Understanding UMR Insurance
UMR (United Medical Resources) functions as a third-party administrator that manages health benefits for employers who choose to self-fund their employee health plans. While UMR processes claims and administers benefits, your specific coverage is determined by your employer’s plan design. This structure allows for flexibility in benefit design while maintaining the expertise and network access that UMR provides.
For mental health coverage, UMR has developed comprehensive networks of mental health providers and treatment facilities that specialize in evidence-based care. They understand that mental health treatment, particularly for adolescents, often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving various levels of care and different types of therapeutic interventions.
UMR also recognizes that adolescent mental health treatment often involves the entire family system. Many UMR plans include provisions for family therapy and parent education, understanding that successful adolescent treatment requires family engagement and support throughout the recovery process.

How Long Will UMR Cover Adolescent Treatment for?
Initial authorizations for intensive levels of care are typically granted for 30 to 90 days, with the possibility of extensions based on ongoing clinical assessment and documented treatment progress.
For residential treatment programs, UMR usually provides authorizations in stages, requiring regular clinical reviews to ensure that the level of care remains medically necessary.
These reviews consider factors such as treatment progress, safety concerns, and the availability of less intensive alternatives. However, UMR recognizes that adolescent mental health and addiction treatment often requires extended periods of intervention to achieve lasting change.
What Parents Should Expect
At Hillcrest Adolescent Los Angeles, we implement a comprehensive 90-day treatment model that has proven effective for adolescent mental health and addiction recovery.
This evidence-based approach aligns well with UMR’s understanding of what constitutes medically necessary treatment for adolescents, as it provides sufficient time for meaningful therapeutic work while being cost-effective and outcome-focused.
During the first 30 days, the focus is on comprehensive assessment, crisis stabilization, and initial engagement in treatment.
Your teenager will undergo thorough psychological and psychiatric evaluations, begin individual and group therapy, and start developing therapeutic relationships with our clinical staff. UMR typically provides strong coverage during this critical phase, recognizing that proper assessment and stabilization are essential foundations for successful treatment.
The second 30-day period emphasizes intensive therapeutic work and skill development.
Your teen will participate in various evidence-based therapies including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy skills groups, trauma-focused interventions when appropriate, and family therapy sessions. During this phase, the treatment team works intensively with your teenager to address underlying issues and develop healthy coping mechanisms. UMR coverage during this period typically includes all necessary therapeutic modalities and interventions.
The final 30 days focus on transition planning, relapse prevention, and preparation for returning to home and school environments.
This includes developing comprehensive aftercare plans, strengthening family relationships and communication, establishing connections with community resources and ongoing support services, and practicing newly learned skills in gradually increasing real-world situations.
Throughout the 90-day treatment period, parents can expect regular communication from our clinical team through scheduled family therapy sessions, weekly progress updates and phone calls, participation in treatment planning meetings, educational workshops on adolescent mental health and recovery, and comprehensive discharge planning meetings.
