Does United Healthcare Cover Treatment for a substance use disorder?
Yes, in-network treatment providers with United Health Care will give you the opportunity to receive addiction treatment and mental health care services. If you are a United Health Care member and you hold a health benefits plan with them, you can use it towards addiction treatment services.
United Behavioral Health plans through United Healthcare will cover evidence-based and medically necessary addiction services.
That includes:
- Alcohol and drug detoxification programs
- Medication treatment therapy programs
- Inpatient and residential treatment programs
- Day programs, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient programs
Each level of care will rely on the clinical acuity of the presenting problem.
Detoxification
Detoxification or “detox” is a medically supervised aspect of coming off drugs and or alcohol. Withdrawal is typically monitored to avoid severe and adverse reactions.
Your United Behavioral health plan may cover detoxification services such as symptom management, monitoring and care, intravenous hydration, medication, and other additional services. Some drugs require a detox for the safest withdrawal, for example, benzodiazepines. Withdrawal from benzos can result in seizures, coma or in severe cases, death.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
Medication-assisted treatment programs have been known to be very successful for addiction treatment. United Behavioral health plans can cover medication treatments for:
- Opioid use disorder
- Alcohol use disorder
The covered services often include medication appointments, behavioral treatment, medication checks, drug screenings, and the medication itself.
Inpatient Services and Residential Treatment
United Behavioral Health covers evidence-based inpatient and residential addiction treatment programs. In order to be covered the program must be:
- Evidence-based, or scientifically proven
- Medically necessary for your addiction or substance use disorder
Coverage for Inpatient Rehab
- Behavioral treatments including cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Counseling to address social and personal problems around addiction
- Medication-assisted treatment for some situations including alcohol addiction or opioid abuse
- Group therapy for social support and recovery skill-building
Day Programs, Intensive Outpatient Programs, and Outpatient Programs
United Behavioral Health covers Day programs, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient programs.
An individual will often start their journey through recovery at the level they feel comfortable, while meeting clinical criteria. If someone fails at a lower level of care they will be screened for admission to a higher level of care.
Similarly, if an individual starts at the highest level of care, they will “step down” to lower levels based on their success with clinical milestones and achievements.
United Healthcare Services and Benefits
United Healthcare is the world’s largest healthcare insurance company. United Behavioral Health is the subsidiary of United Healthcare Insurance Company. If you are covered by a long-term UnitedHealthcare plan, such as UHC Select, Select Plus, or Choice, then you should have access to United Behavioral Health. This includes addiction, and mental health services.
United Behavioral Health handles most assessments and referrals for medical and behavioral health disorders, including substance use disorder treatment. It is best to contact your insurance provider if you have specific questions regarding your individual health plan.
Addiction and Mental Health
Often, a person suffering from an addiction or a substance use disorder, will also have co-occurring mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns. A counselor can help to discuss these concerns and offer prevention strategies, tools and answers to avoid further concerns.
It may be difficult to discuss your mental health with someone you do not know. Families may feel more comfortable speaking with a mental health support staff member to address these concerns. Keep in mind, at Turning Point of Tampa we have compassionate and effective staff who can offer support and guidance.
Does United Healthcare Cover Mental Health Services?
Some mental health services including anxiety, depression, and other clinical issues for adults are covered. A focus on mental health and addiction often coincide, and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) was put into effect to ensure those suffering from both are treated fairly.
Insurance coverage for mental health care services depends on your health plan benefits. You can sign in to your health plan account or contact the phone number on your member ID card to determine if you may be eligible for specific mental health care services. You should have access to resources and the support site online.
