Out of Network

Out-of-network doesn't mean no - we may still be able to help.

If your insurance is out of network, MVBH can still often help - through out-of-network benefits, single-case agreements, or a self-pay arrangement. Out-of-network typically means you pay more upfront and submit claims for reimbursement. We'll walk you through your specific plan's out-of-network behavioral health benefits before you start.

Out-of-network benefits

Many plans offer out-of-network behavioral health benefits that reimburse part of your treatment. We'll help you check yours.

Single-case agreements

When in-network isn't an option but our care is clinically right, your insurer may authorize a single-case agreement.

Self-pay

Clear, up-front pricing if you prefer to pay directly. We'll discuss options during verification.

Superbills

If you're self-paying, we can provide a superbill you submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement.

Pre-treatment clarity

You'll know your expected costs before starting - no surprise bills mid-treatment.

What out-of-network really costs you

Out-of-network usually means higher up-front costs and you file the claims. But 'out-of-network' is not 'no' - your plan may still reimburse a meaningful share, and single-case agreements can open the door when care is clinically appropriate.

The only way to know your real out-of-pocket is to check your specific plan. We help with that - then you decide. Call 978-233-9597 and we'll walk through it.

Treatment terminology notice: At Merrimack Valley Behavioral Health, our day-based programs are referred to as Full Day Treatment and Half Day Treatment. In Massachusetts, insurance providers commonly refer to these levels of care as PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) and IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program). Any reference to PHP or IOP on this site refers to our Full Day Treatment or Half Day Treatment programs.
Detox scope: MVBH does not provide detox onsite. If detox may be needed before outpatient treatment, call our team. We can help identify an appropriate outside detox provider, but cannot guarantee placement, acceptance, transportation, medical clearance, or suitability.
If you are in crisis or having thoughts of suicide: call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911. MVBH is not an emergency service.
