Addiction can be scary, and a lot of the fear involved can come from being unsure how to pay for treatment, once an individual has chosen to get help. Many people don’t have the ability to use private insurance for addiction treatment and avoid seeking help because they are afraid of the out-of-pocket cost of rehab.
Can Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?
In nearly all cases, your health insurance, no matter what type, will cover individual addiction treatment in New Jersey. This is because addiction is classified as a disease and, just as many other diseases, require medical treatment to manage. There are often stipulations about how much treatment will be covered and for how long, but most private insurance plans have provisions for both substance abuse disorder recovery, and alcohol abuse recovery.
Navigating Your Insurance Plan
What is the Affordable Care Act?
The first, and best, place to get information on the specifics of your insurance plan, is to read the policy. At first, they can be intimidating, but once you start reading they are self-explanatory. The policy will spell out what kind of treatment it will cover, and for how long. For example, it may state that in the case of substance abuse disorder, the policy will cover 14 days of inpatient care or up to 45 days in a partial care program or intensive outpatient program.
The Affordable Care Act is a comprehensive health insurance reform law that was signed into law in 2010. It helps boost insurance coverage for the uninsured and underinsured and creates legislative reforms in the health insurance marketplace. It is one of the primary reasons that mental health & addiction coverage must be provided.
