The short answer is no. Oftentimes, treatment centers are not required to be in-network. However, this depends on someone’s plan. Some plans will require a steeper coinsurance percentage or any copays to see a provider out-of-network. In fact, some plans might not even cover out-of-network services. Therefore, it is best for someone to check with their provider to see what their current plan covers. 

Someone checking with their insurance representative about their coverage details will help them understand which treatment facilities they can use. They can better understand what the difference is between in-network and out-of-network health insurance.

Most health plans offer access to doctors, pharmacies, and facilities. Those that work with the insurance company are considered in-network. Out-of-network doctors, pharmacies, and facilities are outside of the specific provider network. This does not mean that nothing is covered if it is considered out-of-network. In fact, facilities out-of-network can still be covered. This provides someone with the assistance in paying for rehab facilities they need to start their life of sobriety. 

It’s advisable for someone to call the insurance representative today about their plan and what it may cover. Services under United Healthcare do not have to be in-network for it to be covered. If a person finds the right facility, especially within Launch Centers, we will help them find the most affordable treatment plan for them. We believe pricing should not be the reason someone doesn’t start addiction treatment.

UHC/Optum’s outpatient rehab coverage offers similar benefits to inpatient coverage at United Healthcare rehab facilities. In fact, one of the company’s lower plans, short-term coverage, may help to cover drug and alcohol rehabilitation. The short-term plan’s specific outpatient coverage involves 20% to 30% coinsurance after deductibles. Additionally, the plan also has a $3,000 policy term maximum for each covered person.

It is very beneficial for someone to check if their plan is able to cover outpatient programs. No matter what level of addiction someone may have, it is important to get treatments to help ease them into life again. UHC/Optum may be able to help them in getting the coverage necessary for any rehab facility, including ours. 

Launch Center offers the best services in our outpatient programs. In fact, if someone has gone through inpatient rehab, this is a recommended next step to take. Outpatient programs will help patients decrease any risk of relapse, even after inpatient treatment. Actually, temptations can still linger in the body and mind. So, it’s best to make sure they will be able to live a guaranteed life of sobriety.
