Does Molina Healthcare Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

Yes. Molina Drug and Alcohol rehab coverage is covered for each Molina Plan. However, each plan will cover benefits differently and coverage will vary by state and plan type.

Molina Drug and Alcohol Rehab Coverage is covered for the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). If you have an insurance plan with behavioral health benefits, addiction treatment must be covered at a level comparable to medical and surgical benefits.

This applies to your Molina Health Insurance Marketplace plan and Molina Medicaid Managed Care. Your substance use and drug or alcohol treatment benefits cannot be more restrictive than other medical benefits under your plan.
