Elevance Health Insurance Coverage for Addiction Treatment
Discover how Elevance Health (formerly Anthem, Inc.) covers addiction treatment through various plans. Learn about benefits, in-network options, and holistic support.
Elevance Health was named Anthem, Inc. until 2022. They offer a variety of health plans, including Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, in 14 states. They also have Wellpoint Medicare and Medicaid plans and additional affiliates. I am impressed with how Elevance works with its local communities to improve access to care and health equality.
One thing that’s really exciting is that Elevance supports holistic treatment options, which means that those types of treatment are more likely to get coverage from your plan. In 2020, the company announced that they had more than doubled the number of members receiving whole person therapies for opioid use disorder.
Also, Elevance plans provide access to the Bright Heart Health telehealth MAT program to make it easier to pair counseling with medication use. Getting both is essential if you want to lay the foundation for long term recovery.

Soberman’s Estate was everything I needed for my recovery. The staff, the program, physical activity and culinary experience were top notch and essential. The program is well designed and worked better than I expected. The staff is remarkable - professional, considerate and genuinely caring. My time there and being removed from alcohol for five weeks was everything I needed to remove my craving for alcohol. Soberman has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined. I feel confident, secure and grateful for my new life. I have reconnected with my family and friends. Thank you Soberman.

I had a great experience overall and would recommend it to anyone wanted to jump start their sobriety!!
This place is not your ordinary rehab facility. They go beyond your standard rehabilitation and literally "Elevate" your life to a new level you didn't think was ever possible before. The program is structured in a way that you desire to learn more and give more into the healing process. If you take the necessary steps and put your heart into the program you will come out with a newfound appreciation for life and all that surrounds you. Please take this step, as my husband did, to embrace your life and get the healing you deserve and owe yourself.

I think this is a wonderful rehab, the facilities are beautiful, the food is amazing (I have never even had food this good at a restaurant), and above all they have really helped my husband. Obviously anyone that first goes to rehab isn’t happy with their situation but in just two short months he was a changed person. The work they have them do on themselves got him to finally see why drugs and alcohol are no way of life. He’s finally sober and actually enjoying it! This rehab helped him so much he actually chose to stay LONGER, and I am for once excited for what the future can bring.

My experience here throughout my last few months has completely changed my whole outlook on life. Before I got here I thought my life was going towards the end. My body was failing and mental state was terrible. Every part of the program touches on every aspect of the addicts life. Now that I have finished the program and started living daily life with all of the gains I got throughout the program, failure isn’t an option. I know I can truly be happy sober now. I finally gained back the love and support from my life partner and best friend I always knew was still there. My mom also believes in me again which is so important to me. The possibilities and happiness are endless now. Thank you Elevate.

This is the best treatment program. The care plan, group sessions, one-on-one therapy, and medical treatment is tailored to your specific needs. The staff is very caring, knowledgeable, and concerned about your recovery and well being. Can't say enough about my therapist Stephanie. She unlocked doors that have been cemented and buried for over 40 years. Wouldn't be where I am today without her. I'm finally finding my self. Proud to be an Alumni!

Is an place to get help highly beneficial and recommend
The staff truly cares about their patients and provided care that met my needs. The whole program exceeded my expectations and I can't thank everyone enough for the impact they made on my life and mental health. Deciding to seek treatment was not an easy thing for me but I am so glad I chose Footprints to Recovery. It wasn't all just sitting around doing therapy all day and we got the chance to do yoga, art and music therapy, and also go outdoors with Adventure Recovery. If you are considering treatment I highly encourage you to invest in yourself and give Footprints a call!

Footprints was an absolutely stellar facility to go to after completing inpatient addiction treatment. The staff were all very patient and understanding during my biggest ups and downs during treatment, and I never felt any judgement even at my lowest points.
Recovery is such a serious rock to carry but the groups and providers helped me collect the tools necessary to be able to tackle this journey on my own.
The nursing team was incredibly helpful in finding me medications that are actually helping my mental health and addiction cravings. I've had more success in the three months I got to share with Footprints than the years I've worked with my primary care and therapist.
Andrew with case management is hilarious and hugely helpful with resources and managing work and life alongside treatment.
Anika is an incredible therapist and I am sad to leave her care, but know she will continue to do amazing things for other clients.
If you are struggling with any substance abuse, I highly recommend seeking help with Footprints. They will absolutely get you back on your feet.

