Rehab That Accepts Harvard Pilgrim in Massachusetts
Harvard Pilgrim members ask us one question first: what will this cost? New Wave Recovery Center is out of network with Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and many members still come here through their out-of-network benefits. Before you decide anything, we contact Harvard Pilgrim, read what your plan pays and tell you the number. The person who does that is in recovery. Treatment happens in Salisbury, 10 minutes from the beach.

Is New Wave In-Network With Harvard Pilgrim?
New Wave is out of network with Harvard Pilgrim. We are in-network with WellSense and approved through MassHealth, where the plan we accept is WellSense. Out of network changes what you pay, not whether you can come. The first call is where we work out what it means for you, and our insurance page lists every plan we work with.
What Does Harvard Pilgrim Addiction Treatment Coverage Include?
Harvard Pilgrim rehab coverage depends on the plan you have. Plans with out-of-network benefits can pay a share of our three outpatient levels: day treatment, IOP and the Relapse Prevention Program. Plans without them leave the cost to you, and we tell you that plainly before you start.
Medical detox is not something we run on site. If you need it first, we refer you to a trusted partner, who checks your Harvard Pilgrim coverage for that stay. Then you come to us when you are ready.

Harvard Pilgrim Rehab FAQs
Does Harvard Pilgrim cover rehab at New Wave?
It depends on your plan. New Wave is out of network with Harvard Pilgrim, so coverage here comes from your out-of-network benefits. Some plans have them and others do not. On the first call we contact Harvard Pilgrim and tell you the cost before you decide.
Is New Wave in-network with Harvard Pilgrim?
New Wave is out of network with Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. We are in-network with WellSense and approved through MassHealth, where the plan we accept is WellSense. Harvard Pilgrim members can still come here through out-of-network benefits, and the first call shows what that means for you.
What does out of network mean for my costs?
Out of network means your plan has no contract with New Wave. It may pay a smaller share, ask you to meet a separate deductible, or pay nothing at all. Your plan documents say which, and we read them with you on the call so the cost is clear before you start.
Does Harvard Pilgrim cover IOP and day treatment?
Both are outpatient levels, and plans with out-of-network benefits can pay a share of each. Day treatment, also known as a Partial Hospitalization Program, runs about 6 weeks. IOP runs about 3 months in day or evening tracks, and your benefits check confirms what your plan pays for each one.
Do I need a referral or an approval to use my Harvard Pilgrim plan?
Some plans ask for an approval before certain levels of care start. Some HMO plans pay nothing out of network without one. We handle that with Harvard Pilgrim as part of the benefits check. If an approval is needed, we tell you what it is and how long it usually takes.
Can I use Harvard Pilgrim for alcohol treatment at New Wave?
Alcohol treatment at New Wave follows the same outpatient path as any substance. You move through day treatment, IOP and the Relapse Prevention Program, with holistic care every day. Harvard Pilgrim members use their out-of-network benefits for it. If you need medical detox first, we refer you to a trusted partner.
What if I also qualify for MassHealth?
Call us anyway. Some people with little or no out-of-network coverage qualify for MassHealth, and the MassHealth plan we accept is WellSense. Admissions checks whether you qualify on the call and explains what enrolling involves. Then you can pick the path that costs you least.
What happens when I call New Wave?
You talk to someone in recovery. The call is free and confidential, and it includes the Harvard Pilgrim benefits check. It ends with a clear next step. That is a start date with us, or a referral to a partner if you need detox first.
