First Medical Health Plan is a health insurance company that covers people in Puerto Rico. They’ve been in operation since 1977. If you live in Puerto Rico, you may have an employer sponsored health plan through them.
If you’re a government employee, you may also get your health benefits through them. You can also sign up for their plans as an individual. In recent years, they’ve become one of four government health plan providers for the territory. The government health plan is also known as Plan Vital and includes Medicaid.
Does First Medical Health Plan Cover Addiction Treatment?
Many First Medical plans cover mental health and substance use treatment. They may cover services like inpatient and partial hospitalization as well as standard outpatient treatment.
Notably, some of their private plans limit you to one detox episode per year for a maximum length of 45 days. You’ll need to check the details on your specific plan before you commit to treatment.
Their provider network has several hospitals that may be able to give you inpatient drug treatment. Keep in mind you might need to get prior authorization before going. If your primary care provider refers you, they may be able to get the prior authorization for you. You may also be able to get it from the emergency room.

Ms Karen from the Cherry Hill, NJ locations was just awesome. She called me every week to give me updates concerning my husband. She has been so helpful to keep me grounded and encouraged that I’m sure she did the same for her clients. I have to say she was the best, thank you Miss Karen for all you do and may God continue blessing you always..

This program really opened my eyes after years of in and out of rehabs and jail. It showed me a new way to go about this. A true AA/NA based recovery program, it has a very spiritual experience included.

My experience with All in Solution was life changing. I went through detox and residential to prepare me for on going therapy. I had great nurses techs and patient support through tough days and such support for the family atmosphere I experienced. I am grateful for everyone that helped me there and would recommend to anyone that wants to get sober and learn how to stay sober through their program

The Indiana Center for Recovery in Bloomington, Indiana literally saved my life. A lot of people say treatment for drug abuse saved their life but when I walked into the treatment center on Dec 2, 2025 my blood pressure was at stroke levels and I had no idea. I had literally been walking around with hyper tension for several years and combined with my drug abuse I made bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. I thought I was going in to detox or to reset myself but I realized after a couple weeks that it was a life changing event. The nursing staff got me on high blood pressure meds to stabilize my health and the therapists and facilitators got me into recovery. By practicing meditation, yoga, therapy, group sharing, exercising and eating right I have regained not only my health but my crystal clear clarity. I am now in recovery for three weeks and have about another week to go in the program. Colin Troy and his staff was instrumental in getting me into the program and my therapist Meghan Miller has helped me tremendously along with all the staff at the recovery center and even with a week left I feel like I have a new lease on life. I used to say that I was built for this, in regards, to my drug abuse, but now I have flipped that saying into I am built for recovery. And it's all down to the Indiana Center for Recovery and their amazing staff and program. Highly recommend for those that are serious about their recovery. Wonderful compound, living conditions, with an amazing gym and recreation center. Staff is accommodating, thoughtful, and professional. Plus they use holistic practices like mediation, yoga, art and music therapy, and acupuncture to go along with the traditional therapy and twelve step program education, with the added addition of a Recovery Dharma leaning. After being here I can see why they are now rated number 1 nationally for treatment and recovery centers.

The Haven was great. I was there around 2 years ago so it’s been awhile but great community vibes. The people actually care. They have good treatments meaning my withdrawls were minimal.. overall a great experience. Looking for a new rehab now and wishing I could just come back to the haven but it’s so far away

When I was at my lowest, the haven was there to pick me back up. The facility is clean and well kept, the rooms are spacious and pristine, the food is amazing, the nurses and group facilitators are attentive and well knowledged. Shout outs to all the staff and nurses for helping me realize my life was messy and I had the support and tools to turn it around. Luke, Ashley, Lauren, Sally, Dr.B, Pastor C, Dr Pepper(😉jk), and any or all staff I forgot to mention because im so fried. THANK YOU HAVEN for helping me get my life back on track

I honestly can’t thank this place enough, it honestly saved my life. When I came to the haven I had literally gave up on life. I had overdosed when I got here and they got me to the hospital fast enough to save my life. The next 3 days were pure hell. The staff truly does care. Roni is amazing(has great style to) always had a smile on her face. Anthony and Shawn were my go to if I needed something done, they always made it happen. Ashley and Lauren were great always running around like crazy getting things done for people. Most of the BHT were cool. The night BHT’s were more down to earth. Shaggy is definitely one of my favorites when I wanted to give up he told me to keep pushing. I could keep ranting on and on about how good the place is but we would be here for hours. Thank you to the Haven for giving me my life back!

