What Addiction Treatment Does BlueCross BlueShield of Wyoming Cover?

BlueCross BlueShield of Wyoming may be able to cover substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. Depending on your plan, BCBSWY insurance may cover at least part of the cost of:³

• Detox – In a professional detoxification program, the aim is to medically stabilize patients and limit withdrawal symptoms to ensure the patient’s safety.
• Residential or Inpatient Treatment – Residential or inpatient treatment is a live-in program where patients stay at the facility 24/7 and receive support from substance abuse professionals. In many cases, patients will participate in individual and/or group therapy sessions and treatment lengths will vary depending on a patient’s treatment needs.
• Outpatient Rehab – Although less intensive than inpatient or residential treatment, outpatient rehab provides therapeutic interventions to help a patient recover from a substance use disorder (SUD).
• Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) – As the name suggests, medications are an important aspect to MAT but behavioral treatment is another component to this form of treatment.

Always find out what your BCBS of Wyoming insurance plan will and will not cover for addiction treatment. You may find that you will have to travel outside of Wyoming to attend a rehab program that is right for you. This should not deter you from getting the help you need.

Does BCBS of Wyoming Cover Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment?

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming may cover co-occurring or dual diagnosis treatment under mental or behavioral health services. Depending on your level of coverage, mental health treatments may at least be partially covered.

A co-occurring disorder is when a person has one or more mental health conditions as well as a substance use disorder (SUD). Many rehab centers offer integrated treatment to ensure an individual’s unique needs are met. If you have BCBS of Wyoming, check the level of coverage you have for a co-occurring or dual diagnosis disorder.
