UnitedHealthcare & addiction treatment

What coverage may include

UnitedHealthcare offers plans that may include substance-use and mental-health benefits. Many plans include behavioral-health benefits, but covered services, medical-necessity criteria, authorization, exclusions, network rules, and member cost vary. Do not assume that every level of care or program is covered by a particular plan.

  • Detox
  • Residential
  • PHP
  • IOP
  • Outpatient

Covered services depend on medical necessity and your specific plan.

What will it cost?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your specific UnitedHealthcare plan — including deductible, copay or coinsurance, authorization, exclusions, and network. A benefits check can help estimate coverage but is not a guarantee of payment; confirm with both the plan and program.

Ask the program for a written estimate of what its amount covers. Coverage and member cost must be confirmed with both the plan and the program; a benefits check is not a guarantee of payment.
