Does Anthem Cover Drug & Alcohol Rehab?

Many Anthem health insurance plans include behavioral health benefits that may cover substance abuse and addiction treatment services. Under the Affordable Care Act, mental health and substance use disorder treatment are considered essential health benefits included in many insurance plans.

The rehab coverage that is offered by Anthem may vary depending on whether the rehab facility is in-network, the type of insurance plan, and the level of care that is needed. For instance, medical detox and rehab services need prior authorization and meet the medical necessity criteria for coverage.

Since Anthem is a large insurance provider that offers services in many states, it offers a variety of plans, such as employer-sponsored plans, marketplace plans, and Medicare plans.

What Addiction Treatment Services May Be Covered by Anthem?

Anthem insurance coverage might include various treatment services that aid in the recovery of an individual suffering from an addiction.

Medical Detox

Medical detox is the initial treatment for an individual who is suffering from withdrawal symptoms due to drug or alcohol addiction. Anthem insurance coverage might include medical detox if it is medically necessary.

Inpatient / Residential Rehab

Inpatient rehabilitation is a 24-hour care program within a treatment facility that assists individuals dealing with substance use disorders as well as co-occurring mental health issues. The benefits vary depending on treatment history, clinical approval, and network participation.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)

Partial hospitalization programs allow patients to receive intensive treatment during the day while still going home at night. Some Anthem plans may offer PHP as a step-down level of care after an inpatient program.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)

Intensive outpatient programs provide several days of therapy per week in a structured environment without requiring overnight stays. Coverage by Anthem may include IOP when inpatient care is deemed not medically necessary.

Telehealth Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)

Some health insurance plans provided by Anthem may include coverage for behavioral health services through telehealth services if deemed medically necessary. Telehealth IOP is a type of online program that allows patients to participate in structured addiction or mental health treatment services through online platforms.

Banyan Treatment Center can help verify Anthem coverage to ensure that patients are eligible to participate in telehealth services.

Standard Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient rehab programs may include individual therapy, group counseling, and support services. Outpatient behavioral health services may be part of substance abuse treatment coverage under an individual's health plan with Anthem.

Aftercare / Continuing Care
