program services or partial hospitalization. EasyCare charges $300 a day for days 1 through 5 of an inpatient mental health stay.

EasyCare's in-network maximum out of pocket is $9,250 in 2026, with a $0 or $25 monthly premium depending on Extra Help.

Medicare Residential Rehabhttps://rehabseekers.com/insurance-accepted/medicare/medicare-residential-rehab/

Does VNS Health cover methadone?

Yes, on the Medicaid and Medicare plans. SelectHealth covers opioid treatment including methadone maintenance as a substance use service, and EasyCare, EasyCare Plus and Total all cover opioid treatment program services, the medical benefit that pays for clinic-based methadone dosing.

MLTC works differently: methadone treatment sits outside that plan and is billed to regular Medicaid instead.

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

Does VNS Health cover Suboxone?

Yes, through the pharmacy benefit rather than the medical benefit. SelectHealth prescriptions have run through NYRx, the New York State Medicaid pharmacy program, since April 1, 2023, and some drugs need prior approval there. The 2026 EasyCare formulary has an anti-addiction and substance use treatment agents section.

Check a specific medication with the Find a Drug tool on the plan site, or call the NYRx prior authorization line at (877) 309-9493.

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

Does VNS Health cover therapy and mental health treatment?

Yes, on every medical plan. EasyCare members pay $0 for Medicare-covered individual and group outpatient mental health sessions in 2026, with no prior authorization. Total charges $0, and EasyCare Plus charges 0% or 20% of the cost depending on level of Medicaid eligibility.

SelectHealth covers clinic and outpatient mental health treatment, individual and group counseling, PROS and ACT, with no referral from a primary care provider.

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

Does VNS Health cover out-of-network rehab?

No, except in emergencies or with plan approval. EasyCare, EasyCare Plus and Total are HMOs, so care from an out-of-network provider is not covered unless the plan authorizes it first. SelectHealth requires the primary care or plan provider to request approval before an out-of-network referral.

SelectHealth standard decisions come within 3 working days of having the information and no more than 14 days. Emergency care needs no approval.

Does VNS Health have a Medicaid plan?

Yes, three of them in New York: SelectHealth from VNS Health, an HIV Special Needs Plan; VNS Health MLTC, a managed long term care plan; and the Medicaid side of VNS Health Total, a Medicaid Advantage Plus plan. There is no mainstream Medicaid managed care plan.

To join an HIV Special Needs Plan, call SelectHealth member services at 1-866-469-7774 or New York Medicaid Choice at 1-800-505-5678.

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

Is VNS Health the same as VNSNY CHOICE?

Yes, that is the former brand name. VNSNY CHOICE Health Plans became Health Plans from VNS Health in 2022: the Medicare and Medicaid plans took the new name on October 1, 2022, and SelectHealth changed in summer 2022. The organization rebranded on May 18, 2022.

The rebrand did not change how the plans operate. Members received new ID cards carrying the VNS Health name, and the phone numbers stayed the same.

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

What states does VNS Health operate in?

New York only. EasyCare covers 20 counties, including New York City, Long Island, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, the Capital Region and the Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo areas. EasyCare Plus and Total cover 13 counties, and VNS Health MLTC covers 55 counties statewide.

SelectHealth serves Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Nassau and Westchester. Staten Island is not part of the SelectHealth provider network.

How do I find a rehab that takes VNS Health?

Search the provider directory for your own plan, since the Medicare, Total and MLTC searches are separate and SelectHealth has its own. For addiction and mental health programs, pick your VNS Health plan on Carelon Behavioral Health's member site, then call the program about network status.

The Care Team answers at 1-866-783-1444 for EasyCare, EasyCare Plus and Total, and can mail a printed directory on request.

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

Does VNS Health cover telehealth for addiction treatment?

Yes, telehealth is a covered benefit on EasyCare, EasyCare Plus and Total, with EasyCare telehealth copays running from $0 to $200 depending on the service. EasyCare's covered outpatient substance use sessions and opioid treatment program services include telehealth delivery.

Members can search for telehealth behavioral health providers by selecting their VNS Health plan on the Carelon Behavioral Health member site.

VNS Health is a New York not-for-profit home and community health care organization, formerly the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, whose health plans arm runs Medicare Advantage, dual-eligible, Medicaid managed long term care and HIV Special Needs plans inside New York State and nowhere else. For addiction treatment that means the plan named on the card, rather than the VNS Health name itself, settles what is paid for.

VNS Health also sits on the other side of the table. Its behavioral health division runs crisis response, mental health programs for children and adults, and an integrated mental health and substance use clinic, and that arm is separate from the insurance plans. On the plan side, behavioral health benefits, utilization management, the behavioral health network, claims and appeals are delegated to Carelon Behavioral Health, so the number that settles a rehab authorization is frequently not the one printed on the front of the card.

