The short answer
How much does PHP or IOP cost with insurance?
With insurance, what you pay for PHP or IOP depends on four things in your plan: the deductible, the copay or coinsurance, the out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the program is in network.
The same rules apply to mental health care and addiction treatment, because the parity law stops plans from limiting behavioral health care more strictly than other medical care.
We cannot quote a price before checking your plan, because two people in the same program can pay very different amounts.
Before you reach your deductible
You usually pay the full allowed cost of covered care until your deductible is met. The allowed cost is the rate your plan has agreed with in-network providers.
After you reach your deductible
You usually pay a copay or a share called coinsurance, and your plan pays the rest. Once you reach your out-of-pocket maximum, covered in-network care is paid in full for the rest of the plan year.
Enhance is in network with most insurance plans, which usually keeps what you pay lower than out-of-network care.
How the level of care affects cost
Levels that take more of your week, such as PHP, usually cost more per week than IOP or standard outpatient treatment, before insurance.

Your plan decides which levels it covers and whether it needs prior authorization first. Admissions asks about both when checking your benefits.
When to consider it
What shapes what you pay
These parts of your plan decide the cost of treatment with insurance.
- The deductible: what you pay for covered care before the plan starts paying.
- The copay: a set amount per day or visit, if your plan uses one.
- Coinsurance: your percentage share of the allowed cost after the deductible.
- The out-of-pocket maximum: the most you pay for covered care in a plan year.
- Network status: in-network care usually costs you less than out-of-network care.
- Prior authorization: approval your plan may need before a level of care starts.
What we won't guess before we check your plan
- A daily rate or a weekly total.
- Your copay or coinsurance.
- Whether your plan will approve care.
If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988.

Common questions about the cost of treatment
If your question is not answered here, call admissions at (714) 862-1907.
How much does PHP cost with insurance?
It depends on your deductible, your copay or coinsurance, and your out-of-pocket maximum. Admissions checks your plan and tells you before you start.
How much does IOP cost with insurance?
IOP takes less of your week than PHP, so it often costs less before insurance. What you pay depends on the same parts of your plan, and admissions checks them first.
Can you give me a price before checking my insurance?
No. Two people in the same program can pay very different amounts, so we check your plan before giving you any figures.
What is an out-of-pocket maximum?
It is the most you pay for covered care in a plan year. Once you reach it, your plan pays covered in-network care in full for the rest of the year.
What is the difference between a copay and coinsurance?
A copay is a set amount per visit or day. Coinsurance is a percentage of the allowed cost that you pay after your deductible.
How does the bill work in practice?
Say you have not met your deductible when PHP starts. You pay the allowed cost until it is met, then your copay or coinsurance, until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum.
Does insurance cover PHP and IOP?
Many plans cover partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care, often with prior authorization. Verification is not a guarantee of coverage.
Is it cheaper to use an in-network program?
Usually, yes. In-network care uses rates your plan has agreed to, and out-of-network care can cost more or leave you billed for the difference.
Does meeting my deductible early in the year help?
Yes. Care you already had this plan year counts toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, which can lower what you pay for treatment.
Does the cost of drug rehab work the same way?
Yes. Drug rehab and other addiction treatment use the same deductible, copay and out-of-pocket rules, and detox or residential care may have their own prior authorization.
Are medications part of the cost?
Prescription drug costs usually run through your plan's pharmacy benefit, with its own copays, separate from the cost of the program.
What if I don't have insurance?
Call admissions anyway. They can talk through your options and help you find a program that fits if Enhance is not the right one.
Have admissions check what you would pay
Call with your insurance card in hand. Admissions will explain your costs before you agree to anything.
