Will Your Loved Ones Health Insurance Pay For Addiction Treatment?

Yes, if your loved one has health insurance that covers the cost of substance use disorder treatment and you arrange for treatment at a facility that accepts that insurance. However, determining insurance coverage is a very important step that should not be overlooked when planning to get your loved one into treatment. Some insurance plans only cover certain levels of care. The Marchman Act does not make or prevent your insurance company from paying for treatment, however every insurance company and treatment center is different. Your decision around which treatment center to arrange for your loved one should be made once you have considered the insurance coverage available, including any deductible and out of pocket expenses. However, it is at least equally important to consider the quality of care and therapeutic value your loved one will receive at the facility you arrange. Navigating these decisions can definitely feel overwhelming if you are not familiar with the addiction treatment industry. A Marchman Act attorney with experience working in behavioral healthcare will be able to provide you with insight, information, and direction to help you arrange for a quality substance use treatment facility to care for your loved one while also considering available insurance benefits.
