Nao Medical

Substance abuse evaluation in NYC and Long Island

Clinical review for alcohol, drug, medication, opioid, cannabis, stimulant, and mixed-substance concerns, with treatment recommendations and follow-up planning.

A substance abuse evaluation reviews current use, health history, withdrawal risk, overdose risk, mental-health symptoms, medications, testing needs, documentation requirements, and the safest next step.

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.
