Humana Health Insurance Coverage for Rehab Treatment

Does Humana Insurance Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

Humana is one of the country’s leading health insurance providers, and many Humana members are covered for substance use disorder treatment. At American Addiction Centers, we work with Humana to help members get the care they need with as little financial stress as possible.

Humana’s behavioral health benefits reflect a commitment to treating addiction as the medical condition it is. Whether you have a Humana individual plan, an employer-sponsored plan, or a Humana Advantage plan, coverage for addiction treatment may be available to you.

What Types of Addiction Treatment Does Humana Cover?

Each insurance plan is slightly different in terms of coverage, as well as in-network versus out-of-network variables. However, the various types of addiction treatment your Humana plan may cover include:

• Detox. A medically managed detox program helps you rid your body of substances safely and as comfortably as possible while under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
• Inpatient treatment. Inpatient treatment for drug and/or alcohol addiction involves living within a treatment facility and receiving supervised and highly structured 24/7 care.
• Outpatient programs. With outpatient treatment, patients live at home and attend scheduled meetings and counseling at a treatment facility.

Humana individual and marketplace plans are required under the ACA to cover substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit. Employer-sponsored Humana plans must comply with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, ensuring coverage parity with medical and surgical services.

How to Use Humana Insurance for Substance Use Treatment

Humana insurance coverage typically expands across substance use and behavioral health treatment coverage as an add-on if it isn’t specifically covered in the plan already.

Treatment generally starts with a visit to the primary care physician (PCP), who can then seek authorization to refer an individual to a substance use treatment provider. More than 5 million members are covered under Humana Behavioral Health programs.

How Much Does Rehab Cost with Humana Insurance?

Out-of-pocket costs when using Humana insurance for rehab depend on many factors. The extent of Humana’s addiction treatment coverage may vary based on:

• Plan type, e.g., preferred provider organization (PPO), health maintenance organization (HMO), etc.
• Length of stay.
• Type of treatment.
• Detox process required, if any (i.e., hospital-based versus non-medical detox).
• Medical necessity.
• The state in which you live.
• In-network versus out-of-network providers.
