Does AmeriHealth Cover Drug & Alcohol Rehab?

Some AmeriHealth health plans include behavioral health benefits that can include drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Mental health and substance abuse treatments are included in many health insurance plans as essential health benefits under the Affordable Care Act.

AmeriHealth rehab coverage varies depending on factors such as the type of plan an individual has and whether the rehabilitation facility is in their network. Some of the treatments that an individual can receive include inpatient rehabilitation and medical detoxification.

Since AmeriHealth offers different types of health insurance coverage, its benefits vary by state. AmeriHealth provides PPO plans, employer-sponsored plans, and marketplace plans.

What Addiction Treatment Services May Be Covered by AmeriHealth?

AmeriHealth insurance coverage may include several treatment services necessary for addiction recovery.

Medical Detox

Medical detox is often the first stage of treatment for individuals experiencing withdrawal symptoms from drugs or alcohol. AmeriHealth coverage may include medically supervised detox when healthcare providers determine the service is medically necessary.

Inpatient / Residential Rehab

Inpatient rehab services offer 24-hour treatment in a rehab facility and cater to individuals struggling with substance abuse disorders and mental health issues. The services may be approved depending on the history of treatment, approval of the plan, and network participation.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)

Partial hospitalization programs provide an intense level of care during the day and then allow patients to return home at night. Some AmeriHealth plans may cover PHP as a step-down level of care after a stay in an inpatient facility.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)

Intensive outpatient programs involve therapy a few days a week in a highly structured setting. AmeriHealth plans can include coverage for an IOP if inpatient care is not necessary.

Telehealth Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)

Telehealth behavioral health services may be available under certain AmeriHealth plans, depending on the level of need. Telehealth technology allows patients to participate in addiction and mental health treatment sessions online.

Banyan Treatment Center can assist you in verifying AmeriHealth’s coverage and seeing if you qualify for telehealth services.

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient rehab may include therapy sessions, group counseling, and ongoing recovery support. Many AmeriHealth health plans include outpatient behavioral health services as part of their health care coverage.

Aftercare / Continuing Care

Aftercare services support long-term recovery and may include relapse prevention planning, counseling, and continued treatment support, depending on the individual's health plan.

 

 

Note: Length of stay and level of care are typically determined by medical necessity and clinical evaluation.

Does AmeriHealth Cover Mental Health Treatment and Therapy?

AmeriHealth mental health services, which could be provided in terms of therapy sessions or counseling, are usually a component of addiction treatment.

Coverage may include:

  • Individual therapy and counseling
  • Group and family therapy
  • Co-occurring disorder treatment
  • Ongoing mental health support

Many AmeriHealth health plans may also cover psychiatry services and medication management. The services provided may include psychiatric evaluation, medications, and management by medical professionals.

Inpatient Mental Health Coverage

Some AmeriHealth health plans may cover inpatient mental health care or residential programs for persons suffering from severe mental health conditions or co-occurring disorders.

How Much Does Rehab Cost With AmeriHealth?

The cost of addiction treatment with AmeriHealth varies depending on the health plan, network participation, and level of care. Though AmeriHealth helps in minimizing the cost of addiction treatment, the members still have to pay out-of-pocket expenses like deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.

Factors That Affect Your Out-of-Pocket Cost

  • In-network vs. out-of-network providers
  • Deductibles, copays, and coinsurance
  • Prior authorization and medical necessity review
  • Level of care (medical detox, inpatient, outpatient programs)
  • AmeriHealth health plan and location
