Treatment Centers in Jacksonville, FL That Accept AmeriHealth

Yes. The 2026 AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care Florida plan lists opioid treatment program services, covering substance use counseling, individual and group therapy and toxicology testing, at $0. Outpatient individual and group therapy is also $0, and inpatient hospital care is $0 with prior authorization.

The plan carries a $0 premium and no medical deductible, with a maximum out-of-pocket of $9,250 that can be $0 depending on your Medicaid level.

Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade. The 2026 AmeriHealth Caritas VIP Care Florida plan, contract H6378-001, operates in those three South Florida counties under a Medicare contract paired with a Florida Medicaid contract. Duval County and the rest of northeast Florida are not in the service area.

Jacksonville residents holding Medicare and Medicaid would need a dual-eligible plan contracted for their own county.

No. For plan year 2026, AmeriHealth Caritas Next in Florida covers South Florida plus Lake, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties, which centers on the Orlando area. Duval County, where Jacksonville sits, is not in that marketplace footprint.

The company added Cleveland Clinic Florida to the Next and VIP Care networks on January 1, 2026, in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties.

Yes. On AmeriHealth's commercial side, inpatient services and residential treatment are covered behavioral health levels of care that need prior authorization, reviewed against InterQual and American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria. Named in-network partners Crossroads and Forge Health provide outpatient withdrawal management.

On one 2026 individual plan, the IHC Silver EPO HSA Local Value, an inpatient stay costs $500 per day with a maximum of five copayments per admission.

Yes. Inpatient services, residential treatment, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient all require prior authorization on AmeriHealth's commercial plans. Since April 1, 2023 the insurer reviews these requests in-house using InterQual and ASAM criteria, replacing the vendor criteria used before.

The behavioral health authorization line is 1-800-688-1911. A treatment program usually submits the request on your behalf before admission.

Yes. Intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization are both named behavioral health levels of care, and both require prior authorization. Ethos is a named in-network provider offering intensive outpatient, therapy and medication management for ages 13 and up.

Day programs sit between residential care and weekly counseling, so approval usually turns on the level of support clinical criteria say you need.

Yes. On the 2026 AmeriHealth Individual and Family formulary, generic buprenorphine-naloxone tablets and film sit on the Generic tier with a quantity limit and no prior authorization listed. AmeriHealth New Jersey removed prior authorization from all buprenorphine/naloxone products back on May 1, 2017.

Brand Suboxone is not on that drug list, so a prescriber would typically write for the generic.

No, not on the 2026 individual EPO plans. Out-of-network mental health and substance use services, outpatient and inpatient, are not covered on those plans, with emergency care the exception and paid at the in-network level. No referral is needed to see an in-network specialist.

Older group PPO and POS Plus summaries paid out-of-network behavioral health at 80% or 60% after the deductible with member precertification, so employer plans can differ.

Expect roughly $50 to $75 per office visit on 2026 individual plans. The IHC Gold EPO Regional Preferred charges $50 per outpatient mental health or substance use visit with no deductible, while the IHC Silver EPO HSA Local Value charges $75, with 30% coinsurance for other outpatient services.

Neither 2026 summary states a visit limit for outpatient mental health or substance use care.

Yes. The 2026 individual plan summaries state telemedicine is a covered benefit for outpatient mental health and substance use services, and virtual programs are in network: Pelago for alcohol and opioid treatment including medication, Ophelia for opioid use disorder and Ria Health for alcohol treatment.

Connect to Care, a subset of in-network behavioral health providers offering faster access, lists both in-person and virtual options.

Start by calling the number on the back of your member card to confirm which AmeriHealth company issued your plan, since the commercial insurer, AmeriHealth Caritas and AmeriHealth Administrators each use different provider finders. Caritas members choose their plan first at the plan finder, then search that plan's network.

AmeriHealth's Behavioral Health Care Navigation team matches members with in-network providers and can schedule an appointment within one to two days.
