Molina Healthcare Coverage For Drug And Alcohol Rehab
Molina Healthcare offers many health insurance plans for individuals and families. Under the Affordable Care Act, all Health Insurance Marketplace plans are required to cover behavioral health services as essential health benefits.
Behavioral health benefits offered within Molina Healthcare plans will depend on the type of plan you have, where you live, and your specific insurance policy. Molina Healthcare offers healthcare coverage under several coverage tier levels.
Molina Healthcare coverage levels include:
- bronze plans: lowest monthly premiums, highest copays and deductibles
- silver plans: moderate monthly premiums, copays, and deductibles
- gold plans: more expensive premiums than silver, lower copays, lower deductible
- platinum plans: highest monthly premiums, lowest deductible, lowest copays
Eligibility requirements for coverage may also vary depending on the type of plan you have. The most common types of plans are HMO and PPO plans.
With these insurance plans, you can generally save on treatment costs by choosing a treatment provider that is in-network with Molina.
If you receive care from an out-of-network healthcare provider, Molina may offer partial coverage depending on the type of plan you have.