The guide below covers which of the five plans pay for which levels of care, where prior authorization applies and who issues it, what each plan charges in 2026, how medication for opioid use disorder is handled under the Medicare drug benefit and NYRx, and how to find a program in New York that holds a contract with the plan.

Does VNS Health Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

On four of the five plans, yes. SelectHealth from VNS Health covers alcohol and substance use treatment including inpatient detoxification, inpatient and residential care, outpatient treatment and methadone maintenance. EasyCare, EasyCare Plus and Total cover outpatient substance use services and opioid treatment program services. VNS Health MLTC is a long term care plan and covers none of it.

The MLTC handbook is explicit about the gap. Methadone treatment, inpatient hospital stays, physician visits, most prescription drugs and mental health programs such as intensive psychiatric rehabilitation, day treatment, partial hospital care, Assertive Community Treatment and personalized recovery services are listed as not covered by that plan, and run instead through regular New York Medicaid or Medicare. SelectHealth is one of three HIV Special Needs Plans listed by the New York State Department of Health, alongside Amida Care and MetroPlus Health Plan Partnership in Care.

Which VNS Health plan is it? EasyCare (HMO) is Medicare Advantage with drug coverage across 20 counties. EasyCare Plus and Total are HMO dual special needs plans across 13 counties, Total combining Medicare with Medicaid managed long term care. MLTC runs in 55 counties. SelectHealth is the Medicaid HIV Special Needs Plan for Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Nassau and Westchester.

What Does Each Plan Pay For at Each Level of Care?

The Medicaid plan and the Medicare plans describe their addiction benefits differently, and the level of care named in the plan document is what the authorization will be written against. Where a level is not named at all, the Care Team is the place to settle it before an admission date is agreed.

Medical Detox

The SelectHealth member handbook lists inpatient detoxification among covered substance use services. Every inpatient admission needs plan approval first, emergencies excepted, and for inpatient substance use treatment the plan decides within 24 hours where the request reaches it at least 24 hours before discharge. On the Medicare plans, hospital-based medical detox falls under the inpatient hospital benefit, which carries prior authorization except in an emergency.

Residential and Inpatient

SelectHealth lists both inpatient and residential substance use treatment. EasyCare’s 2026 Summary of Benefits covers inpatient mental health at $300 per day for days 1 to 5 and $0 per day for days 6 to 90 in each benefit period, with 90 days plus 60 lifetime reserve days and prior authorization. Total covers inpatient mental health at $0. Residential care is not named in the Medicare summaries read for this guide, so ask the Care Team how a residential request would be reviewed.

PHP, IOP and Outpatient

Total covers partial hospitalization, outpatient substance use services and opioid treatment program services at $0. EasyCare lists individual and group outpatient sessions and opioid treatment program services, telehealth included, with prior authorization. SelectHealth adds continuing day treatment, crisis intervention, harm reduction services and behavioral health home and community based services such as psychosocial rehabilitation, peer support and employment help. Intensive outpatient is not named as a separate row, so confirm how it is authorized.

Does VNS Health Need Prior Authorization for Rehab?

Yes for inpatient care on every plan that covers it, and on EasyCare for outpatient substance use and opioid treatment program services as well. EasyCare’s 2026 summary marks inpatient hospital and inpatient mental health stays as needing authorization, while outpatient mental health sessions do not. SelectHealth requires plan approval before any inpatient admission, emergencies excepted.

Carelon Behavioral Health runs that review. The authorization line for health professionals is 1-866-783-0222, Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm, with utilization management faxes of 866-791-2214 for the Medicare plans and Total, 646-459-7731 for SelectHealth and 212-897-9448 for MLTC; Carelon’s outpatient review fax is 1-800-441-2281. On the Medicare plans an expedited request is decided within 72 hours and a standard request within 14 days.

Neither VNS Health nor Carelon names the medical necessity tool it applies to substance use levels of care in the documents available. State guidance for New York Medicaid managed care plans says a completed LOCADTR, the OASAS level of care instrument, may be required as notification for medically supervised outpatient withdrawal and OASAS outpatient rehabilitation admissions, so ask the admissions team which assessment it will submit and in what form.

Does VNS Health Cover Out-of-Network Rehab?

Generally no. EasyCare, EasyCare Plus and Total are HMOs, and care from a provider outside the network is not paid for unless the plan authorizes it or the situation is an emergency or urgent one. SelectHealth requires the primary care provider or a plan provider to request approval before an out-of-network referral, with standard decisions made within three working days of the plan having the information and no more than 14 days.

