UnitedHealthcare plans vary based on the specific option you have—such as Choice, Choice Plus, or PPO. However, most plans typically include coverage for a variety of addiction treatment services, including:
If you or a loved one are considering rehab, you may be wondering whether your addiction is covered. While exact coverage depends on your plan, UnitedHealthcare generally includes treatment for many common substance use disorders, including alcoholism, opioid addiction, cocaine use, methamphetamine addiction, benzodiazepine abuse, and more.
Because mental health disorders often co-occur with addiction—and can even contribute to it—many healthcare providers include behavioral health coverage alongside substance abuse treatment. For this reason, it’s important to choose a rehab center that offers dual diagnosis programs to address both mental health and addiction together for lasting recovery.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), substance abuse and behavioral health care are recognized as essential health services that all insurance providers must cover. This means patients seeking addiction treatment are entitled to the same level of care as those seeking preventive or medical treatment.
Although rehab is considered essential, your specific UnitedHealthcare plan will determine how much is covered and what you’ll pay out-of-pocket. Most plans require meeting a deductible before coverage begins. If you haven’t yet met your deductible for the year, there are several ways to help cover rehab costs in the meantime, such as personal loans, credit cards, or payment plans.
UnitedHealthcare offers a 24/7 dedicated hotline to provide confidential support for individuals facing drug or alcohol addiction. This helpline can guide you through treatment options and answer any questions you may have about getting help.
