1(800) 615-1067Insurance coverage for substance abuse treatment varies depending on the type of insurance and the specific policy. However, in the United States, many insurance plans are required by law to cover substance abuse treatment as an essential health benefit. This includes both private insurance plans purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace and employer-sponsored plans.
The coverage for substance abuse treatment can vary between plans and can depend on the level of care needed. For example, inpatient treatment may have different coverage than outpatient treatment. Additionally, some insurance plans may require pre-authorization for substance abuse treatment or limit the number of days covered.
It’s important to check with your specific insurance provider to determine what coverage is available for substance abuse treatment. Many insurance providers have a behavioral health department or hotline that you can call to get more information about your coverage.
