Oxford Treatment Center CampusYes, Cigna offers health insurance coverage for rehab. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), all long-term insurance plans are required to provide at least some coverage for 10 essential health benefits.3 One of these required benefits is mental health and substance use treatment.3

Which Types of Addiction Treatment Are Covered by Cigna?

There are many types of addiction treatment covered by Cigna. Depending on your plan, some or all of the following types may be covered:5,6

  • Detox. While detox is not a treatment in itself, it’s commonly necessary before you can begin treatment. During this process, you’ll be monitored by medical staff as the drugs leave your system and your body adjusts to life without substances.
  • Inpatient Treatment. During inpatient treatment, you live full-time at the facility. This frees you from your usual routines and lets you create new habits that allow you to live without substance use. Inpatient treatment generally includes individual and group therapy, recreation activities, and more.
  • Outpatient Treatment. Outpatient treatment allows you to live at home while you attend treatment several times a week. As a result, patients can continue to work or attend school while also recovering from substance use. Outpatient treatment is less intensive than inpatient and can be a transitional program for those that have graduated from inpatient treatment.
  • Aftercare. Once you’ve completed treatment, it’s important to maintain your new habits and stay clean so you can enjoy a happy, healthy life. Aftercare programs give you the support you need to maintain your new choices as you transition back to daily life.

Benefits of Using Cigna to Pay for Rehab

The benefit of using Cigna to pay for drug and alcohol rehab in Mississippi is that the insurance plan can cover some or all of the costs of treatment. This makes treatment more accessible and allows you to get the help you need to live a substance-free life.

Any treatment costs you may be responsible for will depend on your plan benefits and can include the following:7

  • Deductible: The set amount you pay for covered medical expenses before the insurance begins sharing the cost.
  • Coinsurance: The determined percentage of covered medical expenses you pay after your deductible is met. Your insurance plan pays the rest. Some Cigna plans offering rehab coverage in Mississippi have a 0% coinsurance for substance use treatment, meaning your plan pays 100% of the costs after you meet the deductible.
  • Copays: Certain plans have fixed amounts you pay for doctor visits, other medical services, and prescriptions.

To keep your costs as low as possible, it is important to use a provider that is in-network with Cigna. Fortunately, Oxford Treatment Center is not only a rehab that takes Cigna, but it is an in-network provider with Cigna.
