Understanding your Medicare benefits for addiction treatment.
Yes, Medicare provides coverage for substance abuse treatment and mental health services under most of their plans. As one of the largest health insurance providers in the United States, Medicare offers a range of plans that include behavioral health benefits.
Coverage through Medicare typically includes medical detoxification, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient treatment programs, medication-assisted treatment, and ongoing behavioral health counseling. The specific level of coverage depends on your individual plan, network status, and state regulations.
Many Medicare plans cover both in-network and out-of-network treatment facilities, though in-network options generally result in lower out-of-pocket costs. Our team can help you navigate Medicare's coverage options and find centers that accept your specific plan.
Verifying your insurance is the first step toward accessing treatment. You can verify your Medicare coverage by calling our team at (855) 489-3270. We'll contact Medicare on your behalf, explain your benefits, and help you understand your financial responsibility before starting treatment.
