What Addiction Services Does Optum Cover?
Optum health insurance rehab coverage offers a wide range of addiction services to its members to help them overcome their substance abuse issues. These services include:
Optum covers the initial assessment and treatment planning process for individuals struggling with addiction. This includes evaluating the severity of the addiction, identifying any co-occurring mental health disorders, and creating an individualized treatment plan.
Optum also covers medically assisted detoxification services for individuals who need to safely withdraw from drugs or alcohol under medical supervision.
Optum provides coverage for inpatient rehabilitation programs that offer round-the-clock care in a structured environment. Our inpatient rehab in Hollywood includes therapy, medication management, and other evidence-based treatments.
Optum offers coverage for outpatient treatment programs that allow individuals to continue living at home while attending therapy sessions and support groups.
For individuals struggling with opioid addiction, Optum covers MAT which combines medication (such as buprenorphine) with behavioral therapy to help reduce cravings and prevent relapse.
Optum also covers individual and group counseling sessions for substance abuse, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing.
Once the initial treatment is completed, Optum provides coverage for aftercare programs such as sober living homes, ongoing therapy sessions, and support groups to help individuals maintain their sobriety long-term.
In addition to these specific services, Optum also offers resources and support for family members of those struggling with addiction through educational materials, counseling sessions, and family therapy options.
Optum recognizes the importance of addressing substance abuse as a treatable condition and provides comprehensive coverage for addiction services to help its members on their journey toward recovery.

OVERCOME SYMPTOMS
DETOXIFICATION
Many individuals have wondered how patients handle early recovery since it requires them to abruptly stop consuming alcohol or drugs. Don’t they experience withdrawal? Actually, the vast majority of individuals don’t experience withdrawal during treatment because they overcome those symptoms during detoxification.
In short, detoxification often comes as the first phase of a patient’s treatment plan and consists of an initial period during which to concentrate on overcoming the physical aspects of drug addiction. Usually, under the supervision of physicians, nurses, and detox techs, individuals in detox treatment receive the support and care needed to mitigate withdrawal as much as possible, minimizing the discomfort that’s often associated with abruptly ceasing substance abuse.
What Treatments Does Optum Not Cover?
Additionally, Optum may not cover alternative or holistic treatments, such as acupuncture or herbal remedies. These types of treatments are not typically recognized by traditional medicine and may not be covered by insurance.
Other addiction treatments that Optum may not cover include luxury rehab facilities, which offer high-end amenities and services. These types of treatment facilities can be very expensive and are not considered medically necessary by Optum.
It is always best to check with Optum directly to determine what specific addiction treatments are covered under an individual’s plan.

How to Verify Your Health Insurance for Rehab
- Contact your insurance provider: The first step in verifying your health insurance for rehab is to contact your insurance provider. You can find their contact information on your health insurance card or by visiting their website.
- In-network vs out-of-network providers: Find out if the rehab facility you are considering is in-network or out-of-network with your insurance provider. In-network providers have a contract with your insurance company and are more likely to be covered at a higher percentage compared to out-of-network providers.
- Get a pre-authorization: Some insurance companies require pre-authorization for rehab services before they will cover the costs. This means that you need to get approval from the insurance company before starting treatment. Make sure to ask if this is required and how long it takes for approval.
- Ask about deductibles and copays: Your health insurance plan may have deductibles and copays related to rehab services. A deductible is an amount you pay out-of-pocket before your insurance starts covering expenses, while a copay is a fixed amount you pay each time you receive a service. Ask about these costs so you can budget accordingly.
- Consider other payment options: If your insurance does not cover all or part of your rehab costs, consider other payment options such as financing, scholarships, or sliding-scale fees offered by the rehab facility or non-profit organizations.
Can You Use HSA for Rehab Expenses?
You can only withdraw funds from your HSA to pay for rehab expenses if you have enough funds in your account. If you do not have sufficient funds, you may have to pay out-of-pocket and then reimburse yourself from your HSA at a later time.
It’s important to keep detailed records of all your rehab expenses and payments made with your HSA. This will help when it comes time to file taxes and claim any tax benefits associated with using an HSA for medical expenses.
HSAs can be used for rehab expenses as long as they are recommended by a licensed healthcare provider and meet the requirements set by the IRS. Keep good records of all transactions and consult with a tax professional for any questions or concerns.
How to Use Your Optum Health Benefits
- Understand your rehab insurance coverage: Before using your Optum health benefits for rehab, it is important to understand what types of rehab services are covered under your insurance plan. This information can typically be found in your insurance policy or by contacting Optum directly.
- Verify the network status of your rehab facility: Optum has a network of preferred providers for rehab services. Verify your insurance to confirm that the rehab facility you plan to use is in-network with Optum to ensure maximum coverage and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
- Obtain a referral or pre-authorization if required: Some insurance plans may require a referral from your primary care physician or pre-authorization from Optum before undergoing rehab services. It is important to check with Optum or your primary care physician beforehand to determine if these steps are necessary.
- Understand your copayments and deductibles: Most insurance plans have copayments, which are fixed amounts that you must pay at the time of service, and deductibles, which are the amount you must pay before your insurance starts covering the cost of services. Make sure you understand these costs and how they apply to your specific plan.
- Keep track of all expenses: It is important to keep track of all expenses related to your rehab treatment, including copayments and deductibles, as these may be tax-deductible.
- Utilize additional resources: Optum offers various resources such as telehealth options and support groups that may be beneficial for individuals seeking treatment for substance abuse or mental health disorders. Our dual-diagnosis program in South Florida addresses substance abuse along with any co-occurring mental health disorders
- Seek assistance when needed: If you have questions or need assistance navigating through your rehab coverage with Optum, don’t hesitate to reach out to their customer service team for guidance and support.
