Coverage for Addiction and Mental Health Treatment Using QualCare

QualCare Addiction Coverage

QualCare covers almost all types of addiction. These include some of the most addictive and widely used substances and drugs. A few of these include:

QualCare also covers co-occurring disorders as well. Co-occurring disorders refers to a person dealing with both an addiction and a mental health disorder at the same time. These cases can be very intense and stressful for everyone involved. QualCare helps ease the burden of these cases. Treatment for co-occurring disorders usually consists of simultaneous treatment for the two conditions while they are treated separately.

Discovery Institute covers a wide range of the above-mentioned addiction cases. QualCare is also able to provide coverage and help with your addiction treatment. The prices and coverage depend on the treatment used. No two cases of addiction are the same, this is important to keep in mind when determining coverage.

What Types of Treatment Does QualCare Cover?

Addiction treatment usually involves several widely-used methods and services. The intensity of treatment depends primarily on addiction at hand. This determines the type of treatment that is needed and how long you will need these services. The substance you are addicted to, the length, and the amount of substance used are all factors to consider. Most addiction treatment involves a mix of detox, therapy, and medication assistance. Here are just some of the treatment options we offer at Discovery Institute

• Detoxification – Detox is almost always the very first step of all addiction cases. Detox is a process that helps with the withdrawal effects of certain drugs. This process typically involves medication as a means to tame some of these severe withdrawal symptoms. Detox should be supervised by professionals and should never be done alone.
• Inpatient/Residential Treatment – This method can last anywhere from a few days to a few months. Inpatient treatment has a person staying in a drug-free and supervised facility. During this time a person will speak with therapists, other patients, and group therapy. Inpatient treatment offers 24/7 support and supervision around the clock.
• Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) – This level of treatment can last upwards of a few months (or weeks in some cases). Instead of staying in a treatment center, a person will attend 9-10 hours worth of sessions every week. IOP’s are generally used after residential treatment and provide a safe transition back into a person’s life.
• Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) – PHPs usually happens after inpatient treatment and is much less intense than residential treatment. However, a person will get the same form of treatment regardless. PHPs can be a few days or just a few hours a day.

We can help you see which benefits you or a loved one may be eligible for. With this in mind, it’s important, to be honest, and informed on what treatment plans are needed for you or your loved one. This can help determine the coverage and benefits available to you via QualCare.

Paying Out of Pocket

What you pay out of pocket depends on several different factors. These include the specific insurance plan you have, the state you live in, the treatment services you’ll be using, and how long you’ll be using them. Typically, plans will require a pre-authorization – which essentially means your insurance provider should confirm that the services are medically necessary. This is needed for cases of drug addiction.

Preauthorization is required but this doesn’t automatically guarantee that you will be covered. This is important to keep in mind as you look for treatment. If you are unsure of your next steps, reach out to a QualCare representative for more information. At the end of the day, out-of-pocket costs will be much less with QualCare coverage than without it.
