Intermediate care. There are times when a member will require medically necessary care that is more intensive than the typical outpatient care. But, the member does not need 24-hour inpatient hospital care. This intermediate care may include (but is not limited to): 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 partial hospital programs, intensive outpatient programs and mobile crisis intervention services is considered to be an outpatient benefit. For these covered services, a copayment for outpatient benefits will be waived. The member will be still responsible for any deductible and/or coinsurance.
