About UnitedHealthcare

UnitedHealthcare sells employer and Medicare Advantage plans, marketplace plans in some states, and Medicaid as UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Its behavioral health network is usually run by Optum.

What UnitedHealthcare usually covers, by level of care

Levels of care

Addiction treatment runs from detox and residential care, where you stay at the program, to PHP, IOP and outpatient counseling, where you live at home. Medication for addiction (MAT) can go with any of them. See IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care.

Call the number on your UnitedHealthcare card (behavioral health is often managed by Optum) and ask whether the program is in network, then confirm with the program.

Call a program and ask

Call the program and ask them to verify your benefits; it's free and takes a few minutes.

Do you accept UnitedHealthcare for substance use treatment, and for which levels of care?
Are you in network for my exact plan, and is prior authorization needed?
What would I pay a day or a week, and when is the next opening for an assessment?

Call the program yourself: Find Care doesn't take your insurance details, collect your name or pass anything to a program for you. This is general information, not a guarantee of coverage. What your plan pays depends on your plan, your state, whether the program is in network, and whether your plan decides the care is medically necessary. Call the number on your card, then the program, before you start.
