Insurance Coverage
Addiction is a complex medical problem that takes a huge toll on everyone it touches. With the right kind of addiction treatment and support system, almost anyone can turn the tide against substance use and the adverse impact it has on their quality of life. There are many health insurance providers that offer behavioral health insurance coverage for alcohol and drug addiction.
Phoenix House Florida is in network with many top insurance providers. Receiving drug rehab treatment from an in-network provider may help you avoid paying the full cost of treatment. In-network providers have negotiated an agreed-upon price for services with the health plan, which are generally at a lower cost than for someone without insurance or through a plan in which the provider is not in-network.
Treatment cost may vary depending on your policy, copay, and deductible. You may be required to meet a deductible and/or pay a copayment or coinsurance if the services you receive are not fully covered. A copayment is a flat amount you pay for the services; coinsurance is a percentage of the costs that you pay, and a deductible is the amount you pay for covered services before your insurance will pay for services. The level of coverage you receive from your insurance for substance use treatment will vary based on your plan and the state you live in. Preauthorization is usually required for treatment of substance use disorders. Preauthorization, also known as prior authorization or prior approval, is when your health insurer determines that a treatment or equipment is medically necessary for your condition. Those who require preauthorization for substance use disorder services and fail to obtain it may be responsible for paying the full cost of treatment.
