Insurance and Addiction Treatment
Addiction Treatment Provided by
Aetna Health Insurance
If you are currently looking for a drug rehab, you have many choices to consider when selecting the perfect rehab for your needs. Among those considerations are the quality of care, evidence-based treatment programs, and the experience of treatment staff, among other concerns. While those factors are critical, arguably the most significant factor in choosing a treatment facility is whether they accept your insurance. Having solid addiction rehab insurance will give you peace of mind when it comes to receiving the best care possible. Most importantly, having excellent insurance can save you thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs.
There are many different insurance companies that offer addiction coverage. One of the biggest and most reputable of those insurance companies is Aetna. While Aetna has a long-standing reputation as a reputable company, does Aetna drug coverage cover the essential services clients need to get and stay sober? This article will further explore Aetna drug and alcohol rehabs and their coverage for both in and out-of-network.

Aetna Rehab Centers
What is an Aetna Drug and Alcohol Rehab Center?
Since substance abuse and mental health treatment are considered essential services, rehab centers covered by Aetna must provide the following services:
-Behavioral health treatment, psychotherapy and counseling
-Mental and behavioral health inpatient services
-Substance use disorder treatment
Also, it is important to note that Aetna substance abuse treatment plans cannot deny you or charge you more for services if you have pre-existing conditions. Furthermore, there must be parity protections where limits are applied to mental health, and substance abuse services can't be more restrictive than limits applied to other medical and surgical services.

In general, inpatient and residential treatment costs considerably more than outpatient programs. However, services in both inpatient and outpatient programs are covered as long as those services are deemed medically necessary. This includes individual, group, and family therapy, detox services, mental health services, and meals, among other services. Usually, experimental therapies and some holistic therapy programs are not covered under an Aetna drug and alcohol rehab insurance plan.
