Controlled substances are drugs or other substances that are tightly controlled by the government because they may be abused or cause addiction. The control applies to the way the substance is made, used, handled, stored, and distributed. Controlled substances include opioids, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, and anabolic steroids. Controlled substances with known medical use, such as morphine, Valium, and Ritalin, are available only by prescription from a licensed medical professional.   Some common uses where controlled substances may be involved:

Most insurances do NOT require a prior-authorization. However, upon booking a session with us, our support team will verify your benefits to determine if a prior authorization is required.

Prior authorization is required for Tricare Primary Active Duty Members (IP is the military personnel)
If you have Tricare Prime Active Duty and the active duty personnel is the IP (identified patient) then a prior authorization is required when seeking counseling from a civilian provider such as Overcomers Counseling.  However, family members of the Active Duty member do not need prior authorization.

Couples counseling is typically not covered by insurance. This is because many insurance companies consider relationship counseling as not medically necessary, therefore, it falls outside the standard coverage. Please visit our Costs to learn more about our rates.  

Yes!  Health First Colorado (Medicaid CO) is broken up into seven regions (RAEs), and Overcomers is in-network with all regions.  On rare occasions, Overcomers may not be able to accept a client with specific stipulations with their Medicaid benefits.  Upon booking a session, Overcomers will verify your benefits.
