Does Amerigroup Cover Addiction Treatment?
Yes, both Medicaid and Medicare plans are required to cover drug rehab and addiction treatment as part of their health insurance plans. Your coverage can include a range of services designed to support your journey to recovery from substance use disorders.
However every insurance plan is going to have different coverage limits and requirements so be sure to review your coverage details before you begin a treatment plan. In most cases Medicare and Medicaid will require you to use specific medical providers and treatment centers that are approved by the respective program.
It’s also important to have a treatment plan created by your doctor so you understand what is medically necessary for you. Your insurance plan might require preauthorization before you begin rehab and the treatment plan will provide proof of the care you need.

I called the narcotics anonymous hotline about my son and they arranged for us to take him to Boca. My son didn't really want to go, but he went and was so glad he did. He is now over 5 months clean and doing extremely well. Thank you, Boca, for giving me my son back. He had nothing but great things to say about the way he was treated at your facility. When we picked up my son, we could see that the staff was very caring. There were hugs and tears from my son and others that he connected with. There was kind words and positivity from the staff. I would recommend Boca and I have to people who have asked. Thanks, again, Boca! ❤️

Symetria saved my life in more than one way. Each member of this team deeply cares about the patient without judgement. Vannah is such an incredible Clinician who truly listens, is an advocate for her patients, and is helping me work through my trauma to heal in a healthy way. I am forever grateful for this entire team: Samantha, Vannah, Dr. Son, the wonderful nurses. Thank you for saving my life and helping me heal.
This whole team was extremely supportive when my loved one was in crisis. They walk you through every step of the way with care. I highly recommend if you have anyone struggling with drug or alcohol addiction.

Boca is an amazing place. The staff is absolutely amazing. I was fortunate enough to be able to work with Misty and Sondra. From day 1 until the day I left was a complete 180. Misty helped set me up for my next steps, and truly cares and checked in on me to make sure it was the right fit. She got to know understood me as a person and truly knew the right next steps for me to be set up for success. Highly recommend Boca.
So I don't know where to start, besides Nicki is absolutely amazing. She has broken her back for me left, and right. Because of her I'm sober today. Love u Nicki. And an extra shout out to Boca recovery, and all of the staff there. This team is off the charts! I'm so happy and grateful. Give her a shot and see for yourself if u need recovery.

I would like to thank God for sending me to BOCA Recovery Center. When I first got there I couldn't believe it. The place was immaculate. Everything was in order, From the staff to the cleanliness. The snack bar was always full. They even had their own drink machine. The nurse is always on duty. Anytime you need your medicine you got it. No matter the time. My bedroom had a flat screen TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tubi, Pluto TV and much more. They have community cigarettes, Basketball Court and a Gazebo! I couldn't believe this place! They have a private chef! They feed you three times a day all hot meals. You also can also go to group. They have a big screen TV in the common area. So if you want to talk and watch TV you can! They also have a PS5! I couldn't feel more comfortable anywhere else! Thank You BOCA RECOVERY CENTER for a 10 star detox!

I had come and make a review. I was in distress and full of Anxiety (that I diagnosed myself with lol) trying to find my son an appointment in order for him to be discharged. I googled several places who did not accept his insurance. I felt defeated and said a prayer than I googled some more and found Provive Wellness. Not only was Tommy very knowledgeable, patient, and reached out to the social worker right away. My son was scheduled in no time. This is what I call superb customer service. And the best part of all I have no out of pocket cost, everything is covered by the insurance.

Managing health issues are always a difficult, but I have found the people and facilities at Riverview make every effort to make these moments as easy on you as possible. Valet your car at the front door, register at the front desk, take in the sweeping views of the river, and be seen by doctors, nurses, and the all the other staff members who make you feel like a real-life person they care about helping rather than a cog in the machine of their business. Dr Ciervo and team saved my life in a medical emergency a few years ago and I will never forget how compassionate they were through the entire process. I also highly recommend the Women's Center for annual screenings and follow up procedures as Dr Borofsky and her team - specifically Tiffany, Lisa, Doris and Danielle - were a dream team and provided the kind of top-notch care that all women deserve.
Edit: Removed a star as admin and billing required some corrections. Wherever you go, be your own advocate!

This is my second review. It will be just wonderful as my first. My husband was here last year and they were wonderful. Unfortunately at no fault of anyone there he is now back. This second time they were just as wonderful. They got him a bed the first day he called them. When he arrived they all welcomed him again. No one ever wants to have their family member to have to go through addiction but thank God for people like Freeman who truly care and want nothing but the best. I look forward to watching my husband’s progress and being there every step of the way. Thank you Freeman for caring and not ever giving up.

It was a difficult and impulsive decision to throw myself into treatment, I honestly went to the first place that said they had a bed, and I was beyond lucky that that place was White Sands Plant City.
The staff is incredible, the course selection was diverse and informative. The culinary team works very hard and the food was excellent, especially considering 3 meals a day for that many people.
I was scared going in, I had no idea what to expect. It was much less clinical than I thought and that is a good thing! Still with constant medical care, nurses and doctors if you had questions or concerns.
The BHT's, Case Workers, and Discharge, all were so personable with every single patient, and it was easy to feel like a part of the community almost instantly.
Mostly I want to shout out KeSaundra, she really helped me process my feelings and always was there to listen. Gonna make you proud girl!
This was one of the most moving experiences of my life, and I will always be grateful for White Sands.

