Medicare Addiction Treatment

Many times, what’s stopping someone from entering treatment for addiction isn’t a lack of desire to recover – it’s the worry associated with paying for treatment. Cost should never be a barrier for addiction treatment and recovery. That’s why Hemet Valley Recovery Center is in-network with Medicare.

Medicare Coverage for Addiction Treatment

For anyone age of 65 or over or those with disabilities, Medicare is one way to manage the cost of addiction treatment. However, Medicare can be confusing and difficult to understand, and it can be challenging to figure out if you qualify for specific services. According to Medicare Interactive, Medicare covers both inpatient and outpatient alcoholism and substance abuse treatment if:

  • Your provider states that the services are medically necessary.
  • You receive services from a Medicare-approved provider or facility, such as Hemet Valley Recovery Center.

What Medicare Covers

  • Patient education regarding diagnosis and treatment.
  • Psychotherapy.
  • Post-hospitalization follow-up
  • Prescription drugs administered during a hospital stay.
  • Outpatient prescription drugs covered by Part D (must be medically necessary).
  • Structured Assessment and Brief Intervention (screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment) when an individual shows signs of substance use disorder.

Covering Rehab with Medicare

Medicare is comprised of four parts. Each covers different phases of addiction recovery programs:

  • Part A can cover hospital stays and inpatient rehabilitation. It covers up to 60 days in treatment without a co-insurance payment, meaning you are responsible for paying a deductible
  • Part B should cover outpatient care that you receive from a clinic or hospital outpatient department. It covers mental health services, which include alcoholism and substance abuse treatment, at 80% of the Medicare-approved amount. If you receive treatment from a participating provider, such as HVRC, you will pay a 20% co-insurance payment after reaching your Part B deductible. If you have a secondary insurance or supplemental insurance, it should cover the copays. Please note that medications to treat substance abuse can be covered under Part A. They are not usually covered by Part B or D.
  • Part C is Medicare-approved private insurance, which provides more benefits under Medicare. However, coverage varies, and out-of-pocket costs can be more expensive.
  • Part D can cover the cost of recovery-related medications that help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, which increase the likelihood of staying sober. All Medicare drug plans cover antidepressant, antipsychotic and anticonvulsant medications required for mental health.
