MBHA is in the process of securing a limited number of managed care contracts for IOP's (Intensive Outpatient Programs)
In an effort to make the IOP more accessible for those who cannot afford out-of-pocket, we will let you know the moment we secure those contracts and with whom.
Of course, all 3 of our targeted IOP's (Tweens, Bariatric and Adult/Young Adult Anorexia & Bulimia) still remain available to those able to use out-of-network benefits or private pay.
