How Insurance Helps Cover Addiction Treatment
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have made it possible for more people to access addiction treatment than ever before. Under these federal laws, health insurance companies must cover mental health and SUD services in a way that’s no more restrictive than their coverage for physical health conditions. In most cases, this means that your insurance policy will cover some or all types of addiction treatment, such as detox, inpatient and outpatient rehab, therapy, and medication-assisted treatment.
Of course, these details depend on your insurance provider and the specific terms of your policy. The availability of in-network and out-of-network providers, deductibles and copays, and coverage limits can all affect how much you pay out of pocket for treatment. At Willow Ridge Recovery, we believe in transparency. We will help you verify your insurance and walk you through your financial obligations before services begin.

How to Use Insurance to Pay for Addiction Treatment: Step-by-Step
If you are in the process of entering treatment at Willow Ridge Recovery and would like to utilize your insurance plan to pay for treatment, follow these easy steps:
Begin by familiarizing yourself with your current insurance policy. This can be done by either reviewing the materials you were given when enrolling in your plan or contacting your insurance provider. Be sure to take note of the following when reviewing your policy or discussing with your provider:
- Behavioral Health Benefits: Does your plan cover mental health and addiction services? If so, this should be clearly stated.
- In-Network and Out-of-Network Providers: Does your plan require you to use in-network providers in order to be covered? If so, you will need to seek care from one of these providers in order for your insurance to pay for your treatment.
- Coverage Limits: Are there any limitations to your plan’s addiction treatment coverage? For example, is there a maximum number of days your plan will cover for treatment, or are certain treatments required to be pre-authorization?
- Your Deductible, Copay, and Out-of-Pocket Spending Limit: Be sure to take note of these financial aspects of your addiction coverage.
