About private insurance

Private insurance means a plan from an employer or one you buy yourself, such as on the health insurance marketplace. Benefits vary by plan, but most cover some substance use treatment.

What private insurance 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 insurance card and ask whether the program is in network for substance use treatment, whether you need prior authorization, and what you'll pay a day. Then confirm with the program's admissions team.

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 private insurance 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.
