Best Rehabs In-Network or Accepting Aetna
Colorado, USA

To help minimize your out-of-pocket costs, we rank rehabs fully in-network with Aetna at the top of this list, followed by secondary options that accept Aetna out-of-network. Because coverage varies significantly across HMO, PPO, and Choice plans, you must verify your exact policy details directly with the drug and alcohol treatment center. You may see different Aetna plan names, administrator, or behavioral health vendors depending on your coverage, employer, or state. Aetna is part of CVS Health, and behavioral health benefits are typically managed through Aetna Behavioral Health. Follow the phone number and instructions on your ID card or member portal.

How to Choose a Rehab in Colorado If You Have Aetna

Finding the right treatment can be overwhelming, but your Aetna insurance can make it easier to choose care. Most Aetna plans cover life-saving addiction services.

Note: You may see different Aetna plan names, administrator, or behavioral health vendors depending on your coverage, employer, or state. Aetna is part of CVS Health, and behavioral health benefits are typically managed through Aetna Behavioral Health. Follow the phone number and instructions on your ID card or member portal.

What does your specific Aetna plan cover for addiction treatment?

Most Aetna 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 Aetna 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 Aetna cover for rehab?

Aetna 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.

With Aetna, coverage varies plan by plan and often state by state. Two people with Aetna may have very different benefits, even for the same treatment program.

Coverage details that often vary include:

  • Deductibles, copays, and coinsurance
  • Note: any plan can have a deductible
  • 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 Aetna 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.

Learn more about Aetna coverage, costs, and best practices for choosing the right rehab while minimizing out of pocket costs.

How we evaluate facilities

Our research team reviews facilities using public data sources, information verified directly by contacting the facility, and information reported by the facility themselves. Whenever possible, we interview the clinical leadership of a facility and perform Secret Shopper calls to understand the patient experience. These inputs, along with data from SAMHSA, accrediting bodies (including Joint Commission and CARF), state licenses, and other sources help complete a full picture of the facility. These data help us develop Trust Score rating for each facility, a simple A+ through E grade helping you understand how likely it is you can trust a facility.
