How To Use Health New England Insurance For Drug Addiction Treatment

Many insurance providers, including Health New England, will cover an array of behavioral health services for people in need.  

Insurance plans through Health New England will range in cost and level of coverage depending on the specifics of the insurance plan. 

The following are different Health New England plans available to cover addiction treatment:

  • Health maintenance organization (HMO) plan: HMO plans are some of the cheapest types of health insurance with low premiums, deductibles, and fixed copays.
  • Point-of-service (POS) plan: POS plans cover out-of-network providers but will cost more for in-network services. 
  • Preferred provider organization (PPO) plan: Someone with a PPO plan can see out-of-network doctors without a referral, but monthly premiums will be higher. 

Once a person has chosen what type of plan works for them and their loved ones, they can select a tier based on how much they want to pay for deductibles, copays, and premiums. 

Lower-tier plans will have lower monthly premiums but higher out-of-pocket costs, whereas higher tiers will cost more per month but will cover a higher percentage of treatment costs.

Questions To Ask Before Using Health New England Insurance At A Rehab Facility

Once a client has selected an insurance plan, it’s advised that they contact a representative at Health New England before choosing a drug rehab facility. 

Questions to consider include:

  • What level of care will my insurance cover at a treatment center? 
  • Does my insurance plan cover detox?
  • Do I need to seek a referral from a clinician before I enroll in an inpatient rehab program?
  • Are there treatment options that aren’t covered?
  • How much do I have to pay if the treatment facility is out of network?
  • What if I can’t afford my copays or deductibles?
  • Can I use Medicaid or Medicare insurance to cover the cost? 

There are also several state-funded or free rehab centers throughout the U.S. that provide evidence-based services at little to no out-of-pocket costs. 

It’s important to keep in mind that free recovery centers may have certain income restrictions and may require that potential clients enter a waitlist due to high demand.
