How to talk to your insurer
- Ask for a verification of benefits: the program calls your plan; get the deductible, coinsurance and day limits in writing.
- Ask whether prior authorization is needed: most plans require it for residential care, and the program usually requests it.
- If the plan says no: you can appeal, and urgent appeals are decided within 72 hours. How appeals work.

Details: Does TennCare pay for rehab
Tennessee has not expanded Medicaid, so TennCare covers adults only in certain groups, such as parents and caretakers, pregnant women, and people who are aged, blind or disabled. For members, TennCare covers addiction treatment, including medication for opioid use disorder, and since October 2025 short residential stays of up to 30 days a year for adults 21 to 64. See rehab centers in Tennessee that accept Medicaid by city and level of care.
Is rehab free in Tennessee?

Details: Is rehab free in Tennessee
The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services contracts with community providers to treat people who have no insurance and no means to pay, from detox and residential care to outpatient treatment and medication for opioid use disorder. See free and low-cost options.
How long does rehab usually last?
It depends on the level of care.
More on how long rehab lasts
Detox usually lasts several days; residential programs commonly run about a month, and some longer; outpatient and intensive outpatient programs run for weeks to months. Your plan may approve the stay in parts, and many people step down from residential to outpatient care.
Who qualifies for inpatient rehab in Tennessee?
Programs decide with an assessment based on the ASAM criteria: withdrawal risk, physical and mental health, readiness, relapse risk and whether home supports recovery.
Details: Who qualifies for inpatient rehab in Tennessee
If outpatient care has not worked or withdrawal is risky, inpatient care is often the start. Try the level-of-care self-check.
