Lake Forest, California – Harmony Junction Recovery: Alcohol & Drug Rehab, Orange County, a top alcohol rehab in California, is pleased to announce the release of its new online resource, ‘Will My Health Insurance Cover Both Rehab and Any Work-Related Health Costs?’
Health insurance coverage for addiction treatment has improved significantly in recent years due to the implementation of mental health parity laws; however, understanding specific coverage requires a careful review of an individual’s policy details and coordination with their employer’s benefits. Harmony Junction Recovery: Alcohol & Drug Rehab, Orange County’s new online resource hopes to empower prospective patients with crucial information, such as highlighting the relevant laws in place to ensure coverage for addiction treatment, the types of programs that are typically covered and some work-related costs that can arise during treatment, to help them confidently start the journey towards recovery.
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) requires most health insurance plans to provide coverage for mental health and substance use disorder treatment that’s equal to coverage for other medical conditions. This means an insurance provider cannot impose stricter limitations on addiction treatment than it does for other medical treatments.
However, parity laws don’t guarantee that all addiction treatment is covered, only that it’s covered equally to other medical conditions. A plan may still have limitations on the types of treatment covered, the duration of coverage, or the facilities and providers included in a network.
When health insurance plans cover addiction treatment, they often provide coverage for various services, such as inpatient detoxification and residential treatment, for medically necessary care. However, a plan’s network may limit the length of stay, facility choice, and prior authorization requirements. Outpatient treatment services, including individual therapy, group counseling, intensive outpatient programs, and medication-assisted treatment, are typically covered by most health insurance plans. These services often have lower copayments and deductibles than inpatient treatment.
If an individual is taking medical leave for addiction treatment, their employer must typically maintain their health insurance coverage during their leave period under the same terms as if they were actively working. This means insurance coverage continues during treatment, allowing individuals to use their benefits for addiction treatment services.
Despite this, individuals may still be responsible for continuing to pay their share of health insurance premiums during their leave, depending on their employer’s policies and the type of leave. Some employers continue to pay the full premium during medical leave, while others require employees to pay their portion.
