Does Aetna Offer Coverage for Substance Abuse Disorders?

Yes, Aetna Health may cover some or all of the cost for drug and alcohol rehab.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that marketplace insurance provide certain essential benefits.² As a part of this mandate, the government requires most insurance companies to cover mental health and addiction treatment, and a person should not be denied benefits based on a preexisting condition.³ This applies to most health insurance companies in Florida and the rest of the United States.

The specific amount of coverage per individual will vary based on different plan levels, tiers, and policies. Coverage also fluctuates based on location. For example, its local option for state residents that qualify for Medicaid is called Aetna Better Health of Florida.¹

What Types of Rehab are Covered by Aetna Insurance?

The level of addiction treatment needed depends on several factors, such as the specific kind of substance being used, severity of addiction, and so on. Aetna’s in-network insurance plans cover different types of rehab for drug and alcohol use disorders in Florida, including:⁴

• Medically assisted detox—This type of treatment program assists with physical dependency and withdrawal symptoms.
• Inpatient or residential rehab—These rehab programs offer patients 24-hour supervised treatment for drug and alcohol use disorders. Once the person is stabilized, they may be ready to move to another form of treatment.
• Partial hospitalization program—This type of rehab involves several hours of programs during the day, and patients can go home at night.
• Intensive outpatient program—This is similar to a partial hospitalization program, but sessions typically meet in the evenings, several times a week for a few hours at a time.
