Ambetter is a health insurance company that started offering ACA compliant insurance plans in 2014. They’re owned by Centene Corporation. Their geographical span is nearly nationwide with plans available in 29 states and they serve more than four million members.
The company primarily offers individual and family plans on the Insurance Marketplace of each state they operate in. They can also help employers set up an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) to provide employees with health coverage.
Beyond regular health insurance plans Ambetter also offers dental and vision insurance in most states.
Does Ambetter Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?
All of Ambetter’s health insurance plans are offered on the Insurance Marketplace so they all cover the 10 essential health benefits required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). That list of essential benefits includes mental health and addiction treatment.
However, every plan is different in terms of how much coverage you have and what requirements you need to meet. For example you might need to get a referral or preauthorization before insurance coverage is approved.
The provider networks and level of coverage vary state by state but they make it easy for you to check their coverage for yourself even before you sign up. If you are considering an Ambetter plan you can get the details of the plan from the state Marketplace before you enroll. If you’re already a member you can review your insurance by visiting their website and logging into your account.
