Insurance coverage for addiction treatment has improved significantly due to parity laws. Most plans cover outpatient counseling, intensive outpatient programs, and residential treatment when medically necessary. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with buprenorphine or naltrexone is covered as a pharmacy benefit. Verify your plan covers the specific level of care recommended and whether the provider is in-network. Prior authorization is common for residential treatment. If coverage is denied, appeal the decision, as parity law violations are common and often overturned on appeal.
