Regardless of how long you've been addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, it's wonderful that you've made the decision to go to drug rehab. If you have Cigna health insurance, you might be wondering if treatment at a drug rehab facility is covered by your medical insurance policy. Fortunately, it is covered. Not only should you be able to obtain the substance abuse treatment you need when you need it, but medical insurance companies like Cigna are required to provide benefits for alcohol and drug rehabilitation by The Affordable Health Care Act.

Does Cigna Offer Coverage for Your Drug or Alcohol Treatment Fully?

Cigna offers different policies with various benefits for drug rehab, and you need to know if your Cigna policy will completely cover your drug treatment. Talking with an addiction specialist can help you with this. He or she can talk with you in detail about your addiction in order to determine the type of drug treatment you need. Once that's complete, your addiction specialist will contact Cigna directly to discuss drug rehab and your options.

Out of Network vs. In Network Coverage for Addiction Treatment

The terms out of network and in network can sometimes be confusing medical insurance terms. You may have heard these and wondered what the difference was.

If your health insurance is out of network for an addiction treatment program, they do not have a contract with that facility. You may still opt to go to that drug or alcohol treatment center for treatment. However, you will have to pay out of pocket and get reimbursement later on. Generally, the health insurance reimbursement rates are quite low. This means you'll ultimately be paying a lot more out of pocket.

When you opt for an in-network alcohol treatment or drug treatment facility, it's much more affordable. The facility will bill the insurance company directly because they have a contract. You may have to pay a small amount as a copayment, or co-insurance amount, but it will be minimal. Most people agree that it's much better to choose a program where your insurance is in network. That way, you don't have to worry about reimbursement at all.

Types of Addiction Treatment Covered by Cigna Health Insurance

You will be happy to know that all types of drug rehab are covered under Cigna medical insurance.

Patients often wonder if they choose an in-network drug rehab or alcohol rehab if these and other medications will be covered. The answer is yes.
