Beach House Center for Recovery Accepts Cigna Insurance

Does Cigna cover detox and rehab? Substance use disorder is recognized as a medical condition. For this reason, Cigna covers a significant portion of treatment for patients across the U.S. (e.g., Washington, Ohio, Virginia, Delaware, and California).

Cigna addiction treatment coverage includes:

  • Inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation.
  • Medically supervised detox.
  • Addiction treatment.
  • Drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
  • Aftercare services.

Additionally, under the Affordable Care Act, addiction is no longer considered a pre-existing medical condition. This means individuals can seek treatment without fear of premium increases.

Cigna Rehab Cost Coverage and Limits

The exact amount Cigna will cover depends on your plan. Some patients may have little to no out-of-pocket costs, while others may have a deductible or copay.

Our admissions team can quickly verify your benefits and explain what’s covered, so there aren’t any surprises.
