Understanding Insurance and Rehab
In the late 1980’s it was possible for someone with any major insurance who was seeking treatment in Connecticut to simply walk into any hospital or drug rehab clinic, slide their insurance card over the desk and be admitted, often with no money paid out.
However, due to high ‘repeat’ cases where the clients were entering into the same treatment facilities (at upwards of $30k/month) several times, insurance companies have become more conservative in their coverage. In many cases today, insurance companies may limit the number of times entering drug or alcohol treatment in Connecticut, may limit the amount paid towards treatment, may request an “out of pocket” payment before entering treatment, or may even refuse to pay any benefits if the client leaves treatment before completion.
Average Insurance Coverage in Connecticut for Different types of Treatment
Essentially, the average breakdowns for coverage are as listed below:
Connecticut Medical Detox ($500-$1250/day): Often a hospital setting with the highest level of medical care. Usually short-term with stays of 3-10 days. 24-hour medical supervision. Clients do not leave the facility during their stay.
Connecticut Inpatient ($200-$500/day): General a state licensed facility with counselors and licensed professionals. Usually longer stays of 30-90 days. Clients also reside at the facility during their stay.
Connecticut Residential (Often no coverage): Generally a non-licensed facility. Can be long term. Clients generally reside at the facility.
Connecticut Intensive Outpatient ($90-$300/day): Generally a group therapy setting for several hours each day. Clients do not reside at the facility and just come to the treatment center each day.
Connecticut Outpatient ($90-$150/hour) Same as Intensive Outpatient but on a lesser scale. Can only be 1-3 hours per week of therapy.
Granted the figures above are considered very general estimates. Finding out exactly what kind of coverage is usually necessary to discover the true amounts of coverage in Connecticut for rehab.
In addition to understanding how much is the average paid benefits for different types of treatment, it is also important to understand that in Connecticut, there are also different types of Insurance based Rehabs.
Below we have sought to explain some of the different types.
Different types of Insurance based Rehabs in Connecticut
1) Connecticut Rehab that is “In network” with Insurance: In this case, the treatment provider is found to be within the network of the insurance provider. In most cases, ‘in network’ benefits are usually greater than ‘out of network’. In the best of cases, this means that the treatment program may be fully paid for by the insurance provider. However, it is important to understand that even ‘in network’ insurance policies can sometimes require an “out of pocket” payment before treatment may begin. In some cases, this is as little as a few hundred dollars, in others, it may be as much as several thousand.
2) Connecticut Rehab that is “Out of network” with Insurance: In this case, the insurance provider offers “out of network” benefits, which means that it does provide the means to offset the cost of treatment programs that aren’t in their predefined list. “Out of network” benefits are usually at a percentage less than
3) Connecticut Rehab that works towards “Insurance Reimbursement”: In this case, the program will require a full payment of the program in advance, but will work with the client in order to get partial or full reimbursement from the insurance provider.
