AmeriHealth offers insurance coverage for drug addiction and alcohol abuse. However, not all plans cover both detoxification and rehabilitation. The level of coverage varies based on your policy. Contact AmeriHealth directly by calling the number on the back of your insurance card to learn what coverage your plan offers.

Does AmeriHealth Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

Yes. Federal law requires all insurance providers to cover drug rehab treatment to some extent. AmeriHealth may cover:

• Screening
• Inpatient treatment
• Outpatient treatment
• Extended care programming
• You may be allocated up to 30 outpatient visits per year.
• Residential treatment windows range from five to 30 days.

Medication-Assisted Treatment: Does American Family Cover Suboxone & Methadone?

Another common type of substance abuse treatment is medication-assisted treatment (MAT). This combines counseling and behavioral therapies with the use of medication to treat substance use disorders. Suboxone is usually covered at least in part by AmeriHealth insurance, but coverage varies by state. Your AmeriHealth plan may cover methadone treatment if it is prescribed as a medically necessary MAT.

AmeriHealth Mental Health & Behavioral Health Coverage

AmeriHealth behavioral and mental health services are provided through a managed care organization that is based in the member’s county of residence. As with substance use disorders, insurance companies are required to provide coverage for mental health disorder treatment. Both co-occurring disorder treatment and stand-alone mental health treatment fall under this law.

Behavioral health resources available through AmeriHealth include:

• Customer care advocates
• Behavioral health case managers
• Telebehavioral health services

Addiction treatment also falls under behavioral health coverage. The percentage of rehab treatment costs that are covered by insurance varies by plan.
