What will a Meritain health insurance member need to pay?
Meritain Health is one of the leading insurance providers in the country offering a wide range of policies. Each policy will have its own guidelines in how it covers drug and alcohol rehabilitation. This means that though most policies cover behavioral health and substance abuse rehabilitation, the type of coverage and to what extent the policy will cover, will vary.
Clients may be responsible for paying:
- Copays
- Deductibles
- Out-of-pocket maximums
- In-network costs
- Out-of-network costs
These terms may be completely foreign to someone navigating their own recovery. That is okay and is exactly why Hotel California by the Sea is here to help. We have trained experts in this field so that our clients can focus on their recovery instead of navigating insurance policies.
Finding the best care under Meritain Health
It is important for each individual struggling with substance abuse to find the best treatment facility for their rehabilitation. The cost-effectiveness of this treatment is an important factor when considering the overall benefits of getting treatment for your addiction.
What does Meritain health insurance typically cover?
Detox
Detox is the process of ridding and withholding the body from an addictive substance that an individual has become physically dependent on. Addictive substances can be various types of drugs or alcohol. This withdrawal process can be extremely uncomfortable for a client experiencing intense withdrawal symptoms such as tremors, anxiety and headaches. For the safety of the individual, this process should be facilitated in a professional medical environment.
Some of Meritain’s policies will cover detox when it is recommended as medically necessary by a medical professional.
Medication-Assisted Rehabilitation
Medication-assisted rehabilitation aims to help people with severe substance addiction to stave off cravings and prevent relapse. This method is most commonly used for those with opioid addictions or severe alcohol abuse. Because symptoms of substance abuse can become so intense, medications are often used to help with the pain management of recovery.
Meritain will help cover this treatment if it is recommended by the client’s primary care physician. There are copays and deductibles associated with covering the medication. Copays generally range from $15 for a generic brand, to 50% of the total cost for medications.
Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient residential refers to the area of treatment where a client lives at a residential treatment facility, where they can be cared for and monitored 24/7. This part of the program incorporates various therapy methods, daily medical assessments and group accountability to help reduce day-to-day triggers.
All of Meritain Health’s policies cover inpatient rehab, though each individual policy may vary on required authorization and the length of stay covered. Preauthorization is required so a client must see their primary physician before enrolling in a program if they decide to go through their Meritain insurance policy.
Outpatient Rehab
In outpatient rehab programs such as partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP), a client will have access to continued therapeutic treatments, with the option to return home at the end of the day. This option is great for clients that were successful in inpatient rehab or for client’s that may not need the level of care and accountability provided through inpatient services.
The majority of policies offered by Meritain will cover outpatient rehabilitation as a part of their integrated behavioral health services. There are often some out-of-pocket expenses associated with outpatient care that can include copays and deductibles. Most outpatient coverage does not require preauthorization from the client’s primary physician.
