UMR Insurance for Drug Detox

UMR is a United HealthCare company and the largest third-party administrator (TPA) in the U.S. UMR works closely with clients who have self-funded employee benefits plans to ensure that they receive flexible benefits that meet their needs.

If you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and you have UMR insurance coverage, your cost for drug and alcohol detox may be partially or entirely covered by your health insurance benefits. UMR may also ensure that you have partial or full coverage for additional addiction treatment services like rehab, IOP, or aftercare.

If you’re suffering from addiction, we’re here to help you verify your UMR insurance coverage and get the treatment you need to fully recover. Insurance coverage can be confusing, but you don’t have to let that keep you from an addiction-free life.

Although the best way to get updated information about your insurance benefits is by calling UMR and speaking with them directly, here we provide helpful answers to some of the most common questions about using UMR insurance coverage for drug and alcohol detox.

If you’re ready to verify your insurance and determine your benefits and coverage for addiction treatment at Briarwood Detox Center, please call our admissions team at (888) 857-0557 or fill out the insurance verification form on this page and we will contact you shortly.
