Aetna Insurance

At a Kansas City Aetna-covered drug rehab facility, you can likely get detox services covered by your policy. Some policies will also cover medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction or alcoholism. 

In the event that you need medication-assisted treatment, you might have to go to your primary care physician to get a diagnosis of substance abuse and obtain a medical recommendation before your policy will cover the cost.

Aetna’s addiction treatment coverage extends to inpatient and outpatient services. After completing detox, your insurance policy will typically cover a residential program at an approved Aetna rehab center like Arista. With an inpatient program, you live at the facility for increments of 30 days. Anything that isn’t covered by your policy will still have to be covered out-of-pocket, which might include things like the cost of meals or specific holistic treatments.

You can also use your Kansas City Aetna substance abuse treatment coverage for outpatient programs. Aetna will cover some or all of an outpatient program, depending on your policy. Outpatient programs will typically last several months and are more affordable and, therefore, more likely to be covered because you don’t have to live at the rehab center.

Medications are usually covered, if not in their entirety, to a substantial degree by your Aetna insurance policy. Any required medication, either over the counter or prescription for your detox or ongoing symptom management, is subject to whatever restrictions are associated with your policy. 

For example: 

If you reach out to Arista and want to start Aetna addiction treatment, our staff will review your specific policy and help you review what is covered. We might develop a plan that includes initial prescription and over-the-counter medication for your detox and to manage ongoing symptoms of things like depression. If your policy states that you can only get free medications if they are generic brands, that might be something we can work with, but if your policy states that there is a minimum copay, you might have to cover the copays out of pocket, but then all the rest of your medications are covered.

This is all heavily based on the exact policy you have with Aetna and what your coverage is. Figuring this out can be very tricky, which is why our team can help you go over your needs and what needs are covered.
