Insurance & payment options
It’s estimated that over 46 million Americans have a diagnosed substance use disorder. Of these, roughly 94% go untreated. That’s an alarming statistic considering addiction and mental health care are widely available around the country from treatment providers like South Coast Behavioral Health. Unfortunately, many hesitate to get the help they need because of the cost of treatment. The good news is that many treatment centers accept insurance. If you’re interested in using Cigna insurance to pay for rehab, you’re in luck. South Coast Behavioral Health accepts Cigna insurance and will work with your coverage provider to create a treatment plan that’s cost-effective for you. Our goal is to make treatment for substance abuse as simple and stress-free as possible so you or a loved one can focus on getting better. Let’s dive into ins and outs of using Cigna insurance coverage for treatment programs.
Cigna Healthcare Europe is a global insurance organization serving over 200 markets worldwide. Cigna was founded in 1982 and over the years has established itself as a leader in health insurance. Cigna’s mission is globally-focused. They cater to individuals around the world, including those in the United States. This inclusivity mindset is ingrained in their services, as they offer multilingual support and work with 1.5 million health professionals worldwide.
Some of their values are prioritizing people, providing affordable policies, offering quality customer service, and promoting overall health and wellness. One feature they excel at is digital care. As such, the Cigna Wellbeing App provides global telehealth services.
Cigna values total wellbeing and holistic care. They offer plans that reduce the cost of treatment for substance addiction and mental health rehabilitation. Many of their policies provide coverage for such services, but it depends on which one you have.
Some of the available Cigna insurance plans include:
Cigna also provides insurance for intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations. Their employer-funded plans cater to local and remote employees as part of their goal to offer global healthcare insurance. Like most insurance companies, Cigna divides their plans into tiers. These tiers on the lower end of the spectrum have lower monthly costs but less coverage and higher deductibles. These are generally referred to as bronze and silver plans. Conversely, higher tier plans—gold and platinum—cost more each month but cover more services with lower deductibles.
Regardless, your Cigna plan will likely help you pay for substance addiction services.
The good news is that many Cigna insurance plans help pay for addiction treatment. How much they cover and what you have to pay before insurance starts paying depends on your specific plan. Both substance abuse treatment and mental health care are important parts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). So, most insurance companies, including Cigna, offer help for these services.
To find out what your plan includes, go to Cigna Global Health Insurance online. Find the Member Login section and pick your plan type. You’ll need to log in and then you can see your policy documents.
Be sure to check the details, like co-pays and deductible. Different plans have different levels, like bronze, silver, gold, or platinum. Higher levels usually cost more each month, but they might have lower costs when you get care. Lower levels might need you to pay more at first or each time you visit, but less each month. Co-pays can decide how much of your treatment gets covered and how much you have to pay each night. The best way to know which Cigna plans help with addiction treatment is to check your own plan.
Some addiction and behavioral health services need a referral from your doctor. This shows your insurance provider that treatment is essential for your recovery. After you get the referral, your insurance will start covering the costs of rehab. But it’s important to check what you need beforehand, so you don’t have to wait for approval when the time comes to use Cigna insurance for rehab.
Some treatments or services might need pre-authorization, which means you need Cigna’s approval before starting addiction or mental health treatment. If you don’t get this approval first, your insurance might not cover the treatment. Prior certification is often needed for prescription medications with the ability to be misused, such as opioid agonists. Your insurance company can deny you coverage for certain services if you don’t have the right approvals from your physician.

Check Your CoverageSubstance abuse treatment has different levels to help people heal from addiction step by step. It usually begins with detoxification, then moves to inpatient and outpatient treatment. Through these steps, individuals achieve sobriety, understand why they became addicted, heal from any trauma, and learn to rely on themselves. By completing these levels of treatment, people leave rehab better prepared to stay sober on their own. Cigna covers many types of rehab programs, including inpatient services, and outpatient programs as well as therapy sessions (individual, group, and family), medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and holistic treatment services.
Detoxification is usually the first step in rehab. Under the watch of medical detox professionals, people go through withdrawal to get rid of harmful substances in their bodies. After that, they learn how to stay sober by talking about their addiction. Cigna covers detox in many of their plans, so check your policy to see how it works for you.
Residential inpatient treatment is intense care you get at a facility to beat addiction to drugs or alcohol. Cigna usually covers this type of treatment. Insurance has two main parts: inpatient and outpatient care. But your policy might have different coverage for inpatient rehab compared to being in the hospital as an inpatient. Both mean you stay at a facility for constant care. Some insurance plans might have specific rules about the kind of treatment they cover. But since addiction treatment is considered medical care, you should get some benefits for residential inpatient care. How long you stay depends on what you need, but you might be in inpatient treatment for up to a month or more. After that, many people move on to outpatient care.
Partial hospitalization (PHP) is a type of outpatient treatment that’s more intense than other outpatient programs, but still gives you more freedom to go back to your regular life and routines while you’re getting help. Lots of Cigna plans pay for PHP, and because it’s outpatient, it can cost less than staying in a residential program. Most Cigna plans include PHP. Check your policy to see if there are any rules about how much PHP they cover.
Intensive outpatient (IOP) allows clients to receive scaled-back treatment during the daytimes and return to responsibilities at home. It’s a flexible outpatient program for those who can manage a level of independence in sobriety maintenance. Many Cigna plans provide coverage for intensive outpatient care. Fortunately, outpatient treatment is usually affordable because it can be covered similar to visits with care providers.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a type of rehab for substance abuse or mental health issues that involves using prescription medications. Case managers work closely with clients to ensure they get the right medications to manage their symptoms effectively. This could involve short-term medications to ease withdrawal during detox or longer-term prescriptions to improve overall well-being. It’s important that individuals receive proper treatment for their condition, and insurance can help cover the costs.
Typically, insurance covers medications that are approved by the FDA for substance use disorders (SUD) and mental illness. The most common being used for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD) However, you might need precertification to qualify for coverage. It’s also important to check your co-pay for prescriptions, as you may need to pay a certain amount out of pocket before your insurance starts covering the costs.
The list of FDA-approved drugs for alcohol addiction include:
FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of opioid use disorder include:
These drugs should only be used under the guidance and supervision of addiction treatment professionals. South Coast Behavioral Health can help you find an addiction treatment program covered by Cigna insurance.
About one in four Americans aged 18 and older deal with mental illness. Many of them also face substance use disorder (SUD) alongside their mental health challenges. Cigna provides coverage for mental health issues in many of its policies. Mental health services and substance abuse rehab are usually covered under the same category, called behavioral health. So, your plan might cover things like therapy, counseling, and medication. To see what’s covered and how much you’ll have to pay, check your own plan details.
Some common mental health disorders that insurance cover include:
