Does AmeriHealth Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?

AmeriHealth provides behavioral health benefits and access to providers who treat substance use disorders. However, the exact services and costs depend on the member’s health plan.

AmeriHealth tells members to review their benefits booklet to confirm which services are covered. Member cost-sharing can also vary according to the health insurance plan and where treatment is received.

For applicable Marketplace plans, mental health and substance use disorder services are essential health benefits. Federal parity protections also apply to many health insurance plans that provide mental health and substance use benefits.

This does not mean every treatment center or service is covered. AmeriHealth coverage must be evaluated according to the individual policy.

Recovery at the Crossroads and AmeriHealth

Recovery at the Crossroads is not an in-network AmeriHealth treatment facility. We are out-of-network. AmeriHealth explains that PPO members may use both in-network and out-of-network health care providers.

Because AmeriHealth plans differ, never assume that working with an insurance company means a provider participates in your network. Our admissions team can help you understand what information to request from AmeriHealth before beginning treatment.

Understanding Your AmeriHealth Insurance Benefits

There is no single answer to what AmeriHealth insurance will pay for drug rehab, alcohol treatment, or mental health care. AmeriHealth insurance plans can have different deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, networks, authorization requirements, and rules concerning medical necessity.

Your health insurance benefits may also vary based on whether you have individual, family, employer-sponsored, or other coverage. AmeriHealth currently offers health insurance plans for New Jersey individuals and families, employers, and Medicare members.

The details in your own policy determine your benefits.

How to Verify AmeriHealth Insurance Coverage

Before beginning addiction treatment, verify your specific AmeriHealth insurance benefits.

AmeriHealth recommends checking your benefits information and provides a Behavioral Health Care Navigation team for members seeking behavioral health care. You can also use the customer service information associated with your insurance plan.

Ask whether your plan includes benefits for:

  • Outpatient addiction treatment
  • Intensive outpatient care
  • Mental health treatment
  • Substance use disorders
  • Out-of-network behavioral health services
  • Group therapy and individual therapy

Also ask about deductibles, coinsurance, authorization, and other out of pocket expenses.

Insurance verification is not a guarantee that an insurance company will authorize treatment or pay a claim.

If you or someone you care about is feeling trapped in a cycle of addiction, there is hope. Recovery is possible with the right guidance, therapy, and treatment that addresses the whole person, not just the behavior.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment at Recovery at the Crossroads

Recovery at the Crossroads specializes in outpatient treatment for adults who can safely live at home while participating in structured care.

Our addiction treatment programs can include individual counseling, group therapy, psychiatric services, medication support when clinically appropriate, relapse-prevention work, and treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions.

Outpatient programs allow clients to practice recovery skills while remaining connected to work, family, school, and their communities. Whether AmeriHealth insurance provides applicable benefits for Recovery at the Crossroads’ outpatient services must be verified under your specific plan.

Intensive Outpatient Programs

Intensive outpatient treatment provides greater structure than routine weekly therapy without requiring a person to live at a treatment center.

Recovery at the Crossroads’ addiction treatment programming is designed to address the behavioral, emotional, and practical factors that can contribute to drug or alcohol use. Depending on individual needs, treatment may incorporate evidence based therapies, group counseling, individual therapy, psychiatric care, family support, and strategies for lasting recovery. This approach allows clients to receive meaningful support while continuing to live at home.

Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders

Addiction rarely exists in isolation. Some clients experience depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, or other mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders.

Recovery at the Crossroads provides integrated care for people experiencing both addiction and mental health concerns. Dual diagnosis treatment can address the relationship between symptoms rather than requiring clients to treat each concern as an unrelated problem.

AmeriHealth identifies substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other conditions among the areas addressed by its behavioral health network. Actual insurance coverage for a particular service still depends on the member’s AmeriHealth plan.

Call Recovery at the Crossroads at 888-342-3881 to speak with our admissions team about treatment and insurance verification. You may also confidentially verify your benefits online.

What Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

A dual diagnosis generally refers to experiencing a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time.

For example, someone seeking alcohol rehab may also be living with depression or trauma. Another person seeking drug rehab services may have anxiety or another psychiatric condition.

Recovery at the Crossroads’ whole person approach considers both addiction and mental health when developing individualized care. Treatment can incorporate behavioral therapies, psychiatric support, group counseling, EMDR, trauma-informed care, and other services according to clinical needs.

Mental Health IOP at Recovery at the Crossroads

Recovery at the Crossroads also provides a dedicated Mental Health IOP in Blackwood for those who need structured behavioral health services without hospitalization.

Services can include evaluations, medication monitoring, individual therapy, psychoeducation, group-based services, case management, and community linkage. This program is another reason it is important to verify AmeriHealth insurance carefully. Mental health benefits and substance use disorder benefits may involve different services, requirements, and out of pocket expenses.

Recovery at the Crossroads remains an out-of-network provider with AmeriHealth for these services.

Process and Behavioral Addictions

Recovery at the Crossroads also provides treatment for process and behavioral addictions, including gambling-related problems.

These concerns do not necessarily involve drugs or alcohol use, but they can still seriously affect relationships, finances, mental health, and daily functioning. Recovery at the Crossroads’ outpatient approach can incorporate individualized care, behavioral strategies, group support, dual diagnosis care, and family involvement when appropriate.

Insurance benefits for process addiction services can vary, so do not assume that coverage for substance use disorders automatically applies to every behavioral addiction.

Break free from addictive behaviors today. Hope and healing are possible.
