When you’re managing work, family and recovery, knowing how your behavioral health benefits work can feel overwhelming. If you’re exploring therapy and counseling with Beacon Insurance coverage, you want clear guidance on what services are covered, how to verify benefits and how to access quality care without breaking your budget. At The Hope House, we help you navigate Beacon Health Options plans so you can focus on your healing journey—whether you need a partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient treatment, medication-assisted therapy or individual counseling.
Understanding your coverage benefits
Beacon Insurance emphasizes continuity of care, covering a full spectrum of treatment levels once you meet your deductible [1]. Your plan may include:
- Inpatient and residential programs
- Partial hospitalization programs (PHP)
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
- Standard outpatient services
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
- Individual, group and family therapy
Coverage details vary by plan, so it’s important to review your specific benefits. In many cases, coinsurance for outpatient care is around 5%, and evidence-based services must be provided in-network and preauthorized. You’ll also find telehealth options for therapy sessions, making it easier to fit appointments into your schedule.
Therapy and counseling with Beacon Insurance coverage
Under most Beacon Health Options plans, psychotherapy services are covered when you see an in-network provider and obtain any required referrals or prior authorizations. Covered modalities include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Psychodynamic therapy
- Family therapy
- Group therapy
- Psychiatric diagnostics and treatment planning
Costs depend on your plan’s deductible and coinsurance structure. For example, in-network sessions may require a copay or coinsurance ranging from $0 to 25% after deductible [2]. To explore options outside of Beacon coverage, you can also see our pages on therapy services accepting Cigna insurance or therapy for addiction accepting Humana insurance.
Exploring outpatient care
Outpatient and step-down programs let you balance recovery with daily responsibilities. Beacon Insurance covers multiple levels of outpatient care, each with its own structure and goals.
Partial hospitalization programs
Partial hospitalization provides intensive support without an overnight stay. Typical features include:
- Five days per week, 4–6 hours of therapy per day
- Combination of individual, group and family sessions
- Medical supervision and psychiatric consultations
- Focus on relapse prevention, life skills and dual diagnosis support
Beacon covers PHP services once your deductible is met, with coinsurance requirements applying per plan [1]. If you have Tricare, check our partial hospitalization accepting Tricare coverage guide for specifics.
Intensive outpatient programs
IOP is ideal when you need structured treatment but also want more flexibility. Key elements:
- Three to five days per week, 3–4 hours per day
- Group therapy, CBT modules and life skills workshops
- Optional individual counseling sessions
- Medication management for co-occurring disorders
Many Beacon plans cover IOP with low coinsurance once you reach your deductible. To see how Beacon IOP fits your needs, review our intensive outpatient covered by beacon insurance page.
Standard outpatient services
Outpatient treatment typically involves weekly or biweekly sessions for therapy and medical check-ins. Services include:
- Individual counseling
- Group therapy
- Medication management visits
- Telehealth options
Coverage depends on in-network provider status and plan benefits. For example, you might pay a set copay or coinsurance per session. To learn more about outpatient alcohol services, see outpatient alcohol rehab accepting beacon insurance.
Medication-assisted treatment options
Medication-assisted therapy can be a cornerstone of recovery, especially for opioid or alcohol use disorders. Beacon Insurance supports FDA-approved medication protocols when provided in-network.
Suboxone outpatient programs
Suboxone (buprenorphine-naloxone) programs combine medication with counseling for opioid dependence. Typical protocol:
- Initial evaluation and medication induction
- Weekly or biweekly medication management appointments
- Mandatory individual or group therapy sessions
- Ongoing monitoring and urine drug screening
Beacon covers Suboxone treatment under MAT benefits, subject to prior authorization. For other insurers, see our suboxone treatment program accepting Cigna or tricare insurance covered suboxone program.
Other MAT options
Beyond Suboxone, Beacon plans may cover:
- Naltrexone for alcohol or opioid use disorders
- Acamprosate for alcohol dependence
- Methadone in specialized clinics
- Vivitrol (extended-release naltrexone)
These treatments require medical monitoring alongside counseling. Verifying in-network availability and credentialing is essential before beginning.
Choosing your therapy services
Finding the right therapeutic approach can accelerate your progress. Beacon Insurance applies coverage to evidence-based therapies, ensuring you get quality care.
Individual therapy
One-on-one counseling helps you address underlying issues, set goals and develop coping strategies. Common approaches:
- CBT to reframe negative thoughts
- Psychodynamic therapy for insight into past patterns
- Motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change
Costs vary by plan, so check benefits or call Beacon member services. If you have Aetna, see individual therapy covered by Aetna insurance.

Group sessions offer peer support and shared learning. Benefits include:

- Education on addiction dynamics
