Inner Haven Wellness, a leading provider of specialized eating disorder treatment in Wisconsin, has announced a landmark in-network insurance agreement with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, one of the state’s largest health insurance providers. This pivotal partnership is set to dramatically enhance healthcare access for thousands of Wisconsinites, dismantling a critical financial barrier that often delays or prevents individuals from receiving vital care.
The collaboration with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield marks a significant stride in expanding comprehensive insurance coverage for specialized mental health care. With Anthem insuring over 20% of Wisconsin residents, this agreement means a substantial portion of the population can now access Inner Haven’s evidence-based programs without the prohibitive burden of out-of-network costs, fostering a more equitable healthcare landscape.
Clients will benefit immediately from this expanded coverage, which applies to both adolescent (ages 12-17) and adult (ages 18 and older) treatment programs. Inner Haven Wellness offers flexible formats, including Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), ensuring adaptable options that accommodate diverse patient needs and schedules for effective eating disorder treatment.
The Chief Executive and Medical Officer of Inner Haven Wellness emphasized the profound impact of this agreement, stating, “Partnering with Anthem allows us to reach thousands more people in Wisconsin with timely, evidence-based treatment. Insurance barriers frequently delay intervention, and this agreement will undoubtedly help countless families find the support they desperately need for mental health care.”
A Co-Founder and Therapist at Inner Haven Wellness further highlighted the urgency of this initiative: “Access to care, whether financial or geographical, is paramount to saving lives. The more options available, the better. This agreement is going to help a lot of people obtain the essential care they require, reinforcing our commitment to broad healthcare access.”
Beyond this new partnership with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Inner Haven Wellness maintains a robust network of accepted major insurance coverage plans. This includes providers such as Advocate Aurora Health, Carelon, Cigna (Evernorth), Dean Health Plan/Prevea 360, United Healthcare (Optum), and many others, underscoring their dedication to making specialized treatment widely available.
Inner Haven Wellness provides specialized eating disorder treatment across various locations for adolescents and adults, with both in-person and virtual options available throughout Wisconsin. Their programs integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailored to address the unique complexities of eating disorders.
The organization is steadfast in its mission to empower individuals on their journey to lasting recovery by offering compassionate, adaptable, and high-quality treatment options. This new partnership is a testament to their unwavering commitment to enhancing Wisconsin health outcomes and ensuring that more residents can access the critical eating disorder treatment they deserve, fostering a healthier community.
