Jacksonville, Fla.-based Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida networked with Retreat Premier Addiction Treatment Centers in Palm Springs, Fla., to provide policyholders access to addiction treatment services.
Retreat Premier began accepting Florida Blue patients for sub-acute detox and intensive inpatient and outpatient services Nov. 1, 2016.
"Very few Florida facilities are in network with insurances, making it difficult for Florida residents to go for treatment in the state of Florida. Most have to leave the state," Ken Kosza, COO of 109-bed Retreat Premier, said in a prepared statement. "Retreat at Palm Beach will now be accessible to the millions of Floridians who have Florida Blue Cross."
