Does First Health Insurance Cover Drug or Alcohol Rehab?

If you or someone close to you is seeking rehab treatment for drug or alcohol addiction, one of the major concerns you may face is financing this essential service. It’s important to understand that most health insurance policies do offer some level of coverage for substance use treatment; however, the specifics can vary significantly depending on the state you reside in, as well as the details of your individual health insurance plan.

Different insurance providers have their own guidelines regarding what types of treatment are included, which can range from outpatient therapy sessions to inpatient rehab programs. Some plans might offer a broader array of treatment options, including detoxification services, counseling, and support groups, while others may be more limited. It’s crucial to review the benefits provided by your insurance company carefully, as well as any potential out-of-pocket expenses like deductibles and copayments. Understanding these nuances can help you navigate the financial aspect of getting the necessary help for addiction effectively.

How to Check Your First Health Insurance Benefits

To gain a clear understanding of the addiction coverage available to you through First Health, the most effective step is to call the phone number located on the back of your insurance card. Speaking directly with a specialist in their customer service department can be immensely helpful, as they can provide tailored insights into your specific plan and the benefits it includes for addiction treatment.

Additionally, you have the option to visit the First Health website and log in to your member portal. This online resource offers a wealth of information regarding your insurance coverage, allowing you to explore the specifics of your benefits related to addiction treatment.

Your designated representative at First Health serves as a vital resource for obtaining detailed information about your unique healthcare benefits and how they apply to addiction treatment options. Whether you are considering inpatient rehab programs that provide 24/7 support or outpatient services that allow for more flexibility in your daily life, your First Health representative can address any questions you have regarding treatment options and the extent of your potential coverage.

It’s important to keep in mind that while your healthcare plan may include provisions for addiction treatment, there is no guarantee that First Health will authorize coverage for a particular treatment program. Each request for treatment may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine eligibility and appropriateness based on your specific circumstances.

How do you check what type of healthcare coverage you have?

First Health Coverage Levels and Coverage Plans

Patient and healthcare provider discussing insurance coverage and addiction treatment options

As a major health insurance provider, First Health may cover the usual treatment options offered by most major health insurance plans. Many insurance plans cover such services on an inpatient or outpatient level of care, depending on the specific needs of the person. However, while your insurance company may cover certain addiction treatment, this doesn’t mean you will qualify to receive all of these covered benefits. Typically, you also have to have your case reviewed by an insurance specialist who will determine if you meet the criteria for the coverage.

First Health insurance coverage has different plans with various levels including PPO plans. Some of these plans may cover more of the out-of-pocket cost of drug treatment. You need to contact First Health to determine the benefits provided in your coverage plan.

Typically, most insurance plans have a network of providers that provide specific levels of health insurance coverage. At times, these networks can be dependent on a certain geographic location. For example, if you live in Florida,  your plan may only cover treatment providers in that state. If you choose to seek treatment in another state, First Health may not cover the costs. In some cases, there may be situations in which an out-of-network provider can provide addiction treatment, though the coverage may be more expensive.
