UMR Insurance Coverage for Rehab
Deciding to get help for addiction is the first fundamental step in the recovery journey, but you might be worried about how to pay for treatment. Understanding your insurance coverage can alleviate those concerns and help you move forward confidently.
UMR members may find that this TPA (third-party administrator) can help them access the treatment they need, even though UMR is not an insurance company. This guide to UMR insurance coverage for rehab outlines all you need to know about UMR rehab, including the type of rehab services covered and how to benefit from UMR’s partnership with UnitedHealthcare.
Understanding UMR Insurance Rehab Coverage
As a TPA, UMR works with employers and healthcare providers like UnitedHealthcare to help people access care, including drug and alcohol rehab. UMR ensures your claims are processed promptly and accurately, enabling you to focus on recovery.
If your insurance plan includes coverage for addiction treatment, UMR will help manage the process efficiently. This includes checking what services are covered, how much you need to pay out-of-pocket, and finding in-network rehab centers like Anchored Recovery. Since the enactment of the ACA (Affordable Care Act), health insurance plans must cover substance abuse treatment as they do for other medical conditions.
When using UMR for addiction treatment:
- Check your policy: Your benefits can vary based on the specifics of your plan.
- Verify your coverage: Contact UMR or use their online portal to establish what types of treatment are covered.
- Find in-network providers: Choosing an in-network rehab center can help reduce costs. Whether you require detox, inpatient care, or outpatient services, UMR can help guide you through the process, enabling you to get the support you need.
Does UMR Insurance Cover Drug Rehab?
UMR helps cover drug rehab if your insurance plan includes this benefit. Addiction to substances like opioids, cocaine, meth, or prescription drugs can be treated with professional care. UMR ensures that your insurance covers the costs of any treatment that’s deemed medically necessary and is a part of your policy.
Through UMR, you may have coverage for different types of drug rehab, including:
- Detox programs: Detox is the first step in the recovery process. It involves removing harmful substances from your body. This can be challenging and potentially life-threatening, so it’s best carried out under controlled conditions and close medical supervision.
- Inpatient rehab: You stay at a treatment center for 24-hour care. Inpatient programs are highly structured and supportive, beneficial for those with severe addictions or co-occurring mental health disorders.
- Outpatient rehab: You live at home and attend daytime therapy sessions. This form of treatment is more flexible and affordable and can work well for individuals with milder addictions or work and family responsibilities.
- MAT (medication-assisted treatment): MAT is proven effective for treating opioid addictions and involves a combination of FDA-approved medications and therapy to reduce cravings and support long-term recovery.
- Therapy and counseling: Rehab involves both one-to-one counseling and group therapy helping you understand the reasons underpinning your addiction and teaching you how to cope with triggers.
To establish what drug rehab services are covered:
- Call UMR using the number on your insurance card.
- Ask questions about your benefits, like how much of the costs are covered and how long you can stay in treatment.
- Verify your benefits with the rehab center you’re considering. Many centers can check your insurance for you.
Does UMR Insurance Cover Alcohol Rehab?
UMR insurance rehab coverage extends to alcohol rehab if your insurance plan includes this benefit. Alcohol addiction can be just as harmful as drug addiction, and professional intervention can make the difference between relapse and sustained recovery. UMR works with your insurer to ensure you can access the right care for your recovery.
UMR rehab coverage for alcohol addiction should include the same services as those offered for drug addiction treatment.
To check what your UMR plan covers for alcohol rehab:
- Call UMR to ask about your plan’s benefits for alcohol treatment.
- Check your policy details online through UMR’s portal or by talking to your HR department at work.
- Contact the rehab center to confirm they are in-network and accept your insurance.
How UMR Insurance Can Help with Addiction Treatment
Getting help for addiction can feel daunting, but UMR streamlines the process. As a third-party administrator, UMR works with insurance providers like United HealthCare to help handle claims and maximize your plan’s benefits.
Here’s how UMR can help you access treatment for substance use disorder or alcohol use disorder:
- Coverage for various types of treatment: Through UMR, you can access detox services, inpatient or outpatient rehab, MAT, and behavioral therapies to promote whole-body recovery from addiction.
- Ensures access to in-network providers: Choosing an in-network rehab center can help save you money. UMR works with rehab providers nationwide, making it easy to get high-quality care close to you. In-network providers are those approved by your insurance plan and the cost is usually less than with out-of-network alternatives.
- Offers help for mental health services: Many people with addictions also grapple with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). Treating addiction and mental health disorders simultaneously is proven to deliver superior treatment outcomes.
- Supports long-term recovery: Recovery is an ongoing journey and sustained support helps people stay sober long-term. UMR may help you access support groups like AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcotics Anonymous), or sober living communities.
- Guides you throughout the process: UMR can help you understand your insurance benefits, find the right treatment, and handle paperwork. They make the process smoother so you can focus on getting better.
