About eating disorder treatment in Nebraska
Specialty programs run in the Omaha metro. EDCare in Omaha provides adult partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, outpatient, and statewide virtual IOP care; OMNI Inventive Care runs a Joint Commission-accredited eating disorder clinic for adolescents and adults at the partial-hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient levels; and Children's Nebraska runs the only pediatric eating disorder specialty program in the area. Lincoln has Hope Healthcare PC for outpatient care. Grand Island, Kearney, Norfolk, Scottsbluff, the Sandhills, the Panhandle, and the rural counties have no in-person eating disorder specialty program. Because Nebraska has no in-state residential or inpatient eating disorder unit, residents who need that level of care travel out of state.
Paying for treatment in Nebraska
Most commercial health plans in Nebraska cover eating disorder treatment as a mental health benefit, subject to your plan's deductible, copays, and prior-authorization rules. Whether a given program is in network depends on your specific plan, which the program can verify for you. Nebraska residents who need residential or inpatient care travel out of state.(source)
Nebraska Medicaid, delivered through Heritage Health, covers eating disorder treatment as a mental health benefit, with prior authorization and medical-necessity review for higher levels of care. OMNI Inventive Care's Eating Disorder Clinic in Omaha accepts Nebraska Medicaid for partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient eating disorder treatment. Children may also qualify through Kids Connection, Nebraska's CHIP program.(source)

Common questions about eating disorder treatment in Nebraska
Where can I get residential eating disorder treatment in Nebraska?
Nebraska has no in-state residential or specialty inpatient eating disorder program. The most intensive in-state options are partial hospitalization programs in Omaha: EDCare's Omaha campus (adults), OMNI Inventive Care's Eating Disorder Clinic (adolescents and adults, Joint Commission accredited), and Children's Nebraska's pediatric program at the Behavioral Health and Wellness Center (through age 21). Lincoln has one multidisciplinary outpatient practice, Hope Healthcare PC. Residents needing residential care travel out of state.
Does Nebraska Medicaid (Heritage Health) cover eating disorder treatment?
Yes. Nebraska Medicaid, delivered through Heritage Health, covers eating disorder treatment as a mental health benefit. OMNI Inventive Care's Eating Disorder Clinic in Omaha accepts it for partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient care, and children may also qualify through Kids Connection.
What about eating disorder treatment in Grand Island, Scottsbluff, the Panhandle, or rural Nebraska?
Nebraska's in-person eating disorder specialty programs are all in Omaha (EDCare, OMNI Inventive Care, Children's Nebraska), plus the Lincoln outpatient practice Hope Healthcare PC. Grand Island, Kearney, Norfolk, Scottsbluff, the Panhandle, the Sandhills, and the rural counties have no in-person specialty program. For families in those regions, virtual programs cover outpatient and intensive outpatient care (EDCare runs a statewide Virtual IOP). Residential or inpatient care means traveling out of state.
