Carelon Behavioral offers a range of insurance plans designed to help cover the cost of addiction treatment services, making high-quality care more accessible to those in need. By understanding these plans and their benefits, you can make informed decisions about your treatment options.

Understanding Carelon Behavioral Plans

Carelon Behavioral offers several types of insurance plans, each with different levels of benefits and coverage. Here are the primary types of plans they offer:

• Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): PPO plans provide a network of preferred healthcare providers, including treatment centers. However, they also offer the flexibility to seek services outside the network, often at a higher out-of-pocket cost.
• Point of Service (POS): POS plans require a primary care physician to manage the patient’s care and make referrals. They combine features of HMO and PPO plans, offering lower costs for in-network care while still providing some out-of-network benefits.
• Health Maintenance Organization (HMO): HMO plans have a more limited network of providers and typically require members to choose a primary care physician who coordinates their care. These plans usually cover in-network services only, except in emergencies.
• Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO): EPO plans offer coverage exclusively through a network of providers, without the need for referrals. Out-of-network care is generally not covered, except in emergencies.

Typical Coverage for Substance Abuse Treatment

Carelon Behavioral plans typically cover a range of services related to substance abuse treatment. Here’s an overview of what might be included:

• Detoxification Services: Detox is often the first step in addiction treatment, where the body is cleansed of substances. Many Carelon Behavioral plans cover medical detox services either partially or fully, depending on the specifics of your policy.
• Inpatient Rehabilitation: Inpatient rehab offers comprehensive, 24-hour care in a controlled environment. This type of treatment is vital for those needing a structured and supportive setting. Coverage for inpatient services varies, with some plans covering a substantial portion of the costs.
• Outpatient Programs: For those who require flexibility, outpatient programs provide treatment services while allowing individuals to maintain their daily routines. Coverage for outpatient care can include a range of services like therapy sessions, group counseling, and medication management.
• Therapy and Counseling: Individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy sessions are integral parts of the recovery process. Most Carelon Behavioral plans will cover these services to an extent, ensuring comprehensive support throughout treatment.
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): MAT combines behavioral therapy and medications to treat substance use disorders. Carelon Behavioral often covers the medications and associated therapies under this treatment method.
