Intermediate care. There are times when a member will require medically necessary care that is more intensive than typical outpatient care. But, the member does not need 24-hour inpatient hospital care. This intermediate care may include (but is not limited to): acute residential treatment, clinically managed detoxification services, or crisis stabilization services; partial hospital programs, intensive outpatient programs, day treatment programs, in-home therapy services, or mobile crisis intervention services. Blue Cross Blue Shield will arrange for intermediate care with the appropriate mental health provider. Coverage for acute residential treatment is considered to be an inpatient benefit while coverage for partial hospital programs and intensive outpatient programs is considered to be an outpatient benefit.