Transitions Recovery Program in Miami didn’t just help me get sober it gave me a life beyond my wildest dreams. I walked in lost, broken, and unsure if real change was even possible. What I found was a deeply compassionate and structured environment that not only supported my recovery, but challenged me to grow in ways I never thought I could.
The staff is incredible many of them are in recovery themselves, so they get it. They met me where I was without judgment, but also didn’t let me stay stuck in old patterns. The clinical team, the group sessions, the one-on-one therapy, and even the everyday accountability they all played a part in reshaping how I saw myself and the world around me.
What really sets Transitions apart is that they don’t just focus on staying sober they teach you how to build a meaningful, fulfilling life in recovery. They helped me reconnect with who I really am, helped me process trauma, build healthier relationships, and most importantly, believe in myself again.
I’ll never be able to fully put into words how grateful I am for this place. Transitions helped me reclaim my life and then some. If you’re struggling, if you’re feeling hopeless, please know that change is possible. This program showed me that.

Transitions literally saved my life. It’s like no other rehab I’ve ever been at before, I’ve been to over 20 different rehabs and this one will definitely be my last lol. The staff here treat you like family and really care about you here. The outings were always so much fun, the groups were great, and I love how it’s a reality based program. 10/10 if you are thinking about coming here do it. Shout out Abe, Will, Shiffra, Josh, and Austin 🐐🐐🐐
This place is ok. You have to realize this is Florida, so you are going to get cockroaches. Just ask staff for a fogger they are happy to get you one. I have had no problems with staff. Long days keeping you busy. Van rides get tiring. We do outings Everglades on a airboat was amazing all the Alligators was just coll. The best thing about this place is the LIV Program. Troy Adam Ericka, Daniel. Are the best we do all sorts of outings will miss them as going home soon. 🩷🐊

The experience with Never Alone was a breath of fresh air. My 16 year old son completed his journey 11/19 and came home with a whole new perspective on life and his future. His clinical technician Karissa was a wonderful aide in the process dealing with my son. The family sessions were a great opportunity for me, my son and his mom to work on communicating with one another which was hard to accomplish before our sessions but Karissa helped navigate that and allowed us to grow through our sessions. The weekly parent groups were a very helpful resource and tool as well. I appreciate all the support and encouragement the staff at Never Alone gave to my son and salute them for taking their time to guide my son through his journey.

My daughter spent over 2 months at Never Alone on her recovery journey. We can't say enough great things about the staff and the facility. The staff communicated well and provide support for the entire family. They have been the biggest step and help in her recovery, they provided her with tools she can use in her daily life to stay on tack to help cope with hard things that happen in life. She says now that this was the best thing that could have been provided to her while in addiction.

