Livengrin Foundation Cost: Bensalem, PA

How we estimated this cost

Livengrin Foundation does not publish a single specific price on its website or in third-party directories we reviewed. Cost varies substantially based on funding source — Medicaid vs. commercial PPO vs. PA state/county contract vs. sliding-scale self-pay. We triangulated this estimate from five public sources:

1. SAMHSA Treatment Locator confirms Livengrin as a licensed PA facility with a full continuum in Bensalem + outpatient sites.
2. PA DDAP (Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs) provider directory lists Livengrin as a PA-licensed SUD treatment non-profit.
3. IRS 501(c)(3) status (founded 1966) confirms non-profit mission-driven operations — among the oldest SUD treatment organizations in Pennsylvania.
4. Recovery.com directory lists commercial carriers accepted; no specific pricing.
5. Our New Jersey state cost guide documents regional nonprofit residential at $8K–$22K per 30 days and regional standard commercial residential at $18K–$35K per 30-day stay.

We placed Livengrin’s estimate at $12,000–$28,000 per 30-day stay — spanning the sliding-scale self-pay range to commercial PPO tier. Medicaid and PA state/county-funded placements typically have $0 out-of-pocket.

This is an editorial estimate, not a quote. Actual cost depends heavily on funding source — verify directly with Livengrin admissions.

Why Livengrin’s pricing model is different

Livengrin is structurally different from for-profit PA rehabs because of its 501(c)(3) non-profit mission:

• Medicaid-accepting at scale — Livengrin is one of the primary PA Medical Assistance SUD residential providers in the Philadelphia metro.
• PA state and county contracts — Livengrin receives publicly funded placements for uninsured PA residents through state and county behavioral health authorities.
• Sliding-scale self-pay — Income-based pricing for uninsured patients who don’t qualify for Medicaid.
• Commercial PPO acceptance — Livengrin also accepts Independence BCBS, Highmark BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare commercial plans.
• Philadelphia-metro access — Bensalem campus plus outpatient satellite sites increase geographic access for Philadelphia, Bucks County, and adjacent NJ patients.

Non-profit status enables mission-driven pricing and public funding relationships that for-profit rehabs cannot replicate. Clinically, outcomes at well-run non-profits are comparable to outcomes at for-profit private-pay programs when evidence-based treatment is delivered — NIDA’s research consistently supports this finding.

Pennsylvania parity and Medicaid framework

Livengrin operates under PA’s addiction treatment framework:

• PA Act 106 (2015) and Act 60 parity — Pennsylvania has strong state parity laws layered on federal MHPAEA. Act 106 guarantees coverage for medically necessary inpatient SUD treatment; Act 60 enforces parity with medical coverage.
• PA DDAP licensure — Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs regulates all PA SUD providers.
• PA Medical Assistance (Medicaid) — PA expanded Medicaid under the ACA. Medicaid MCO plans (Keystone First, Health Partners, AmeriHealth Caritas, UPMC for You) cover SUD services including residential.
• PA Get Help Now helpline — 1-800-662-4357, PA’s statewide access line for publicly funded SUD placements.

For Medicaid and uninsured patients in the Philadelphia metro, Livengrin is often one of the fastest Medicaid-accepting pathways.
