Blue Cross Blue Shield North Dakota Warns About Possible Rehab Scams

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota has a warning about possible rehab schemes.

Some people seeking treatment are being targeted by out-of-state sources with offers of flights, luxury treatment centers and possible employment opportunities.

The potential rehab scams often target American Indian reservations.

The Blues say these schemes can lead to financial hardship, ineffective treatment and compromised recovery.

They offer these tips to avoid being scammed:

· Verify that the facility is licensed and fully accredited.

· Ensure the facility participates with your insurance plan.

· Inquire about the specific treatment programs offered.

Red flags include unsolicited recruiters promising lavish treatment at little or no cost and offers to pay for flights.