Never Alone brought back the child that was lost in drugs and addiction. We can't say enough about the staff and the facility. They loved and cared for her so well provide her with all the things she needed in her recover and helped her find herself again and provided her with the knowledge she needed to start her recovery. The staff cares about their jobs, care for the kids their wellbeing and their success in recovery and it shows in their dedication and interaction with the kids. Never Alone has provided her a new opportunity at life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does First Medical Health Plan Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
First Medical plans generally cover all the medications that are used to treat opioid addiction and alcohol misuse, including methadone and suboxone. If MAT is the right treatment for you, you’ll have to get your daily medication dose at a clinic while participating in evidence based treatment there.
The FDA approved medication used in MAT helps manage cravings so that you can avoid relapses and even overdose during treatment. This allows you to focus on recovery and lay a solid foundation for your future. Over time you’ll taper off the medication support so you can live fully substance free.
Make sure to review your specific plan to find out the coverage details before you start treatment.
What Are First Medical Health Plans?
Some of First Medical’s plans are PPO plans. PPO stands for preferred provider organization. In this type of plan, you get the best coverage if you stay in their provider network, but you do have the freedom to see a provider who is outside their network. Your individual plan will specify what they will cover if you go out of network.
Their Plan Vital offering functions like a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). They require you to stay within their network. You can check online to see if a provider is in their network. You also have to get a referral from your primary care provider for specialist care, but not for your mental health providers.
As long as your mental health providers are part of their network, you can see them without a referral.
First Medical plans are available for government employees, individuals, and families. Private companies can also get insurance plans to offer their employees.
Where Does First Medical Health Plan Operate?
First Health’s network has providers you can see throughout the island of Puerto Rico. This is true of First Health’s private plans as well as their government sponsored plans through Plan Vital.
In the past, if you had a Plan Vital plan you would have to stay within a region of the island. This is no longer true. Regions were eliminated in 2021 when Plan Vital started allowing you to pick a company to manage your benefits.
With First Medical plans, you’re free to get your care in any part of Puerto Rico where you can find a provider from their network.
What Inpatient Rehab Does First Medical Health Plan Cover?
Before going to inpatient treatment you’ll first need a clinician to assess that it’s the right level of treatment for you. First Medical will use the information from that assessment to make a determination about coverage.
If your provider determines that you need medically supervised inpatient detox you can expect to be at a facility between three and ten days. With inpatient detox trained professionals monitor how you’re doing with withdrawal. They will work to prevent and treat symptoms as they occur which may include medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Once you’re through detox your provider may want you to go to inpatient or residential rehab. While there you can expect to participate in a structured program where you learn relapse prevention skills. Residential rehab usually lasts 30 to 90 days.
What Outpatient Addiction Treatment Does First Medical Health Plan Cover?
First Medical covers a few different types of outpatient treatments that might be right for you. You might step down to outpatient treatment from residential rehab but it’s also possible to go straight into one of these outpatient treatment types. Doing so would depend on how stable your medical situation is and your home environment among other factors.
Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) usually expect you to be there the full day up to five days a week. The programming is a lot like residential rehab where you’re in groups most of the day learning and practicing skills that help you with recovery. The difference is you go home at the end of the day and usually on the weekend too.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are usually held for a few half days each week. The programming is otherwise similar to partial hospitalization. This option is a good one if you have time commitments like work or caregiving that you need to have time during the week to attend to.
General outpatient care meets around once a week and provides ongoing support as you practice your new habits and solidify your recovery.
Does First Medical Health Plan Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
When providers use medication to treat your addiction, that’s sometimes called medication assisted therapy, or MAT. There are a few different ways to treat you with MAT.
One type of MAT uses medications to help you withdraw from the drug you’re addicted to safely and as comfortably as possible. This strategy is common in residential detox settings.
If you’re addicted to opioids or alcohol MAT may be used as a maintenance therapy to help you stay stable during treatment. Depending on the maintenance drug that’s most appropriate for you, this strategy will allow you to minimize or skip withdrawal. The medications that addiction specialists prescribe for opioid maintenance are methadone and Suboxone.
First Medical has methadone clinics and Suboxone providers included in their network listings. They may cover that treatment for you if it’s the right treatment for your addiction.
Does Addiction Treatment Need to Be In Network?
Whether you have to stay within First Medical’s provider network to get treatment depends on the specifics of your plan. While some plans may allow you to go out of network you will have to pay more if you use that option. Before going out of network consider taking note of how your copay and deductible and out of pocket maximum might change if you do.
How to Verify Coverage With First Medical Health Plan
First Medical gives you a few ways to verify coverage of a specific provider or facility. You can pick up the phone and call First Medical’s customer service line or you can log in to your account online and check that way. This will give you details about your plan and provider network.
You can also call the treatment center you’re interested in seeing and ask them to check if they take your insurance. With any of these options use your exact plan name and not just the name of the company to check your coverage since First Medical has different networks for different plans.
Calls to any general helpline will be answered or returned by a paid advertiser.
