How to Choose a Rehab in California If You Have UnitedHealthcare
Finding the right treatment can be overwhelming, but your UnitedHealthcare (UHC) insurance can make it easier to choose care. Most UHC plans cover life-saving addiction services.
Note: UHC sometimes uses their partner company Optum to handle mental health and substance use benefits. If you see Optum on your member portal or insurance card, that is why.
What does your specific UHC plan cover for addiction treatment?
Most UHC plans cover addiction treatment, but benefits vary widely. Knowing the type of plan you have will help you narrow your search for the right type of care. Coverage can come through an employer, the ACA marketplace, Medicare Advantage, or Medicaid and most UHC plans use one of the network types below. Network types determine which providers you can use and if you need a referral for specific services.
| Plan Type | Out-of-Network Coverage | Is A Referral Required? | What Does This Mean for How to Choose Care? |
|---|---|---|---|
| PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) | Yes but generally at a higher cost | No | Offers a lot of flexibility to choose programs outside your area but out-of-network care usually costs more. |
| HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) | No (except for emergencies) | Yes | You must choose an in-network provider and out-of-network is probably not covered at all. |
| EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) | No (except for emergencies) | No | Treatment is only covered if it is in-network and you usually don’t need a referral. |
| POS (Point of Service) | Yes but generally at a higher cost | Yes | Combines components of HMO and PPO plans. You might need a referral for out-of-network care. |
What does UHC cover for rehab?
UHC will review your specific care needs and your plan to make insurance coverage decisions like they would for other medical needs, such as a heart condition or diabetes. Because of federal parity law, coverage for addiction treatment cannot be more restrictive than coverage for other medical needs. Coverage through UHC varies by the type of plan you have and the state you reside in. Two people with UHC may have very different benefits, even for the same treatment program.
The following aspects of coverage usually vary by plan:
- Deductibles, copays, and coinsurance
- Prior authorization needs
- How long treatment is approved for
- Differences in coverage for levels of care
- Out-of-pocket maximums that put a cap on how much you pay
It is also important to determine how your UHC plan would apply to the facilities you are interested in. If you reach out, a majority of rehabs will verify benefits for you for no cost and they can tell you whether the program is in network, what your potential costs could be, and if there are any limitations on length of stay for treatment.
