Self-pay addiction treatment in NYC

Private-pay outpatient addiction medicine for patients not using insurance, waiting on coverage, or needing a clear visit path before benefits are confirmed.

Self-pay may be available when insurance is not being used or coverage cannot be confirmed in time. The total can vary by visit type, testing, medication, pharmacy benefit, injections, documentation, and follow-up needs, so pricing should be confirmed before care 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.

Focused care or a more supported outpatient program

Nao Medical operates a New York State OASAS-certified outpatient addiction treatment program. The first visit can focus on the immediate clinical question and medication planning when relevant, or the care plan can include counseling, recovery support, and closer follow-up when that is wanted or clinically recommended.

Focused clinical visits

Patients can request a private evaluation centered on the immediate concern, prescribing or injection planning when applicable, monitoring, and practical next steps. Medication is never automatic; eligibility and safety still require clinician review.

Counseling is available

Patients who want more support can add counseling, relapse-prevention work, care coordination, and recovery follow-up through the outpatient addiction program.

Confidential intake first

After scheduling, complete the confidential addiction intake form when it is sent. It helps the team review current substance use, prior treatment, medications, insurance, and the safest visit type.

Nao Medical accepts Medicaid and many major insurance plans, including Medicare, Healthfirst, MetroPlus, Fidelis, UnitedHealthcare and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, EmblemHealth, Aetna, Cigna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Coverage varies by visit, medication, pharmacy benefit, testing, counseling, and prior authorization. Review addiction-treatment insurance support.
