Practical tips for using Medicare
- Write down your Medicare card number and plan details before you call any facility, so staff can check benefits accurately.
- Ask each program whether they accept assignment, meaning they agree to Medicare's approved amount as full payment.
- If you have Medicare Advantage, check the plan's provider directory for in-network behavioral health facilities.
- Inquire about financial assistance or sliding-scale options even if Medicare covers part of the cost, since out-of-pocket expenses can vary.

Confirm in-network status
Even if a facility accepts Medicare, your plan may have in-network providers. Ask the program's billing office if they are in-network with your specific Medicare Advantage plan, if you have one.

Ask about medication coverage
Buprenorphine and other medications for opioid use disorder are covered under Medicare Part D or Part B. Confirm that the program can prescribe and that your plan covers the medication.
