HealthComp Insurance (now Personify Health) is a third-party administrator (TPA) company that partners with insurance providers and employers around the world to make accessing and understanding healthcare easier. As long as your chosen insurer through HealthComp offers mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) coverage, then drug rehab should be covered.
Under the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA), insurance providers must cover SUDs and mental healthcare at the same rates they cover medical and surgical care.
In other words, if you need addiction treatment for drug or alcohol use that requires hospitalization, your coverage and out-of-pocket expenses should match what they would be if you were hospitalized for any other illness or surgical need.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2008 (ACA) requires insurance plans sold through the Healthcare Marketplace to cover ten essential health benefits (EHB), which include mental health/SUD treatment. These policies must also cover pre-existing conditions, and they cannot penalize you for having a pre-existing condition or place limits on the care you can receive for mental health or rehabilitative services.
With a TPA like HealthComp, you should be able to manage most of your benefits from one account. You can log in to see your Explanation of Benefits (EOB), which should tell you what percentages of treatment are paid by your policy. That will give you an idea of HealthComp drug rehab coverage for you or your loved ones, and you can use that information when you contact treatment programs.
Specifics about inpatient and outpatient rehab centers in your HealthComp network should be listed in the provider directory. A search of the directory gives you the contact information for each facility, and you can reach out to them directly to verify that they accept your insurance and what they charge for treatment.
HealthComp also provides incentives for you to complete certain activities with an evidence-based approach. You and your family members may be able to use these as guidance for treatment options and long-term recovery.
If this seems overwhelming, RehabNet is here to help. We can verify your insurance coverage and whether a facility accepts your plan. We can also explain what costs will be paid by your plan and what you might expect to pay out-of-pocket.
