Will Insurance Pay for Addiction Treatment?

Yes, often. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that private insurance companies offer some level of substance abuse treatment coverage to their members. The ACA classifies substance abuse treatment as a vital health care benefit for citizens of the United States. As a result, most insurance providers cannot entirely refuse coverage for substance use disorders. However, the specifics of your coverage will vary based on the state where you obtained your benefits and the type of health care plan you selected, such as a PPO or HMO plan.
Rehabilitation insurance companies might require their clients to select from a limited list of approved or “in-network” or “out-of-network” providers, which helps keep treatment expenses lower. Additionally, they may ask members looking for detox services and other addiction treatments to cover part of their care costs through premiums, deductibles, and copayments. In some cases, if you have reached your out-of-pocket maximum, you may have no copay when entering treatment.
Certain insurance plans fully cover detox and treatment costs once members reach their deductibles. Other insurers may require members to make copayments for each service billed by the treatment facility. Treatment at out-of-network facilities can often result in higher costs for insured members. The detox process can differ based on the substance involved, and the extent of insurance coverage will also vary according to the selected method and the individual’s specific policy. For instance, a non-medical detox may be less expensive compared to a hospital-based detox program. Although insurance providers are generally required to cover substance abuse treatment, they are not obligated to cover inpatient care. If outpatient treatment fails, inpatient care may be considered medically necessary. Medical necessity occurs when an insurance company decides, based on careful clinical judgment by a physician, that the patient requires inpatient treatment.
