CASAC substance abuse counseling review in NYC

Support for patients who need substance-use counseling, certified counseling requirements, OASAS-related documentation review, or court and program instructions clarified.

Some patients are told they need a CASAC, certified substance-use counselor, OASAS program, or specific treatment documentation. Bring the written requirement so the care team can confirm what is available, what documentation can be provided, and whether another certified program or level of care is required.

Nao Medical accepts many major insurance plans for addiction medicine and behavioral-health visits, including Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis, UnitedHealthcare, United Healthcare Community Plan, EmblemHealth, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many commercial plans. Coverage can vary by visit type, testing, counseling, medication, pharmacy benefit, and prior authorization requirements, so benefit verification is still important before care begins.

Book an addiction medicine visit

If symptoms are severe, withdrawal feels unsafe, there is overdose risk, or a person may hurt themselves or someone else, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Addiction medicine visits are not a substitute for emergency care.
