Can I bill insurance?

Where permitted by the patient's plan and applicable law, physicians may bill eligible professional, ambulatory withdrawal-management and remote-monitoring services. Coverage, coding and prior-authorization requirements vary by payer and state. Use the state matrix above as a starting point, then confirm with each payer.

Explore Potential Reimbursement — Detox Access Network does not determine coverage or guarantee reimbursement. Providers remain responsible for confirming eligibility, coding and payer requirements.

What patients can be treated at home?

ASAM's alcohol-withdrawal guideline describes ambulatory withdrawal management (Level 1-WM) that may be carried out in a physician's office, by a home health care agency, or by an addiction treatment facility. Daily qualified-provider check-ins for up to several days, with reassessment of vitals, hydration, orientation and withdrawal severity, support safe ambulatory care. Not every patient — or every physician/state arrangement — qualifies.

Patient eligibility must be determined by the treating provider. Higher withdrawal risk, significant comorbidities, or lack of a safe home environment generally warrant a higher level of care.

What staff do I need?

A physician supervises the withdrawal-management plan. Detox-experienced Registered Nurses (RNs) and Nurse Practitioners (NPs) support in-home assessment, medication administration, and CIWA-Ar / withdrawal-severity monitoring. Detox Access Network helps you find licensed, detox-experienced nurses near your patient by state and zip.
