What PHP means
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) gives at least 20 hours of treatment a week, often 4 or more hours a day, 5 days a week, and you sleep at home. That's the line for ASAM's Level 2.5 and for Medicare's PHP benefit. See IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care and what IOP and PHP cost in Texas.
Call the number on your UnitedHealthcare card (behavioral health is often managed by Optum) and ask whether the program is in network, then confirm with the program.