My experience at All In Solutions was amazing. It got off to a rocky start and that’s why I’m rating them a four.
The call center when you first call in literally lies to you. They tell you that you can have your phone, visitors, freedom. With that information, I made an action plan for my father with whom I’m the primary caregiver. Mainly, being able to pay my bills and the household staff with my phone when necessary. When I got there, it was a different story - no phone access unless given permission by your therapist - which immediately made me feel uncomfortable and scared. People already don’t know what to expect as first timers and the first thing that happens is you walk into a lie?!!! I now understand the reasons that no external communication is allowed. The point is to seclude you in order to start your mental, emotional and physical healing caused by alcohol and substance abuse. I’m the type that had they told me that, I would have come anyway. But also, that’s the point of detox so it won’t be different anyplace else. The problem was the not knowing and misdirection.
So, I actually left after being checked in but because of my brother, I ended up going back. Best decision of my life.
The staff at the actual facility is nothing short of amazing. From management, counselors, the therapists, the techs, the doctors and nurses, the weekly chiropractor and massage visits, AND the amazing food, it made detox and the beginning of recovery comfortable and stress free. Get lucky like me and have a great roommate and it’s even better. But also, the other patients during my time helped a lot. We connected, loved on each other, encouraged each other, shared stories, cried, and laughed. Now that I’m home (continuing further treatment,) my experience at All In solutions is easily in my top five life experiences. A good experience that saved my life.
I recommend them highly and am proud to wear the swag they provided. T-shirt, sweatshirt, swim bag and backpack.

I cannot thank DFC enough for my recovery experience. I've been to rehab before and nothing compares to the tools and recovery that Joseph and the entire staff at DFC was able to offer me. I feel confident moving forward that there will be much light in my life ahead. If you are seeking help, I strongly recommend Design For Change. Thank you for everything.

Design for change has a good counselor support system. They do the 12 steps daily and show a good insight about addiction and how to recover. This is my third time at treatment but first time here and believe I may have found the last piece that Will set me free. I appreciate the time that was spent to better my life
Very helpful for mental health. I will say you get as much out of here as you put in. My therapist and the staff have been wonderful and I’ve learned a lot of useful tools for my life moving forward. I’m not fixed, but I have more balance.

I have struggled with alcohol abuse for the last three years and this was the ONE place out of 23 treatment centers that finally worked. Nobody ever thought they would see me sober, but today I can say I am, thanks to Sober Life. I was a frequent relapser, just barely making it by, and when I decided to seek treatment through Sober Life a whole new world opened for me. The team at Sober Life cares. I felt valued, I felt empowered, understood and heard. After being in and out of so many treatment centers I found myself fatigued, but through my process with Sober Life I actually wanted to continue my program as long as I could. I WANTED to be there and I've learned a life I never knew possible thanks to the team there. I can say that this program likely saved my life, and showed me a new life that I could never have imagined. The support and understanding was beyond belief. I felt so safe there. I've made friendships with a lot of my peers from groups as well. Which I never wanted to do before. Recovery can be difficult to begin, scary to start, but Sober Life feels SAFE. I'm not the type to write reviews, but I know how hard I struggled and for anyone reading this or questioning a start, I highly recommend this team. I am eternally grateful for my experience there.

