Get Your Recovery Delivered to Your Door

Getting your recovery delivered to your door means locating a trusted Suboxone doctor and a clinic capable of addiction telemedicine. A Google search does not always provide the results we’re looking for. A Suboxone doctor is typically a physician at a clinic licensed to provide Suboxone telemedicine treatment to patients in their local state, such as Tennessee. (Learn more about Suboxone at FDA.gov)

Finding a Suboxone doctor online also does not guarantee they are licensed in Tennessee to provide Suboxone telemedicine treatment. In fact, only a handful of licensed clinics in the state of Tennessee are accredited to provide online Suboxone treatment to Tennesseans.

Look for TennCare’s BeSMART Certification

In the state of Tennessee, only aTennCare BeSMART-certified clinic can staff Suboxone doctors who provide online treatment. Yes, thanks to COVID 19 there are or were times when any doctor could provide telemedicine Suboxone treatment, but this was only in case of emergency. To find a truly Suboxone doctor online who can provide 100% telemedicine treatment in the state of Tennessee means their facility must be BeSMART-certified by TennCare Medicaid or TennCare Medicare health insurance.

What is TennCare BeSMART?

BeSMART is an accreditation program that only a select few clinics have undergone in Tennessee that allows them to provide additional benefits and services for their patients. More than just the ability to provide online Suboxone treatment, TennCare’s BeSMART affiliation means the clinic and its Suboxone doctors have passed a stringent quality test, undergo separate audits annually from the State of Tennessee, Amerigroup (Wellpoint), BlueCare (Blue Cross Blue Shield), and UnitedHealthcare. 

It also means they are providing Suboxone treatment at a higher level of quality and service than other clinics in the state of Tennessee. 

TennCare BeSMART Telemedicine Suboxone Benefits for Patients

Recovery Care’s online Suboxone doctors and their patients receive many additional benefits and priorities that can make the difference between decent and fantastic addiction recovery. Here are a few examples of these unique benefits:

• No prior authorization needed for TennCare Suboxone medications.
• Priority (express) processing of prior authorizations for Blue Cross Blue Shield and UnitedHealthcare commercial insurance holders.
• Suboxone medications can be delivered by the pharmacy to your door (typically in one day).

TennCare Medicaid Insurance Accepted
TennCare’s spectacular coverage for opioid addiction treatment means that their Medicaid patients receive all of their virtual Suboxone treatment visits and medications at $0 cost.

That alone can be a savings of over $600 per month when considering the cost for Suboxone treatment without insurance is usually $350 per month. Generic versions of Suboxone tablet and film prices change frequently, ranging from $99 to over $200 per month for a patient taking a maintenance dose of 16 mg per day. 

Ther Original (Very Expensive) Suboxone Sublingual Films
As a cost-saving reference, generic Suboxone tablets and films are far more affordable than the original Suboxone films whose prices have remained mostly unchanged since 2013. For example, a patient taking a typical daily maintenance dose of 16 mg who purchases 56 of the original Suboxone sublingual films can expect to pay $466 or more per month.

The NON-TennCare BeSMART Suboxone Clinic Experience

Imagine it’s your first visit at a clinic without the TennCare BeSmart certification. You’re in withdrawal (or nearing withdrawal) and are in dire need of either Suboxone or your drug of choice. Without getting one of them soon, the terrible discomfort of opioid withdrawal will surely set-in. 

You’ve finished your first appointment with your Suboxone doctor (and hopefully a therapist as well) are now in a hurry to get started on Suboxone medication. The only hang-up is, you’re having to wait for TennCare to approve your prior authorization. It then means waiting another 24-hours before being approved. That means another day of extreme discomfort as a result of opioid withdrawals, making it easy to make the very worst decision: returning to your drug of choice.

The BeSMART Suboxone Clinic Experience

Now, imagine it’s your first visit at a Recovery Care, BeSmart certified clinic. You’re in withdrawal (or close to it) and are in dire need of Suboxone medication to avoid painful opioid withdrawals. You complete your appointment with your Suboxone doctor online, you visit with a licensed therapist, and are ready to get started on Suboxone. Your BeSMART-certified clinic promptly filed your TennCare insurance prior authorization at the beginning of your appointment and your Suboxone medication is approved and ready for pickup at your local pharmacy. 

You start your Suboxone treatment same-day as your first appointment and begin a new way of life that is free from substance abuse. In short, a BeSMART-certified clinic is the only choice for people who want to receive the fastest service, and the highest level of patient service and quality.

A Message from One of the Owners at Recovery Care Clinics of Tennessee
“All Recovery Care Clinics of Tennessee are BeSMART-certified. That’s the only way me and my partner Jon were willing to provide addiction treatment. We knew that thanks to COVID 19 there may possibly be the possibility of telemedicine addiction treatment using Suboxone coming in the future.

Thankfully, we were BeSMART-certified long before TennCare and the associated state laws in Tennessee allowed for online addiction treatment, making it easy for us to transition our clinics quickly to begin providing online addiction treatment. We offer this to all of our new patients, and have transitioned most of our existing population to Suboxone telemedicine, saving them time, money, and unneeded hassles. 

We know from personal experience that providing convenient online addiction treatment paired with excellent service to our patients translates into great recovery.

To make sure we keep this promise to our addiction patients, we undergo five audits at each clinic every year, as well as meet with the BeSMART executive team regularly. Why do we care about offering BeSMART benefits to our patients? Because we are in recovery, too!

“Jon and I clearly remember our Suboxone clinic experiences as patients. We hated
every visit.”

We remember having to leave work, spending up to three hours in a waiting room, the many hassles we’d endure at our pharmacies, having to wait a whole day for our prior authorizations to get approved, and having to pay cash (over $400) for our prescriptions to avoid opioid withdrawal.

Worst of all, we remember feeling like cattle, being given a number and told to wait our turn, feeling “dirty” when we went to our Suboxone clinic appointments, and feeling judged.

We also remember being treated rudely by many staff members at the clinics we visited. Though Jon and I didn’t know each other at the time, we both wished we had more choices for our opioid addiction treatment. Online Suboxone treatment wasn’t even an idea before COVID 19. Had it been an option for either Jon or I, we would have jumped at the opportunity.

“I love thinking about our patients being at home or at work during their appointments, knowing they are safe, knowing that if there’s a delay, they at least have the option to watch TV, empty their dishwasher, play with their children, or something else that’s productive, instead of waiting in one of our waiting rooms, which are very clean and comfortable by the way. Best of all, I love knowing that every patient is treated with kindness and respect by our friendly-amazing staff. 

Perhaps our only regret is having spent so much money on our clinic furniture and decorations since hardly anyone sees it anymore!

In short, we’re here because of our experience as Suboxone patients. Our bad clinic experiences are what led to our opening Recovery Care Clinics of Tennessee with the plans and expectations that we could deliver better, faster, kinder, more-respectful care to all of our patients, no matter what.

If someone relapses, we lift them up instead of putting them down. When they have a bad day, we try our best to make it better. Many times, our patient’s do the very same thing for us, and we appreciate it. We recognize everyone has a choice as to where they get their recovery.

We feel it is an honor to be trusted with someone’s recovery. Our patient’s are precious to us. We want every patient to have the best experience possible, knowing we can always improve. Our aim to deliver exceptional patient care is why we’re here. Thanks for reading.”
Drew Bourke – Co-Owner/President