Treatment outside New York. These networks are New York networks, so an out-of-state residential admission is an out-of-network request and has to be authorized before the date. MLTC covers out-of-network services with prior authorization where medically necessary care is not available in network, and new members can continue existing long term care services for 90 days.

How Much Does Rehab Cost With VNS Health?

On Total, nothing in network: the 2026 plan carries a $0 premium, a $0 deductible and $0 in-network copays, including inpatient mental health, outpatient mental health, outpatient substance use services, opioid treatment program services and partial hospitalization. SelectHealth is marketed as no-cost coverage for eligible Medicaid recipients.

EasyCare in 2026 carries a $0 or $25 monthly premium depending on Extra Help, a $0 or $500 prescription drug deductible and a $9,250 in-network maximum out of pocket, with $400 per day for inpatient hospital days 1 to 5, $300 per day for inpatient mental health days 1 to 5, $0 primary care, $35 specialist, $115 emergency room and telehealth from $0 to $200. EasyCare Plus carries a $0 or $51.60 premium, a $0 or $615 drug deductible, the same $9,250 cap, outpatient mental and behavioral health at 0% or 20% of cost, and outpatient substance use and opioid treatment program services at 0% to 20%, depending on the level of Medicaid eligibility.

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 where no coverage applies. The EasyCare cost share for outpatient substance use services is not set out clearly in the published summary, so call the Care Team on 1-866-783-1444 and ask for the figure in writing before the first session.

Does VNS Health Cover Suboxone, Methadone and Other Addiction Medication?

Methadone, yes, on the plans that cover addiction treatment. The SelectHealth handbook lists opioid treatment including methadone maintenance, and EasyCare, EasyCare Plus and Total all list opioid treatment program services as a medical benefit. MLTC members receive methadone treatment through regular Medicaid rather than through the plan.

Where the Prescription Is Filled

Since April 1, 2023 SelectHealth prescriptions are covered by NYRx, the New York State Medicaid Pharmacy Program, not by the plan, and participating pharmacies are listed at the state’s member site. Some drugs need prior approval, and the NYRx prescriber line is (877) 309-9493, open 24 hours, with a fax of (800) 268-2990. The Medicare plans use MedImpact Healthcare Systems as pharmacy benefit manager on 1-800-788-2949.

What the Formulary Does and Does Not Say

The 2026 EasyCare formulary runs six tiers and carries an anti-addiction treatment agents section, with methadone oral tablets at Tier 2 subject to quantity limits; that entry is the pharmacy listing, while dosing inside an opioid treatment program is billed as a program service. Tier placement for buprenorphine-naloxone, naltrexone and long-acting injectable naltrexone is not readable in the published file, so check the plan’s Find a Drug tool or ask the Care Team before discharge. SelectHealth members can also get smoking cessation medication, supplies and counseling without a referral.

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

A program is in-network when it holds a contract for the specific VNS Health product named on the card, EasyCare, EasyCare Plus, Total or SelectHealth, and holds the New York State OASAS certification for the level of care it delivers. Network status is settled on the plan’s provider search or on Carelon’s member site, never by the plan name alone.

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 VNS Health are gathered on the VNS Health page, with related pages for Medicaid rehab and Medicare rehab. 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 VNS Health?

Start with the plan’s own search. The Find a Doctor page splits into a Medicare provider and pharmacy search for EasyCare and EasyCare Plus, a separate search for Total and an MLTC search, while SelectHealth runs its own search and 2026 county directories for Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Nassau and Westchester. Printed directories can be requested from the Care Team.

For addiction and mental health care specifically, Carelon’s member site lists VNS Health Medicare, VNS Health Total and SelectHealth from VNS Health in its plan picker, and searches both in-person and telehealth providers. By phone: Medicare plans 1-866-783-1444, MLTC 1-888-867-6555, SelectHealth 1-866-469-7774, all TTY 711, with SelectHealth’s 24/7 behavioral health crisis line run by Carelon on 1-855-735-6098. SelectHealth names Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, Montefiore and Northwell Health in its network, and its provider network does not cover Staten Island.

Is VNS Health the Same as VNSNY CHOICE or Visiting Nurse Service of New York?

Yes to both. Visiting Nurse Service of New York rebranded as VNS Health on May 18, 2022, and VNSNY CHOICE Health Plans became Health Plans from VNS Health, SelectHealth taking the new name in summer 2022 and the Medicare and Medicaid plans on October 1, 2022. The plans themselves did not change, phone numbers stayed the same and new ID cards were issued. SelectHealth from VNS Health has no connection to the Utah or South Carolina plans of similar name.

Before calling a program: have the exact plan name from the card, ask whether the program holds a contract for that product and OASAS certification for the level of care, and ask who files the authorization with Carelon and when the decision is expected. Those three answers settle the cost before dates are discussed.
