The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires Anthem drug rehab coverage for addiction and mental health treatment.

Does Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Cover Addiction Treatment?
Yes. Legally, insurance companies must cover addiction treatment for people diagnosed with substance use disorders. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield covers addiction treatment programs and recovery support services, including therapy and care at residential rehab centers. Most people need pre-authorization to ensure the medical necessity of professional addiction treatment before insurance will cover it.
In-Network vs. Out-of-Network Rehab Coverage
Healthcare providers will either be in-network or out-of-network. The cost varies significantly between the two types of providers. In-network providers generally have lower out-of-pocket costs. Out-of-network providers may have higher out-of-pocket costs and less comprehensive coverage. Call us today to learn more about your treatment options and other types of insurance coverage, such as preferred provider organization (PPO) or health maintenance organization (HMO) plans.
Understanding Deductibles, Co-pays, and Out-of-Pocket Costs
Your health benefits may include out-of-pocket fees for substance abuse treatment, such as a deductible, co-payment, or coinsurance due at the time of service. A deductible is the amount you must pay toward your treatment before insurance takes over. Co-payments and coinsurance are set amounts due for specific services. Most insurance providers have an out-of-pocket max, and once you have paid that amount, the rest of your care for the year is covered 100% by your plan.
Our admissions team works directly with you to make the insurance verification process simple and easy to understand. We accept a variety of Anthem insurance plans, including Anthem Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. You should have your insurance card or member information available for verification purposes when you call to sign up for our services or to inquire about the insurance plans we accept.
Levels of Care Covered by Anthem for Addiction Treatment
Anthem BCBS helps people recover from alcohol, prescription drug, opioid, and other substance addictions by covering multiple levels of care. Our treatment facility provides quality care and multiple treatment options, including inpatient and outpatient programs, that your insurance may cover in full or in part.
Residential Treatment and Inpatient Rehab
Our inpatient programs offer security and comfort in a controlled environment. We utilize 12-Step immersion and other services to ensure a smooth transition to outpatient care. The type of treatment we offer in residential rehab includes psychotherapy (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy, family therapy, etc.), psychiatric support, and holistic therapies.
Outpatient Treatment and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
Our intensive outpatient program is effective if the step-down care we offer provides flexibility and continued structure as clients reintegrate into the community. IOP generally involves 20 or more hours of group, individual, family, and holistic therapies, along with other forms of treatment. We provide you with the tools to successfully manage addiction or mental health issues in the real world, reducing your risk of relapse.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
Some people need additional accountability throughout the week to maintain sobriety. Partial hospitalization programs build resilience and support ongoing recovery by incorporating additional therapy sessions and skill-building into treatment plans.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (When Clinically Appropriate)
We use medication-assisted treatment to help people manage symptoms of withdrawal when necessary. As a trusted healthcare provider, we offer a range of rehab treatment options, including short-term MAT to improve treatment outcomes. We do not provide long-term MAT or Suboxone.
Aftercare and Long-Term Recovery Support
Ongoing recovery support and aftercare services give you the tools to overcome challenges after completing residential or outpatient rehabilitation programs. We offer alumni services, including monthly phone check-ins, an inclusive sober community, and 12-Step meetings. Long-term support promotes overall wellness and reduces the risk of relapse.
Sober Living and Transitional Housing After Rehab
Alumni can take advantage of our transitional living program, which offers structured, ongoing accountability and 12-Step-based housing. We have gender-specific homes that frequently play a role in long-term recovery for people in aftercare.
Transitional living is different from a halfway house and provides additional support, resources, and personalization. Most halfway houses are government-run and operated to accommodate court orders. Private sober living programs, such as those at New Found Life, offer greater flexibility and peer support.
You can choose the housing that best fits your needs and recovery goals. Some insurance providers may cover sober living programs depending on your plan. Our clinical team works closely with clients and their loved ones to create a tailored aftercare plan that may include a temporary stay in a transitional living setting.
When to Seek Help for Substance Abuse or Mental Health
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with SUD, mental health issues, or shows signs of potential addiction, we can help. Some people hesitate to seek treatment because they do not recognize the dangers of addictive behaviors.
Some potential warning signs of addiction or mental health issues include:
- Experiencing a loss of control
- Social withdrawal and isolation
- Mental health decline
- Mood swings and emotional dysregulation
- Abusing substances despite a negative impact on family or work responsibilities
- Withdrawal symptoms, such as cravings
Early intervention and treatment often result in better outcomes. You do not have to struggle with the effects of addiction or mental health disorders on your own. We are here to help you heal and build a happier future.
FAQs
How do I verify my Anthem insurance coverage for rehab?
You can verify your insurance using multiple tools, including your insurance company’s online client portal on its official website or by contacting them by phone. Your insurance card should have details about your plan and provide both a number and the website where you can find additional coverage information.
Our intake specialists can also collect your insurance information online or over the phone and use it to check your plan and coverage eligibility. New Found Life can confirm if your specific plan covers residential or outpatient rehab programs and if you will have any associated out-of-pocket expenses.
What are typical out-of-pocket costs with Anthem rehab coverage?
The type of Anthem plan you have will determine how much you may have to pay before insurance begins to cover 100% of the expenses. For example, depending on whether you have a gold, platinum, or silver Anthem BCBS insurance plan, you may have to pay $1,500 to $5,000 or more before reaching the out-of-pocket maximum.
Most plans require prior authorization and either a deductible, a copay, or a coinsurance percentage. Outpatient services, such as aftercare therapy, may have a per-visit co-pay until you reach the out-of-pocket maximum. In addition to outpatient therapy, you may also have to pay up to $7,000 of deductibles before meeting some of the higher plan costs.
Can my loved one use Anthem insurance for residential treatment?
Yes, Anthem insurance does cover residential insurance, although it usually requires pre-authorization and continued clinical monitoring to ensure medical necessity. Your loved ones can use their Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance to pay for a continuum of care at New Found Life.
Families often play a vital role in the recovery process. Many family members choose to participate in rehabilitation to help their loved one feel more comfortable making healthy lifestyle changes. We offer Family therapy and other forms of support, often covered in full or in part by insurance.
Does Anthem cover dual diagnosis and mental health treatment?
Yes. Anthem BCBS, like any other insurance company, has a legal obligation to cover mental health and addiction recovery treatment. Most plans either cover all levels of care deemed medically necessary or have a reasonable co-pay, including medical detox, group therapy, residential care, and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs).
Is New Found Life an in-network provider with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield?
We may be an in-network provider, depending on your specific Anthem BCBS plan. Your insurance provider can confirm our network status, or you can contact us, and we will help you determine Anthem coverage details. Our intake specialists make checking your insurance policy quick and simple.
How long does Anthem cover inpatient rehab?
Anthem drug rehab coverage varies depending on your medical needs and response to treatment services. Our treatment center personalizes care plans to ensure the length of stay is sufficient to stabilize clients and set them up for lasting success. Inpatient treatment coverage under Anthem may extend for 3 to 6 months.
What happens after rehab is completed?
Once you complete treatment, we provide alumni services and long-term support, including monthly phone check-ins, community events, referrals to local support groups or other resources, and volunteer opportunities. We have created a sober community where alumni can support others seeking lasting recovery from SUD. Health insurance providers, including Anthem BCBS, will continue to support your recovery journey after you transition out of our programs by covering ongoing evidence-based therapy for co-occurring mental health disorders.
