Matching the level to the specific clinical need is the pre-admission work. ASAM Criteria 4e level-of-care matching requires clinical assessment across six dimensions (withdrawal potential, biomedical conditions, emotional/behavioral/cognitive conditions, readiness, relapse risk, recovery environment).

Insurance and payment

Pre-admission Verification of Benefits (VOB) documentation should include: specific plan product and network status, deductible status at time of admission, coinsurance rate applicable, prior authorization status and turnaround, and out-of-pocket accumulation. Under MHPAEA 2024 disclosure rules, plan-specific medical-necessity criteria must be available on request.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Young adults. Clinical verification of specialty programming should encompass credentialed staff profile, programming-hour documentation, and specialty-specific medical-necessity documentation for third-party authorization. The MHPAEA 2024 rule addresses specialty-program network adequacy for patients requiring specific clinical capabilities.

Before you call
