​​Teleaddiction Services through Bright Heart Health with Specialist Copay

In response to COVID-19, Highmark has launched teleaddiction services through Bright Heart Health for members residing in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia only.  Bright Heart is available 24x7 so members can receive treatment right in their home, by way of PCP referral, warm emergency room handoff or member self-referral.  Bright Heart and teleaddiction is intended to prevent an increase in substance use deaths from overdose or medical complications arising from the extended confinement, stressors at home and the following: 

  • Individuals who have their treatment journey interrupted by access issues to physician or methadone clinic risk relapse and overdose

  • Facilities may turn people away if they have an outbreak, placing them at risk of relapse and overdose
  • Individuals who are ready to access treatment cannot easily because of stay at home order.

Please note that even though this service is provided in a “telemedicine format" it is NOT part of the telemedicine benefit. Bright Heart Health employs addiction specialists and is considered a specialist.  As such the specialist cost sharing will apply accordingly.  Refer to the flyer  for more information.
