Insurance verification helps you understand what your plan will cover before you begin treatment. At Destination Hope in Fort Lauderdale, the admissions team verifies benefits quickly, explains expected costs, and answers questions so you can move forward with clarity. If you are weighing options for yourself or a loved one, use this overview to understand how verification works and what to expect.
What Insurance Verification Means
Verification is a conversation between our admissions team and your insurance company. We confirm plan details, including whether Destination Hope is in network, what levels of care are covered, and what costs you may owe. This step comes before admission whenever possible so financial questions do not delay care. Start with our insurance verification page.
Information To Have Ready
You can speed things up by having your member ID, date of birth, plan name, and the subscriber’s information if you are not the policyholder. If you have questions about deductibles or previous authorizations, note those as well. Our team will walk you through anything you do not know.
What We Check With Your Plan
During verification, we review whether we are in network for your policy, the deductible and how much you have met, your copay or coinsurance, and any out-of-pocket maximums. We also ask about prior authorization and medical necessity requirements for each level of care. When we are out of network for a plan, we explain options and potential costs before you decide. See our overview on treatment costs and coverage.
How Coverage Connects to Level of Care
Coverage varies by service. For many plans, residential treatment and Partial Hospitalization Program services may require prior authorization and periodic reviews. Because Destination Hope offers both on its Fort Lauderdale campus, our clinicians can recommend the right starting point and help adjust the plan if your needs change. Learn more about residential treatment and our Partial Hospitalization Program.
After Verification: What You Receive
We provide a summary that outlines estimated out-of-pocket costs and next steps. If your plan requires an authorization, we coordinate that process and keep you updated. You will also receive information about what to bring, arrival timing, and how family members can stay involved. Read about the process on our admissions page, or reach out through our contact page with questions.
