What types of treatment does insurance typically cover?
Most insurance plans cover the main levels of addiction care, including medical detox, inpatient or residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and therapy. What your specific plan covers depends on its terms. We verify exactly which levels your plan includes before you start.
How do I know if my plan covers rehab?
You can review your policy documents or call the number on your insurance card and ask about substance-use treatment coverage. The simpler option is to let us check for you. Our admissions team confirms your benefits with your insurer at no cost and explains what we find.
What is the difference between in-network and out-of-network?
In-network means a provider has a contract with your insurer, which usually means lower out-of-pocket costs, while out-of-network providers do not have that contract. Coverage differs between the two, but many plans still cover out-of-network care at a different rate. We work with both in-network and out-of-network plans, and we can check how yours applies.
Do I need pre-authorization for treatment?
Many plans require pre-authorization, which means your insurer confirms a level of care is medically necessary before approving coverage. This is common for detox and inpatient treatment. Our admissions team handles the pre-authorization process with your insurer as part of getting you admitted.
Will I have to pay a deductible or copays?
Many plans do involve a deductible, copay, or coinsurance, so it is worth understanding your out-of-pocket responsibility before you start. The exact amount depends on your specific plan. When we verify your benefits, we explain what your share is likely to be so there are no surprises.
Are there limits on coverage?
Some plans limit the number of days of inpatient treatment or sessions of certain therapies they cover. These limits vary widely from plan to plan. We review your benefits to see what applies and work with your coverage to plan your treatment around it.
What if my treatment needs change during treatment?
If your clinical needs change, for example stepping up or down a level of care, we work with your insurer to support continued coverage for the care you need. Insurers reassess coverage based on medical necessity, and our team manages that communication. The goal is a smooth continuation of care.
Can I choose any rehab facility?
You can, though your costs depend on whether the facility is in or out of network with your plan. Some plans cover out-of-network care at a lower rate, and some require you to stay in-network. We can check how your plan treats our facility before you commit to anything.
Does Aetna, Cigna, or my carrier cover rehab here?
We work with most major carriers, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, and Humana, among others, on an in-network or out-of-network basis. Whether your specific plan covers treatment depends on its terms. The fastest way to know is to verify your benefits with us for free.
What if I do not have insurance?
You still have options. We offer payment plans and accept self-pay, so a lack of coverage does not put treatment out of reach. Our guide on how to pay for rehab explains these in more detail.
