Does my Insurance Cover Out-of-Network Addiction Treatment?
Avatar Residential Detox Center is an out-of-network treatment facility. While “out-of-network” can sound intimidating and that coverage can be limited, we are here to help you figure all that out. According to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most health insurance policies must provide some coverage for addiction treatment services. Mental health and addiction treatment services are considered an “essential health benefit” offered through the health insurance marketplace. All health insurance plans are required to cover at least some type of partial coverage for behavioral health services, inpatient services, and substance use disorder treatment. Call us today, and we will help you determine what is covered to reduce any stress hindering your recovery.

What if I don't have Insurance?
If you are in a situation where you do not have health insurance, options are still available to help you cover the cost of addiction treatment. It is worthwhile to explore if you qualify for government healthcare benefits. Many states offer aid for people who do not have private insurance, and some states have free, state-fund treatment options. In addition, scholarships or grants may also be available for those who need treatment but do not have insurance. The Directory of Single State Agencies (SSA) for Substance Abuse Services, managed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), can be a resource for finding assistance programs in your state.
What Are Some Additional Options to Assist With the Cost of Substance Abuse Treatment?
- Personal loans Many banks or credit unions will loan money for healthcare-related costs, including addiction treatment. Often, healthcare loans have lower interest rates compared to other loans. However, the loan and interest rate amount is contingent on your credit and other factors.
- Payment Plans Treatment facilities often provide financial options allowing you to pay back the cost of treatment in small increments over time in good faith. Avatar Residential Detox Center is open to working with you and your financial means.
- Scholarships Some treatment facilities, states, or government programs have scholarships to qualify individuals needing substance abuse treatment services.
Qualifying Life Event
Extenuating circumstances, such as a qualifying life event, may allow you to enroll in an insurance plan outside the standard open enrollment period. A qualifying life event may include the following:
- Losing your healthcare coverage. This may include losing your job, no longer enrolling in school, or aging out of your parent’s policy (turning 26 years old).
- Household changes include getting married, divorced, having a child (including adoption), or experiencing a death in the family.
- Moving to a new residence. This can include moving to a different country or postal code, moving to or from where you work or go to school, or entering or leaving transitional housing.
- Change in income, making more or less money. Changes in your income can affect your eligibility criteria for healthcare carriers.
- Gaining United States citizenship.
- Getting out of jail or prison.
If you are unsure if you underwent a qualifying life event and want to explore healthcare insurance options available to you, call 1-800-318-2596 (TTY: 1-855-889-4325) to talk to an Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace representative about applying for insurance.
