Does Insurance Cover PHP in Virginia?

Yes. PHP is covered by most major insurance plans in Virginia. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), insurers cannot apply more restrictive limits to behavioral health treatment — including PHP — than they apply to medical or surgical conditions of comparable severity.

• Virginia Medicaid: PHP is a covered benefit. Most enrollees pay $0 out of pocket.
• Medicare Part B: Covers PHP for mental health and substance use disorders.
• Aetna, Cigna, Anthem/BCBS, UnitedHealthcare: All major commercial plans cover PHP under MHPAEA.
• Tricare: Military insurance covers PHP for active duty, veterans, and dependents.
• Private Pay: Flexible payment plans available — call our team to discuss.

Insurance Tip

Under MHPAEA, your insurer cannot deny PHP at a different standard than they apply to medical or surgical care. BeBold Recovery's billing team will appeal any improper denial on your behalf

How Long Does PHP Last in Virginia?

Duration depends on your clinical progress, ASAM level-of-care criteria, and insurance authorization. According to NIDA's Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment, treatment lasting fewer than 90 days is of limited effectiveness—which is exactly why BeBold's step-down continuum from PHP to IOP to OP exists.

PHP for Mental Health in Virginia

PHP is not limited to substance use disorders. BeBold Recovery's Dual Diagnosis program integrates psychiatric care directly into PHP, treating both conditions simultaneously. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) notes that people with substance use disorders are twice as likely to have a co-occurring mental health condition — and integrated treatment produces significantly better outcomes than treating each in isolation.

Conditions treated in our Virginia PHP include:

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and persistent depressive disorder
• Generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and panic disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — including combat and military trauma
• Bipolar disorder (Type I and II), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
• Any combination of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders

Frequently Asked Questions — PHP Programs in Virginia

What does PHP stand for in mental health?

PHP stands for Partial Hospitalization Program — a structured, full-day clinical program providing intensive therapy and medical oversight without requiring a hospital stay. It is the most intensive level of outpatient care defined by the ASAM criteria.

How much does PHP cost in Virginia with insurance?

With Medicaid, PHP is typically covered at no cost to the patient. With private insurance, out-of-pocket costs depend on your deductible — most patients pay $0-$50 per day. BeBold Recovery verifies your exact benefits before you commit. Call 757-716-0067.

Can you work while in a PHP program in Virginia?

Traditional PHP schedules run Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., making full-time employment difficult during active PHP. BeBold Recovery offers flexible scheduling and step-down options. Evening IOP is also available.

What is the difference between PHP and IOP in Virginia?

PHP meets 5 days per week for 25-30 clinical hours. IOP meets 3-5 days per week for 9-15 hours. PHP is more intensive and best for patients with severe addiction, dual diagnosis, or those stepping down from inpatient care.

Does BeBold Recovery offer PHP near me in Virginia?

BeBold Recovery's PHP is in Norfolk, Virginia. We serve patients from across the state — Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Newport News, Hampton, Richmond, Arlington, and more — through free transportation. Virtual PHP is available statewide.

What happens after PHP?

After PHP, most patients step down to BeBold Recovery's IOP, then to our standard Outpatient Program. Aftercare planning, sober living coordination, and alumni peer support are included at every stage. Recovery does not end when PHP ends.

How long is a PHP program in Virginia?

PHP programs typically last 2-6 weeks. Most BeBold Recovery patients attend for 4-6 weeks before transitioning to IOP. Your treatment team reviews progress weekly and adjusts the timeline based on your clinical outcomes.
