Using UMR Insurance for Addiction and Mental Health Treatment at California Recovery Center
Navigating the path to recovery from addiction or mental health challenges is a courageous step, and having the right insurance support can make that journey easier. If you’re covered under UMR insurance, California Recovery Center is ready to help you access high-quality, personalized treatment services. We simplify the insurance process, allowing you to focus on what matters most: your healing, your growth, and your future.Â
Understanding UMR Insurance
UMR is a third-party administrator (TPA) part of UnitedHealthcare, one of the largest healthcare companies in the United States. UMR doesn’t provide health plans directly but instead administers benefits on behalf of employers and organizations. This gives members flexibility while still accessing large national provider networks and robust behavioral health coverage.Â
UMR members often have access to:Â
- Inpatient and outpatient rehab servicesÂ
- Dual diagnosis treatmentÂ
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)Â
Because UMR policies are tailored by individual employers, coverage details can vary. That’s why our team at CRC offers free insurance verification to help you understand exactly what’s covered under your specific plan.Â
