Same-day Suboxone access in NYC

Same-day addiction treatment can mean fast evaluation, realistic timing review, and a safer next step without promising medication starts that are not clinically appropriate.

Same-day access can mean same-day evaluation, same-day treatment planning, or same-day medication start when it is clinically appropriate and scheduling allows. It does not mean every patient should be started on medication without a timing and safety review.

Many major insurance plans are accepted for addiction medicine 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. Self-pay visits are also available. Coverage for the visit, urine drug screening, and medication copays varies by plan, so benefit verification still matters.