Sober life has been one of the best experiences in my life! I came in not really sure what I wanted out of treatment and scared to really connect with people and have them see me in my weaker moments. All of the staff at sober life loved me through these issues and helped me get to a place where I felt safe and comfortable enough to communicate what was really going on with me, and gave me the tools I needed to be able to deal with things as they came up on a daily basis. Anytime I was a little off or lost any amount of momentum, they noticed immediately and did whatever they could to make sure I continued my progress and that even though addiction is a lonely disease, it became a lot easier to believe I wasnt alone and recovery is possible. It wasn't complicated at all, they handle the insurance stuff for you so you can focus and prioritize your recovery over anything else. Kimberly, Dan, Ashley, and Kelley have all been huge grounding stones in my recovery, showing up every time and helping me make solutions out of chaos. Having all of these amazing, kind, and extremely dependable people in my life has kept me steady and also taught me what having people around who genuinely love you, want the best for you, and who celebrate your achievements and help you through your downfalls looks like. Like any recovery program, you have to want it and put in your own effort, but they make the weight just lighter enough that it seems much more attainable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Elevance Health Cover Addiction Treatment?
In 2010, a law called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed. This law requires all long term health insurance plans to cover a specific list of essential health benefits. Both mental healthcare and addiction treatment are part of the list, so you can rely on your Elevance Health plan to help cover at least some of the cost of drug rehab.
How much is covered? The details vary from plan to plan, so it’s important to talk to the insurance company for specifics. One thing is certain though — the law requires mental health and addiction to be treated the same as any other health condition but some conditions and exceptions do apply. They can’t charge extra or have higher out of pocket costs for those programs compared to other care.
It’s important to understand your specific plan so you know what centers are considered in network. Also, you should ask if there are any out of network benefits, in case your preferred treatment location isn’t part of your plan.
What Are Elevance Plans?
Elevance uses several companies to offer health insurance. The most well known are the Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Those are offered in 14 states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Anthem plans might be offered as a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), which costs less per month but requires you to use in network providers. Or, the plan could be a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) which gives you more medical options but also costs more per month. Other times the plan will be an Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO), which is in between the two, offering some flexibility and moderate cost.
If you have Medicare Advantage or Medicaid, you might have an Elevance Health affiliated plan through Wellpoint. Wellpoint used to be called Amerigroup. There are other Elevance affiliates as well, but they generally sell short term or catastrophic care only plans, which are not under the ACA and may not offer coverage for addiction treatment.
Does Elevance Health Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Most Elevance plans cover medication assisted treatment (MAT). MAT can be used during medical detox to manage withdrawal symptoms and it can also be used as a longer term treatment for those struggling with opioid or alcohol misuse.
MAT has been shown to help those struggling with substance use stay stable during treatment which lowers the chances of relapse and overdose.
Coverage for MAT must be verified for each individual health care plan. Talk to your doctor about medical necessity and get any preapproval or preauthorization you need before you start treatment.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Elevance Health Cover?
When it comes to inpatient care treatment plans commonly include 5 to 10 days of medical detox and 60 to 90 days of residential or inpatient treatment. Before you commit to a program you will want to verify coverage with your insurance company. For example you may need a referral or preauthorization before you start.
A medical detox program allows you to be medically monitored to help you get through the detox process. Medication and medical treatment can help with withdrawal symptoms which keeps the process safe and as comfortable as possible.
After detox patients start the recovery process by attending an inpatient or residential inpatient program. These rehabs allow you to focus on your recovery without any distractions from daily life. You will receive individual and group therapy along with holistic approaches which may include yoga and art therapy and meditation. There will also be recreation and other activities.
To maximize your chances of long term recovery, you will want to follow your inpatient or residential rehab with outpatient treatment that helps you reinforce and practice your new habits in your daily life.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Elevance Cover?
There are several types of outpatient treatment. As with all rehab programs you will want to verify your insurance and make sure you get any referrals or preauthorizations before you begin treatment.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a full day program that provides more than 20 hours per week of treatment. It’s similar to inpatient care except that you go home or to a sober living facility outside of treatment.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) is generally 3 days a week for about 9 hours of group or individual therapy along with other approaches. There may also be peer support and other activites.
Finally general outpatient programs may only require 1 to 3 hours per week. This can be individual therapy or group meetings. You may also be connected to a peer support group like a 12 step program and to other community resources.
How to Verify Coverage with Elevance Health?
Elevance offers a variety of insurance plans and they are primarily through Blue Cross and Blue Shield. To verify your coverage and ensure you have met all requirements for coverage there are a few different ways to get your plan details.
First you can contact your insurance company directly. You can look up the insurance customer service number on the back of the insurance card. Call them and ask how much coverage you have for rehab and what out of pocket costs you might have such as deductibles and copayments.
Another idea is to go online and log in to your account on the Elevance website. You’ll be able to view your coverage information and look for in network providers that offer the care you need.
Finally many treatment centers can help you verify your insurance. The center will know what insurance plans they accept and what kind of out of pocket costs you can expect. They should also let you know if your doctor needs to provide a referral or if you need to get a preauthorization.
By calling the helpline you agree to the terms of use. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses. There is no obligation to enter treatment.
Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider.
