If your health insurance is provided through a North Carolina or South Carolina employer, there is a good chance you have encountered the MedCost network.
Many individuals are unsure whether MedCost covers addiction treatment, mental health services, or outpatient behavioral healthcare, especially because MedCost often works behind the scenes as part of a larger employer-sponsored health plan.
Green Hill Recovery is in-network with MedCost and works with individuals and families throughout the Triangle seeking addiction treatment, mental health care, and recovery support services.
Our team can help you understand your benefits and determine what treatment options may be available through your plan.

Does MedCost Cover Addiction and Mental Health Treatment?
Many health plans that utilize the MedCost network include benefits for behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment. Coverage varies depending on your employer-sponsored plan, but many members have access to services such as therapy, psychiatry, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and structured outpatient treatment programs.
Coverage may vary based on:
- Your specific health plan
- Deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums
- Copays and coinsurance requirements
- Authorization requirements
- Medical necessity criteria
Because MedCost works with a variety of employer-sponsored plans, benefits can differ significantly from one member to another. A benefits verification is the most reliable way to understand your coverage.
Green Hill Recovery Is In-Network with MedCost
Choosing an in-network provider can make a significant difference in the overall cost of treatment.
As an in-network MedCost provider, Green Hill has established agreements that may help reduce out-of-pocket expenses for eligible members. Receiving care from an in-network provider often results in lower costs and a more straightforward insurance experience.
Potential advantages of using in-network benefits include:
- Lower out-of-pocket expenses
- Reduced financial uncertainty
- Simplified billing and claims processing
- Greater transparency regarding treatment costs
Our team works directly with insurance companies and files claims on your behalf whenever applicable, helping make the process easier for patients and families.
What MedCost Covers at Green Hill
Many plans that utilize the MedCost network provide benefits for outpatient addiction treatment and mental health services.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP is designed for individuals who need a high level of support while remaining connected to their home environment. This level of care can be particularly helpful during periods when symptoms or substance use have become difficult to manage without intensive clinical support.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP provides a structured treatment experience while allowing individuals to continue practicing recovery skills in their daily lives. It is often used by individuals who need more support than weekly therapy alone can provide.
Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (Mental Health IOP)
Mental Health IOP helps individuals who are struggling with symptoms that are affecting work, relationships, school, or daily functioning and who would benefit from a higher level of therapeutic support.
Therapy
Therapy provides an opportunity to address substance use concerns, mental health challenges, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and other issues that may be affecting overall wellbeing.
Psychiatry
Psychiatric services help individuals evaluate symptoms, clarify diagnoses, and determine whether medication may be an appropriate part of treatment.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medication-Assisted Treatment combines evidence-based medications with therapy and recovery support to help individuals recovering from alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder.
MedCost: A Regional Network Many Carolinas Employers Use
Unlike national insurance companies, MedCost operates primarily as a healthcare network serving employers throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and the surrounding region.
Because of this, many people are unaware they have MedCost coverage until they review their insurance card or employer benefits information. In many cases, MedCost serves as the provider network that gives members access to participating healthcare organizations across the Carolinas.
This regional focus makes MedCost a common network for:
- North Carolina employers
- South Carolina employers
- Local businesses
- Regional healthcare systems
- Self-funded employer health plans
If your employer uses MedCost, our admissions team can help determine whether Green Hill is in-network and what benefits may be available under your specific plan.

Your Coverage Rights
