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