MAP Health Management is getting health care plans to cover peer recovery as a health care benefit, but it hasn't been easy. “You're talking to a guy who's been thrown out of more health insurance plan offices than anyone you've ever met,” said Jacob Levenson, founder and chief executive officer of MAP, in an interview with ADAW last month. The early response from insurance companies was “You want us to pay addicts to talk to addicts?” recalled Levenson.
