How Do I Use This Plan to Pay for Rehab?
Paying for mental health and substance abuse services can be a little confusing, especially if you aren’t familiar with how your plan works.
You’ll likely need to see a provider that’s in-network or you will have higher out-of-pocket costs or your services will not be covered. In-network means that the provider has a pre-arranged agreement with Health Plan of Nevada. Out-of-network is any provider that doesn’t have predetermined arrangements with Health Plan of Nevada.2
Even when you see an in-network provider, you will usually be charged a fee when you receive care. Often, you will need to pay a copay or coinsurance when you use inpatient services or visit an outpatient provider. A copay is a fixed amount you pay for a covered healthcare service. You may have to pay it before or after you meet the deductible. Coinsurance is a percentage of the cost you pay for a covered service before or after you’ve met the deductible. A deductible is an amount you must pay out of pocket before your insurance company will begin to cover services.3,4,5
In some cases, you’ll also need prior authorization from Health Plan of Nevada either before you enter treatment or soon after you’re admitted. Prior authorization is when the insurance company determines that care is medically necessary.6
