Through secure video consultations, our experienced medical professionals at Bicycle Health provide personalized care, guiding you through every step of your recovery journey.

Self-Pay Options

We understand the importance of affordability in seeking addiction treatment. That's why we gladly accept Medicaid, including AHCCCS, United Healthcare, and Mercy Care, in Pennsylvania. Medicaid coverage ensures that the cost of Suboxone treatment is minimized, making it accessible to individuals who need it the most.

We understand the importance of having access to Suboxone medication. Over the past 24 months, we found that 68.0% of the pharmacies we contacted in Pennsylvania reported having Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) in stock.

Medicaid Options in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania provides Medicaid coverage through its Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance (MA), to ensure access to essential healthcare services for eligible individuals and families.

  • Medical Assistance (MA) Program: Medical Assistance is Pennsylvania's Medicaid program, administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. It offers comprehensive healthcare coverage, including doctor visits, hospital care, prescription medications, preventive care, and more, to low-income individuals and families.
  • Managed Care Organizations (MCOs): Pennsylvania's Medicaid program operates under a managed care delivery system. Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) are contracted to provide healthcare services to Medicaid beneficiaries. These MCOs have networks of healthcare providers, including primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies, ensuring access to necessary medical services.
  • MA Eligibility: Eligibility for Medical Assistance in Pennsylvania is based on income, household size, and other specific criteria. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services oversees the eligibility determination process and provides resources and assistance to help individuals understand their eligibility criteria and apply for Medicaid coverage.
  • HealthChoices Program: Pennsylvania's HealthChoices program is a mandatory managed care program for Medical Assistance recipients. Under the HealthChoices program, individuals receive healthcare services through managed care plans, which coordinate their care and provide access to a network of healthcare providers.

Health Insurance Marketplace Options in Pennsylvania

Residents of Pennsylvania have access to health insurance options through the Health Insurance Marketplace, known as Pennie. It offers a variety of plans to meet the healthcare needs of individuals and families.

  • Qualified Health Plans (QHPs): Pennie provides access to Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) from different insurance carriers. These plans offer comprehensive coverage for essential health benefits, including preventive care, hospitalization, prescription medications, and more. QHPs are categorized into different metal tiers (bronze, silver, gold, and platinum) based on the level of coverage and cost-sharing.
  • Premium Tax Credits and Cost-Sharing Reductions: Financial assistance is available through Pennie to help make health insurance more affordable. Eligible individuals and families may qualify for premium tax credits, which reduce the monthly cost of insurance premiums, and cost-sharing reductions, which lower out-of-pocket expenses like deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.
  • Special Enrollment Periods: Pennie has designated enrollment periods during which individuals can enroll in or switch health insurance plans. Certain life events, such as marriage, birth of a child, loss of other health coverage, or a change in income that affects eligibility, may qualify individuals for a special enrollment period outside of the regular enrollment period.

The Pennie website and customer support services can assist individuals in exploring their options, comparing plans, and enrolling in suitable health insurance coverage, whether through Medical Assistance (Pennsylvania Medicaid) or Qualified Health Plans offered on the Marketplace.

Insurance Requirements for Suboxone Treatment

As of 2008, health insurers and group health plans are required, by law, to offer the same level of benefits mental health and substance use treatment as they do for “physical health” (i.e. medical and surgical care). This legal requirement is thanks to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). As a result, the majority of insurance plans offer some degree of coverage for medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), including buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone). Similar to “physical health” benefits, mental health and substance use treatment benefits often have limitations. Depending on your plan, you may have to adhere to certain requirements set forth by your insurer. 

Common insurance requirements include:

  • Proof of medical necessity
  • Prior authorization
  • Copayments
  • Deductibles
  • Yearly visit limits

It is important to know the requirements of your specific Medicaid plan. To learn more about your insurance requirements, prerequisites, and the scope of your insurance benefits, call the Bicycle Health enrollment team.