Also want to shout out Ann Marie, I wish I had more time to get to know you more. You made yoga and meditation comfortable and I am furthering my practice in both now. Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Types of Amerigroup Plans
Americare offers a variety of health insurance plans. The company works hard to tailor its plans and policies to meet the needs of a diverse population primarily through government sponsored health coverage programs.
Each type of plan is designed to meet specific needs with varying levels of coverage and benefits. You must review the details of your plan to see how it fits with your healthcare needs. The following are the main types of plans offered by Amerigroup.
Amerigroup offers multiple Medicare plans. For those with Original Medicare you can get a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan and Medicare supplement plans that help you pay out of pocket costs. The prescription drug coverage may include medication assisted treatment (MAT).
They also offer Medicare Advantage plans which replace Original Medicare while also offering additional benefits such as vision and hearing care. However these plans also have a specific provider network and may not offer coverage outside the network. Some Advantage plans also require referrals for specialist care such as addiction treatment and you may need preauthorization as well.
Amerigroup also offers Special Needs Plans that are specialized for individuals with diseases or certain characteristics. For example a Medicare Special Needs Plan may cover individuals with a specific chronic illness or with dual eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid. For dual eligibility Amerigroup’s plans coordinate benefits between the two programs and provide comprehensive coverage.
Medicaid is a state and federally sponsored health plan that usually covers low income individuals and families. To qualify you must meet specific eligibility criteria that typically include your financial status and state residency. Amerigroup provides Medicaid managed care plans that offer comprehensive health services.
They cover a wide range of options, including hospital care, preventive services, and behavioral health services. Behavioral health services can include treatment for mental health conditions and substance use disorders.
Amerigroup also offers plans under the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to provide coverage for children in families that earn too much for Medicaid but cannot afford private insurance.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Amerigroup Cover?
Health insurance focuses on medically necessary treatment. That’s why it’s so important to have a treatment plan created by a healthcare professional to ensure you get the help you need.
Your doctor will likely use a test created by the American Society of Addiction Medicine to assess what level of treatment is necessary. This test covers factors like biomedical complications and acute withdrawal or intoxication dangers along with your readiness to change, former relapses or continued usage of mood altering substances, and your recovery environment.
Inpatient medical detox is ideal for those who use substances that may have a dangerous detoxification process. During medical detox there are medical professionals to make sure you stay safe and as comfortable as possible. Handling detox or withdrawal on your own can be dangerous and even terrifying in some situations.
With inpatient treatment you also have access to a support system and freedom from triggers or bad influences back home. If your doctor determines if you qualify for inpatient treatment it’s important that you are committed to overcoming the addiction and that any underlying medical conditions are treated to keep you safe and help you reach long term recovery. With inpatient care you have fast access to medical providers whenever needed and a buffer between you and the outside world.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Amerigroup Cover?
Amerigroup may cover multiple kinds of outpatient addiction treatment depending on your needs.
A partial hospitalization plan (PHP) is a full time program but you don’t live at the facility. You have treatment 6 to 8 hours a day five days a week. These programs can last up to 12 weeks. A PHP is the most intensive and structured type of outpatient care.
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is also structured but has more flexibility because you only meet for part of the day. It’s common to meet for three hours at a time and you may be able to choose morning or afternoon care so that you can manage work or school alongside treatment.
A standard outpatient treatment plan may only meet for one or two hours per week. During this stage you may also have access to aftercare resources such as help with housing and support for work or school goals.
Outpatient treatment generally allows you to maintain any commitments you have in your life and it’s less expensive. Treatment is often customized to match your schedule. The downside is that you must manage both outside life and treatment at the same time with no buffer.
Does Amerigroup Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
MAT is used to help with alcohol and opioid addiction and can be a valuable tool when used correctly and supervised by a physician. Experts combine medication with counseling to give you a higher rate of success. MAT has been proven to increase treatment retention and survival rates.
Methadone is used to help those with an opioid addiction. As a long acting full opioid antagonist it reduces cravings by blocking the effect of the opioid. Suboxone is also used to treat opioid addiction. It’s a combination of two chemicals that block the high of opioids while also blocking the brain’s opioid receptors.
MAT can help you stay stable during treatment so you can establish long term sobriety. Eventually you’ll be able to wean off the medication support and live a truly substance free life.
Does Amerigroup Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Amerigroup offers Medicaid and Medicare plans which both cover additional mental healthcare treatment. If you struggle with anxiety or depression or other concerns you can get help through therapy and crisis support among other treatment.
Addiction often pairs with other mental illnesses which can make recovery difficult. In order to reach recovery it’s important to get treatment with both mental health and addiction at the same time. Fortunately this type of integrated treatment is available from many providers.
Can I Travel Out of State For Treatment With Amerigroup?
Every plan is unique and benefits can differ. If you have Orignal Medicare along with an Amerigroup prescription or supplement plan you can see any Medicare approved provider around the country.
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan you will probably need to stay within the plan’s provider network. That means you probably need to stay in your local area. Even if your plan covers out of network care, your copayments and deductibles are much higher. To maximize your coverage it’s best to stay in network if you can.
If you have a Medicaid plan through Amerigroup you must choose treatment from a provider within your state that accepts Medicaid — so you would not be able to get treatment out of state.
How Long Will Amerigroup Cover Rehab?
Your insurance plan may have specific limits and requirements for coverage. You’ll want to get your full plan details before you start treatment so you know what is covered and for how long.
Inpatient programs can last anywhere from 30 days to 90 days. After inpatient care is done you may also participate in outpatient programs. The medically recommended length of your treatment depends on how severe the addiction is and what your doctor feels is most beneficial to you.
Because treatment programs are specialized for the individual it’s impossible to know how long your recommended treatment will be until you’ve been assessed. Treatment is not a race and is not something to be completed quickly but rather a way to integrate positive behaviors into your life to replace your addiction.
Those who stay the course and complete the entire program will most have the highest chance of long term recovery. It’s important to embrace the entire process and understand that while you may not see the end right at the beginning your provider has your best interests in mind when designing a treatment program.
