The Affordable Care Act Mandates Addiction Treatment

Molina Healthcare plans have been around since the early 1980s but experienced significant growth after the rollout of Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act of 2010.

The ACA forced each health insurance provider who wanted to participate in the federal program to treat behavioral health services equally with physical or surgical needs.

What Mental Health Conditions Will Molina Cover?

In-network coverage with Molina Healthcare insurance plans cover many services under plans. For Arizona Medicaid, these are some of the conditions they must consider under the ACA:

• Alcohol use disorder (alcohol abuse)
• Substance use disorder (substance abuse treatment)
• Mood disorders (major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, persistent depressive disorder)
• Personality Disorders (borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder)
• Eating disorders (anorexia or bulimia nervosa)
• Anxiety and panic disorders
• Post-traumatic stress disorder and other trauma conditions
• Co-occurring disorders (dual diagnosis)

The key to getting services approved is for a doctor to consider the medical necessity of the treatment. Changes Healing Center will help you with this process, including reaching out to your primary care provider if your plan requires a referral. We’ll guide you in keeping out-of-pocket costs affordable.

Choosing the Correct Level of Rehab Treatment

As a provider of Molina Health insurance plans, we can help you get the right level of treatment services to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses. Molina Healthcare plans approve mental health treatment according to client needs.

Our customized approach to drug and alcohol treatment is the perfect fit for your insurance coverage.

Inpatient Treatment Services

Molina Healthcare offers inpatient coverage for inpatient drug and alcohol rehab for clients with the most complex needs. Inpatient rehab at Changes means you stay in our comfortable, home-like rehab center 24 hours a day, under the care of our team of healthcare providers.

Inpatient treatment is the most structured and intensive level of care we offer.

Example of inpatient treatment programs: ‘Bree’ had become addicted to meth and cocaine as a teen. Now in her late 20s, her drug addiction has spiraled out of control. She had overamped more than a dozen times, and the E.D. doctors warned her of her deteriorating condition every time. She’d tried outpatient treatment at local rehab facilities 3 times but relapsed into substance abuse every time.

Molina coverage for Bree included detox services, inpatient treatment programs, and behavioral therapy. This combination gave Bree the best opportunity to change, and the financial assistance of her Molina Medicaid program left her with zero treatment costs.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

The Molina Insurance plan also covers outpatient rehab, including PHPs for those who are a good match. PHPs provide the same intensive treatment plan as inpatient drug and alcohol rehab, but clients stay at home or in a sober living facility each night. Many clients seeking addiction treatment describe PHP as a full-time job.

Example of mental health treatment in PHP: ‘Ronald’ had Molina Healthcare Insurance and used it to attend drug and alcohol rehab. His addiction had started with alcohol abuse, but he now drank heavily along with abusing prescription drugs – he enjoyed the relaxed effect when he combined them.

Because Ronald’s alcohol addiction could endanger him, Molina Healthcare insurance approved him for a PHP program, detox, family therapy, and medication-assisted treatment to reduce his reliance on alcohol. He attended substance abuse treatment at Changes and enjoyed the freedom of sleeping at an affordable sobriety home overnight. Ronald is grateful for the in-network coverage that helped him reclaim his sober life.

Intensive Outpatient Programs

Molina Healthcare Insurance plans often want clients to receive drug and alcohol addiction treatment in the intensive outpatient program. The IOP uses evidence-based therapy and counseling, like the PHP and inpatient treatment.

However, clients who qualify for outpatient treatment attend services for fewer hours and days. It’s a good solution for people with mild addictions and other responsibilities to receive the necessary mental health services, usually with lower out-of-pocket costs.

An example of how IOP rehab programs work: ‘JJ’ applied their Molina coverage to help with an eating disorder. Since their late teens, JJ had struggled with binge eating. While they’d controlled the impulse to binge and purge for years, JJ’s family members had convinced them that the behavior was getting out of control.

JJ found IOP a great solution; they could handle their daily responsibilities while getting complete care at Changes. JJ received individual dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and group therapy and changed their relationship with food. They’re much healthier now and enjoying life.

We’ll Contact Molina Healthcare to Discover Coverage Details

We explained that all insurers listed on the healthcare marketplace must provide access to alcohol and drug rehab and help with mental health issues. Government-sponsored programs, like the Molina marketplace insurance plans, are no exception.

While it’s true that the law mandates insurance coverage for mental disorders and addiction treatment, some health insurance companies provide coverage for drug rehab reluctantly. Before the ACA passed, insurance providers routinely denied health services for substance abuse treatment or made it feel nearly impossible to find in-network healthcare providers.

One trick was to fail to provide information about in-network providers, making members assume out-of-pocket expenses would be too high. They’d read the coverage details and assume few doctors were in-network. Because of that, many failed to get the necessary help from qualifying rehab centers.

The bias against – and stigmatization of – drug and alcohol rehab still exists. While they mask their intentions, it’s best to follow this advice: Don’t contact Molina directly. Call Changes with your questions or concerns about what’s covered by Molina health insurance plans.

Contacting Changes About Your Molina Health Insurance

Are you still asking yourself: What does Molina healthcare cover? Rehab centers know the language necessary for approvals when discussing treatment plans with Molina Medicare or Medicaid insurance. If you don’t explain your needs precisely or answer their questions satisfactorily, they may not approve the proper level of care to suit your recovery needs.

Your call to discuss your rehab needs and learn about Molina coverage will require us to collect some confidential information. Before you reach out, grab your Molina Healthcare Insurance card to have handy.

We will gather your contact information and the policy plan/group numbers from your Molina Healthcare card. We’ll ask you to explain your addiction treatment needs and any past recovery experiences to determine the level of care. Remember that Molina marketplace plans must carry mental health, but getting the necessary service approved might take time and focus.

We strive to get the most services covered by Molina Healthcare insurance plans with the lowest out-of-pocket expenses for you.
