Aetna Coverage

Whether you need help for drug addiction or a family member seeks treatment, Aetna drug rehab coverage offers the opportunity to get that help. Having insurance is a wonderful head start in changing your life. It helps you pay for the withdrawal management, therapies, and treatments needed for long term recovery. But what does insurance pay for and what must you cover on your own?

Does My Aetna Drug Rehab Coverage Pay for the Treatment I Need?

As of 2008, the U.S. government enacted new laws that help you pay for quality rehab treatment at evidence based treatment centers in Illinois. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), is one such law. It balances the quality of your mental and behavioral health care benefits with the quality of your medical or surgical health care benefits. In other words, if you can expect a certain level of coverage for diabetes, asthma, or heart disease, you also can expect that same coverage for addiction treatment.

Several changes to these laws have occurred since 2008. These changes take place through amendments. But the fundamental rights of the MHPAEA still apply.

If you have an Aetna insurance policy, you likely have Aetna drug rehab coverage Illinois accepts. This is true whether you purchased your plan through your employment or another group program, or purchased through the individual market. Multiple agencies regulate these different types of plans. This leads to greater confusion when trying to find out if your Aetna drug rehab coverage in Illinois pays for rehab.

But do not worry, as at your fingertips is an easy method for finding out what your insurance covers. All you need to do is to call your chosen Aetna addiction rehab treatment centers can provide information about the Aetna drug rehab coverage Illinois can offer. You simply give the admissions counselor your policy number, name, and other information, and they research for you. With that one call, you gain the answers you need about using your Aetna drug rehab coverage to pay for treatment.

How Much of My Treatment Does My Aetna Drug Rehab Coverage Pay For?

You can feel confident that your Aetna drug rehab coverage pays for at least part of your treatment. That is true when you consider addiction treatment programs that accept Aetna insurance in the first place. Simply look for the Aetna logo on the treatment center’s website, to know whether they accept your policy. Or call your chosen rehab and ask if they are one of these Aetna addiction rehab treatment centers.

Your insurance may not cover your entire rehab experience. You need to find out what level of care your policy covers, and if that level of care fits your needs. These levels of care include Inpatient Drug Rehab, Intensive Outpatient Program, and Outpatient Treatment.

One thing to remember is that your insurance company wants you healthy. Being addicted to drugs or alcohol only costs them more in medical care, in the long run.

When you gain sobriety, you suffer fewer contagious illnesses like colds and the flu. You also decrease your chances of major diseases and death. So your treatment helps Aetna stay profitable.
