Does AmeriHealth Health Insurance Cover Detox and Rehab?

Welcome to
Beach House Center for Recovery
AmeriHealth drug rehab

If you’re ready to begin recovery from drug or alcohol addiction and have an AmeriHealth insurance plan, Beach House Center for Recovery is ready to help.

Our admissions counselors are ready to help you understand your benefits and verify your eligibility for detox and rehab services.

Understanding AmeriHealth Coverage for Addiction Treatment

AmeriHealth has several plans that may include benefits for behavioral health and substance use treatment (e.g., HMOs, PPOs, and POSs).

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary services. However, the level of coverage depends on your plan type, network, and whether prior authorization is required.

For example, some plans may fully cover inpatient detox services, while others may only cover outpatient therapy or require step-down care.

What Does AmeriHealth Insurance Cover for Rehab and Detox?

While coverage varies based on your specific policy, many plans include services that support recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Here is an overview of the types of services they may cover:

  • Medical detox services (24/7 supervision and withdrawal management).
  • Residential/inpatient treatment (up to 30 days).
  • Partial hospitalization (PHP).
  • Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs).
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
  • Individual and group therapy.
  • Dual diagnosis treatment.
  • Aftercare and relapse prevention.

Note: While these services are commonly included, your specific benefits may differ. Be sure to review your benefits carefully.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Drug Rehab Coverage With AmeriHealth

Depending on your AmeriHealth plan, you may be eligible for up to 30 days of residential treatment or 5 to 30 outpatient visits per calendar year.

Inpatient care is often recommended for those with severe addiction or co-occurring mental health disorders. Outpatient care is more flexible and may suit those with milder symptoms or strong support systems.

Limitations of AmeriHealth Rehab Coverage

While AmeriHealth may offer broad coverage for addiction treatment, there are a few limitations, such as:

  • Prior authorization may be required for some services.
  • Coverage limits may apply (e.g., number of days or visits per calendar year).
  • Out-of-network care may result in higher out-of-pocket costs.
  • Not all plans cover the same services.
