Wellbridge Addiction Treatment and Research Center announced today that it is now an in-network provider with Cigna for inpatient stabilization, inpatient rehabilitation, and residential extended stay. This is Wellbridge’s first in-network insurance partnership.
The purpose-built, 96-acre campus facility opened Monday, May 18, 2020 in Calverton, Long Island, approximately 75 miles from New York City. In partnership with Northwell Health and NY-based real estate firm, Engel Burman, Wellbridge sets a new standard of addiction treatment that encompasses groundbreaking clinical care, an integrated addiction learning lab, and a community education program.
“We are excited to be partnering with Cigna,” says Andrew Drazan, Wellbridge Co-founder and CEO. “As the public health crisis of addiction is exacerbated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we feel this partnership could not come at a more critical time. Now, more than ever, we need to be able to provide those suffering from substance use disorders a holistic approach to care and a path to sustained recovery.”
“To us, Cigna Insurance has always represented the highest standards of clinical care, subscriber resources and customer service, along with a trusted network of empowered health care providers,” says Elizabeth Moore, Wellbridge Executive Director. “Further, their commitment to health, education and wellness, including substance use disorders, closely parallels our own mission and goals.”
For those not covered by Cigna, Wellbridge helps to complete any claim forms and submit to insurance providers on a patient’s behalf.
