Have you ever felt like your insurance policy is more difficult to understand than your doctor’s handwriting? Yes, we have all been there, have we not? Difficult as it may be to understand your insurance, at Peaceful Path Recovery, we believe in breaking down financial barriers to your behavioral and mental healthcare. Therefore, we will tell you all the ins and outs of insurance when it comes to rehabilitation (rehab), so that you do not experience any challenges going forward.
Does Insurance Cover Rehab?
In a nutshell, yes. Your health insurance will cover both residential and outpatient rehab, as the Affordable Care Act considers your mental health to be a primary health benefit. The good thing is that outpatient rehab is a more cost-effective option than residential rehab, so your insurance will be able to cover a greater number of sessions as you need.
What Outpatient Programs Does Insurance Cover?
Insurance covers different kinds of outpatient programs – from the partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient program, evening intensive outpatient program, outpatient therapy sessions, aftercare, and telehealth services, to case management services. Your insurance will also cover dual diagnosis programs, which is when substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions are treated together.
However, your insurance may not always cover sober living options should you opt for them. So, you will have to clarify this with your insurance provider.
What Is Private Insurance For Rehab?
Private insurance refers to insurance that is not subsidized by the government. Typically, if your company consists of 50 or more employees, you will be covered by a private insurance policy. Otherwise, you will have to pay for your private insurance. While expensive, it does offer extensive coverage.
At Peaceful Path Recovery, we accept most private insurance policies, as they extensively cover behavioral and mental health conditions in accordance with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008.
What Is Dual Coverage?
Dual coverage is when you invest in more than one private insurance policy. One becomes your primary coverage, and the other becomes your secondary coverage. Dual coverage offers more extensive coverage than a single policy, as some aspects of your care that are not covered by one insurance policy can be covered in the other. On the flip side, dual coverage is more expensive and can lead to some confusion between the two policies. However, the latter can be sorted out by speaking with the respective insurance providers, who will then coordinate among themselves.
What If I Do Not Have Insurance Coverage?
If you do not have insurance coverage, you do not have to worry. You can speak with your employer or organization, as more and more companies are beginning to understand how crucial behavioral/mental health is to employee productivity and performance.
Moreover, at Peaceful Path Recovery, we are committed to removing financial barriers to the care you deserve. Therefore, we offer affordable out-of-pocket expenses and even installment options. All you need to do is simply reach out to us at (855) 723-5784, and we can find the best payment option for you going forward. If not, you can even mail us at info@peacefulpathrec.com, and we will get back to you at the earliest.
Frequently Asked Questionst
How much does outpatient rehab cost?
Outpatient rehab is a very cost-effective option when compared to residential rehab. Within outpatient rehab, you also have multiple levels of care that may cost even less. Generally speaking, outpatient rehab costs range from $5,000 to $50,000, but of course, this depends on the rehab center, location, and the kind of services involved.
Is investing in outpatient rehab worth it?
Yes, without question. Outpatient rehab may seem expensive to you at the outset, but investing in it will benefit you financially in the long run. The reason for this is multi-layered.
On the one hand, substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions can be expensive to live with (financially and otherwise), as they can impact your studies, job, and career. On the other hand, with outpatient rehab, you regain control over your life and go on to live a fulfilling life, including finding stable employment. So, you benefit from outpatient rehab in more ways than one.
