What Private insurance covers
83%of Ohio programs
Plans sold on HealthCare.gov and state marketplaces, and most small-employer plans, must cover mental health and substance use disorder services as an essential health benefit.
The federal parity law (Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, 2008) says that when a plan covers addiction treatment, its copays, visit limits and prior authorization rules cannot be stricter than for comparable medical care.
Before admission, put the quote through the cost calculator with your deductible and coinsurance. 97 residential programs here take private insurance. If your coverage is through Medicare, see Medicare and rehab instead.
Programs by level of care
Of the 623 programs, 94 offer detox, 97 residential care, 587 outpatient care and 254 medication for opioid use disorder.

Questions to ask before you go
What is my in-network deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum for residential treatment?
Ask how much of each you have already used this year.Is prior authorization needed, and who requests it?
Programs that take insurance usually request it for you.Is there a limit on days per year?
And what is the process to get more days if the program recommends them.Which addiction medications are on my formulary?
Buprenorphine-naloxone, naltrexone and methadone, and at what tier.What if no in-network program near me can treat me?
Ask about a network exception, which lets you pay in-network rates out of network.
If your insurer says no
Ask for the reason in writing.
And for the medical necessity criteria the plan used; plans must provide them on request.File an internal appeal within 180 days.
If you are in treatment or waiting would harm your health, ask for an urgent appeal, decided within 72 hours. Many programs write the clinical part for you.Ask for an external review.
