Nao Medical

MAT program covered by Medicaid in NYC

Medication for addiction treatment review for Medicaid patients, including visit coverage, testing, counseling, pharmacy benefits, and prior authorization questions.

Medicaid coverage can affect the visit, urine drug screening, counseling, medication, pharmacy access, prior authorization, and follow-up. Nao Medical can review plan fit before treatment begins.

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.
