Will Insurance Cover My Drug Rehab?

You've finally made the decision to seek out drug treatment for your addiction. However, you can't help but wonder if your Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance will cover your drug rehab. Perhaps you've known someone who was turned down for coverage in the past, and you're worried you'll have to pay out of pocket. The good news is that BCBS does cover drug rehab, either partially or in full.

Determining Coverage for Addiction Treatment with Blue Cross Blue Shield

The easiest way to find out more information about your benefits for drug rehab with Blue Cross Blue Shield is by contacting someone who can assist you at your drug rehab facility. Most facilities have addiction specialists who can contact BCBS for details about drug rehab and your policy. First, that person will do an assessment to determine the level of drug treatment that would be best for you.

How Legislation Affects Drug Treatment Coverage with Blue Cross Blue Shield

Because The Affordable Care Act is in place, BCBS is required to cover drug rehab for people who are struggling with addictions. They are not required to provide complete payment or coverage, but many of them do as a service to their customers. This is great because it ensures that anyone who needs to get addiction treatment is able to do it.

Drug Treatment Options with Blue Cross Blue Shield

There is no one type of drug treatment option that works for everyone, and fortunately, BCBS covers many different types of drug rehab methods. Your BCBS policy may cover drug detox and alcohol detox, or it might offer full coverage for an inpatient rehab versus partial coverage for outpatient drug rehab. Your BCBS policy offers benefits for:

• Crystal meth rehab
• Marijuana rehab
• Alcohol treatment
• Cocaine treatment
• Prescription drug treatment
• Heroin rehab
