How Cigna Policies Work for Addiction Treatment Centers

Many Cigna customers have medical insurance that may cover a portion of or the total cost of treatment at a drug and alcohol rehab center. Although coverage is largely based on the specifics of each client’s policy and the location, you may be able to use your Cigna medical insurance to supplement the cost of drug rehab.

The best way to find out how much your Cigna insurance will cover and how much will come out of your pocket is to verify your benefits with the rehab facilities admission team.

Does it Need to be In-Network?

Not all Cigna insurance plans require your treatment center to be in-network, meaning that the rehab facility that you have chosen, has negotiated a contracted rate with your health insurance company.

It is important to note, that using an out-of-network insurance provider, meaning the facility providing treatment services does not have a contract with your specific insurance company. This usually increases your chances of having to pay for a portion of your treatment with co-pays, or additional money out-of-pocket.

Some plans may not cover any out-of-network services, while others, such as Cigna, will cover certain portions after a deductible or coinsurance has been met.

About Coverage for Detoxification

When you or someone you love first enter a rehab facility for substance abuse and addiction, the first is intake, or a process called detoxification. This occurs to rid the body of the chosen substance and reduce symptoms of withdrawal. Depending on the type of addiction someone has, detox is usually the routine process before treatment begins. So, in the case where detox is necessary, you must be educated on Cigna’s insurance policy on drug and alcohol detox.

Depending on what type of Cigna policy you have chosen, a portion of the detox process is covered by insurance, just like treatment. As mentioned before, how much coverage you receive for treatment, highly depends on various factors including,  the plan chosen, the person, their needs, and the type of facility chosen.

Individuals who are covered by Cigna, and are specifically looking for facilities that specialize in detoxification, will most likely find a rehab facility without a problem. However, just to make it easier on yourself, the best way to find out which centers in your area are covered by your insurance and do the detox process, is to call your insurance provider. You can also call our specialists here at Sana Lake Recovery Center for assistance.

Cigna Covers Inpatient Treatment

For those seeking inpatient (residential) treatment, everyone’s needs are different, and therefore, each Cigna insurance policy does too, especially depending on where you live. During residential treatment, patients will live at their chosen facility and receive extensive therapy and support. Cigna does cover services and treatment at an inpatient rehab.

If your insurance policy covers your addiction treatment, it will do so regardless of the type of substance abuse problem. That means the policy should be able to help, whether you’ve been suffering from a dependence on opioid painkillers or an addiction to alcohol.

Costs and Services at Inpatient Rehab

It’s important not to let the costs of treatment deter you from getting the help you deserve. Therefore, it is important to mention, that there’s a wide range of alternative methods to help with addiction treatment expenses outside of what your insurance will cover. However, for those whose insurance policy is in-network, the types of treatment available depending on your location and other varying factors. The inpatient rehab services covered by Cigna include:

  • Acute Inpatient Substance and Drug Detoxification
  • Inpatient Treatment for Substance and Drug Disorders
  • Partial Hospitalization for Substance and Drug Disorders

For inpatient rehab, Cigna offers the following plans: Bronze, Silver, Platinum, and Gold. Here is a breakdown of the rough cost estimate for Inpatient Rehab with commonly used plans with Cigna:

Cigna’s Bronze plan gives people 0 percent coinsurance, meaning Cigna will pick up the costs after you pay your plan’s deductible in full. For out-of-network services, some plans will help cover costs while others may not.

Cigna’s Silver plan has coinsurance which usually is 30-50 percent after your deductible is met. Out-of-network services may or not be covered.

Cigna’s Gold plan has 20 to 50 percent coinsurance after the deductible is met. Similar to the other plans, providers may or may not be covered depending on the state the policy was issued.

Cigna’s Platinum plans have 10 to 30 percent coinsurance after meeting the deductible. Some plans may cover out-of-network programs at a higher coinsurance percentage.

Cigna Coverage for Mental Health Treatment

For those suffering from addiction and substance abuse, many people do not realize how much mental health plays a role. While mental health, in general, is the foundation of our health, there is an ongoing stigma surrounding it.

What affects our mind affects the body. Oftentimes, mental health disorders are found to be undiagnosed. Truth is, those who suffer from substance abuse often have a mental health disorder, and vice versa, people with a mental disorder resort to abusing drugs and alcohol as a way to cope. Some of the most common mental health disorders include:

Dual-Diagnosis

When someone has substance abuse issues in conjunction with a mental health disorder, this is known as dual-diagnosis or co-occurring disorder. As mentioned above, mental health disorders and substance abuse often occur simultaneously, and therefore must be treated together professionally.

Those who suffer from co-occurring disorders can find treatment options that will cater to their individual needs. Insurance plans should provide the same coverage for mental health, as they do so for physical health concerns.

Cigna can help to provide coverage for this treatment. But, again, it’s important to speak with our professional team to discuss the mental health coverage of your policy, as it is best to know what your options are so that the best resources are utilized to fit your specific needs.
