MultiPlan Insurance Coverage for Addiction Treatment

Using MultiPlan Insurance Coverage to pay for addiction treatment: One of the first things that someone thinks of when considering going to treatment for substance or alcohol abuse is the cost of the program. Substance abuse treatment can be costly. Fortunately, your MultiPlan insurance plan will cover alcohol and substance abuse treatment. Treatment could be free or at a fraction of the costs that you would expect. Our addiction treatment specialists can help you find treatment options for substance abuse and mental health disorders that your insurance plan will cover. We work with programs that are both in-network and out-of-network with MultiPlan Insurance.

Having health insurance does not guarantee coverage for all types of treatment for alcohol or drug addictions. Health insurance coverage can vary by plan. Most insurance plans will cover most or part of treatment for a substance abuse disorder depending on the plan you have chosen. You can call us to find out if there are any drug rehab centers nearby that take MultiPlan Insurance. If you would like to find out more about drug rehab programs near you, give us a call and we can get your insurance verified today.

How to check my MultiPlan insurance coverage for substance abuse programs?

If your insurance provider is MultiPlan, and you are not sure about what is covered or which plan you have, there are a few ways to find out what is covered.

You can:

Give us a call and find out if your policy is in-network with one of the treatment programs we work with. Your rehab stay could be free depending on your policy, deductible, co-insurance payment, and copays. If you are wondering how to come up with copays, deductibles, or co-insurance payments we may be able to help you find a solution through third-party lending, insurance negotiation with your provider, or scholarships to help you cover the out-of-pocket expenses.

Getting an account set up is simple, you will need your policy number or your social security number to verify your identity. From there it is easy to see what you are covered for and what out-of-pocket expenses you should be prepared for before committing to a rehab center program.

How much will you have to pay in out-of-pocket expenses?

Coverage amounts for drug and alcohol addictions are dependent on your policy, co-insurance, deductible, and copays. Many people have a set deductible for both medical and mental health services. This is a set amount you must pay before your MultiPlan insurance policy will start covering your rehab stay. Once your insurance plan starts paying after the deductible has been met, they will typically cover a set amount, depending on your plan. You might need to pay the remaining amount if you have reached your coverage limits.

Co-insurance is a percentage of a covered service or procedure that you are responsible for. Example: If you have a "30% coinsurance" policy, it means that, when you have a medical bill, you are responsible for 30% of it. You may have to meet a deductible before you make the co-insurance payment depending on your policy.

Deductible is the amount of money you must pay before MultiPlan will cover any expenses. Example: if you have a $5000 deductible you will have to pay that before they will cover the rest of your rehab stay.

Copay is a set amount that you will pay for a service or procedure before you have met your deductible. You may have to make copayments even after you have met your deductible depending on your policy.

What kind of behavioral health treatment will MultiPlan insurance pay for?

Multi Plan Insurance will cover the following services relating to substance abuse disorders, and mental health treatment.

Detox
Medication-assisted treatment programs.
