Can a program handle a court referral?
The order decides what gets reported. The clinical plan is decided the way it is for anybody else. Drug court programs often have their own approved list and their own funding attached. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.
Will my plan pay for rehab?
Medicaid and most commercial plans include treatment, with different rules about what they approve. A center's billing office can often check a plan faster than the insurer's own line will. Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.
