Massachusetts residents benefit from the strongest state-level parity law in the country, layered on top of federal MHPAEA protections. That combination often means authorization for out-of-state medically necessary treatment is more straightforward than in other states.
MA state law + federal MHPAEA
Your MA plan must cover substance use treatment at the same level as medical or surgical benefits. Authorization is based on medical necessity, not an arbitrary cap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pines accept patients from Massachusetts?
Yes. Massachusetts is one of our priority service states. We coordinate flights from Boston Logan (BOS) and other regional airports, with confidential transportation from arrival to our Pembroke Pines campus.
How do Massachusetts residents travel to Pines?
Most patients fly to FLL or MIA — under three hours from Boston. We arrange transportation from the airport directly to our campus.
What insurance plans are accepted for Massachusetts residents?
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Tricare, and VA Community Care. Most major Massachusetts plans are in-network or covered as out-of-network.
Why travel from Massachusetts to Florida for treatment?
Florida’s climate, the Pines campus environment, and the distance from familiar triggers can help patients focus on early recovery. Many also choose Florida because their commercial insurance has comparable coverage out-of-state.
Can Massachusetts family visit during treatment?
Yes. Family programming includes scheduled visits, family therapy, and secure video for distant family. We help arrange travel logistics for in-person visits.
