Drug & Alcohol Rehab Covered by Nevada Medicaid
If you’re a Nevada resident who receives Medicaid benefits and is living with substance use disorder (SUD), you may be curious about Anthem Medicaid coverage for alcohol or drug treatment. Thankfully, Anthem Medicaid drug or alcohol rehab may be partially or fully covered by your plan. In this article, we’ll explore how Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield can help you access care at a rehab covered by Anthem Medicaid.
Does Nevada Medicaid Cover Drug & Alcohol Addiction Treatment?
Your Anthem Medicaid coverage for rehab may fully or partially cover the cost of your SUD treatment. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that all major health insurance providers offer coverage for the medically-necessary treatment of mental health disorders, including SUD.2
Which Types of Addiction Treatment Does Nevada Medicaid Cover?
Typically, insurance plans cover a continuum of care, but your exact coverage will depend on your specific health insurance plan. Your doctor or your addiction specialist will work with you to determine the type of care that’s the best fit for your needs.
Common levels of care that are fully or partially covered by health insurance include:
- Medical detox. Detox is the process by which the body rids itself of harmful substances. Due to the potential appearance of withdrawal symptoms, many may seek to undergo detox in a medical setting. .3
- Inpatient or residential treatment. During inpatient treatment, you’ll live at your care facility. You’ll have access to round-the-clock care while you develop the skills and habits that will support your sobriety daily.3
- Outpatient care. Outpatient care can be a good fit for those who are unable to attend inpatient care due to family or work responsibilities. Outpatient care is offered in many formats, including a by-appointment basis, through partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), or intensive outpatient programs (IOPs).3
- Aftercare. Following the completion of an inpatient or outpatient rehab program, you’ll need to continue your recovery with an aftercare plan. Your aftercare plan may include 12-Step program participation, therapy sessions, and living at a sober living facility.3
