Celebrate With Us: Centered Is Now In-Network with UnitedHealthcare/Optum!
We’re excited to share another huge milestone in Centered Recovery’s mission to make transformative addiction and mental health treatment more accessible—Centered is now officially in-network with UnitedHealthcare (UHC) and Optum! That’s right—if you or your loved one carries insurance through UHC/Optum, receiving care at Centered just became easier, more affordable, and more streamlined than ever before.
As one of Georgia’s only mindfulness-based, non-12-step treatment programs, our goal has always been to reduce barriers to care. We know that navigating insurance is one of the most common roadblocks to starting treatment, so we’ve worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make these partnerships possible. And we’re not done yet—Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) is officially on track to be in-network with us starting next month!
What Centered In-Network with UHC/Optum Means for You
When Centered is in-network with a provider like UnitedHealthcare or Optum, it means we’ve negotiated rates directly with the insurer so clients can access care at lower, more predictable costs. For UHC/Optum policyholders, this means:
-
Lower copays and deductibles for treatment services
-
Direct billing to your insurance—no messy reimbursement forms
-
Full access to our comprehensive outpatient and intensive outpatient programs
This is great news for anyone who’s been delaying care due to financial uncertainty. If you’re unsure about your UHC or Optum benefits, our admissions team can verify everything for you, free of charge.
More Insurance Options = More Access to Treatment
While our recent partnership with Cigna was a major first step, expanding to include UHC/Optum is a clear reflection of our commitment to making quality mental health and addiction care accessible for all. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, substance use, or burnout, Centered’s in-network partnerships now span two of the largest health insurance companies in the U.S.
And there’s more to come—our in-network status with Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) will go live next month. That means more coverage options for even more individuals and families across Georgia.
In the meantime, if you’re insured through BCBS, Aetna, or another provider, you may still be eligible for treatment through out-of-network benefits. PPO plans especially often reimburse a large portion of care. Our team can help you navigate your benefits and see if this is an option for you.
Why Centered Offers A Different Kind of Care
As more insurance providers welcome Centered into their networks, we’re reminded of why our program stands out. Centered offers something truly unique: a mindfulness-based, non-12-step approach to addiction and mental health recovery. We believe lasting change happens when clients gain insight, practice self-awareness, and learn how to respond—not react—to life’s challenges.
Our programs are flexible, evidence-informed, and deeply rooted in compassion. We meet you where you are, offering everything from full-day structured care to evening IOP groups or self-paced educational programming. Whether you need high-level clinical support or simply want to maintain progress and momentum, we have a level of care that fits your life.
Virtual and In-Person: Care That Meets You Where You Are
Don’t forget! Centered also offers a fully virtual IOP program that’s available anywhere in Georgia. Designed for real-life accessibility, our online platform makes it easy to connect with facilitators, therapists, and peers, no matter where you’re located. Whether you’re attending in-person or virtually, you’ll have the same engaging experience, high-quality content, and access to the support you need.
Our hybrid and online models ensure no one is left behind from group therapy and individual counseling to mindfulness education and relapse prevention strategies.
So, What’s Next?
We’re not stopping here. Our partnerships with Cigna and UHC/Optum are just the beginning. With Anthem BCBS coming in-network next month, and ongoing efforts with Aetna and other major carriers, we’re on a mission to bring mindful, compassionate care to as many people as possible.
Each new insurance partner is another step toward breaking down the financial barriers that keep people from seeking help. It’s another family getting support. Another individual is starting their journey to wellness. And another chance to show that recovery doesn’t have to mean rigid, one-size-fits-all treatment. It can be empowering, mindful, and deeply personal.
Ready to Begin?
Whether you’re just exploring options or ready to begin treatment, we’re here to help. If you are covered by UHC/Optum or Cigna, or want to check out-of-network options with another provider, contact our admissions team today. We’ll walk you through every step—benefits verification, schedule planning, and finding the right level of care for your needs.
