Find Alcohol & Drug Rehabs that Accept Anthem Insurance

When enrolled in an Anthem plan that includes behavioral health services, you may have access to:

• Medically supervised detoxification programs for alcohol or drug withdrawal.
• Inpatient or residential rehabilitation when 24-hour care is medically indicated.
• Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for structured care with daytime visits rather than overnight stays.
• Outpatient therapy, including individual, group, and family sessions for ongoing recovery support.
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) using FDA-approved medications (e.g., for opioid or alcohol dependence) combined with counseling.
• Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and addiction disorders.
  
  

Here’s what you should do to make sure your Anthem benefits will support addiction treatment:

1. Review your summary of benefits and coverage or log in to your Anthem member portal. Ask for specifics under “behavioral health” or “substance use disorder” services.
2. Call the member services phone number on your Anthem card and ask:
   • “What levels of addiction treatment are covered under my plan?”
   • “Do I need pre-authorization for inpatient or residential care?”
   • “Which facilities are in-network for my plan in my area?”
3. Confirm the treatment center you’re considering accepts Anthem insurance, is in-network (if possible), and is credentialed to provide the level of care you need.
4. Use a navigation service like Better Addiction Care to help you identify reputable rehab centers that accept Anthem, compare options, and assist with verification of benefits.

If you discover restrictions in your Anthem coverage (e.g., the facility you prefer isn’t in-network, or your cost share is high), you still have options:

• Choose an in-network facility that accepts Anthem to maximize your benefit.
• Consider a lower-intensity level of care (like outpatient rather than full residential) if it still meets your clinical needs.
• Ask the treatment center if they offer payment assistance, sliding-scale fees, or financing for any portion your insurance doesn’t cover.
• Collaborate with your clinician and your insurance contact to ensure prior authorizations and referrals are completed properly to avoid claim denials.
