Frequently Asked Questions About Blue Cross Blue Shield Coverage for Detox

Will my Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance cover drug and alcohol detox?

Most Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance policies cover treatment for addiction, such as drug rehab and detox, but coverage specifics are based on the policy you have chosen. Health insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield varies by state, and BCBS offers several different tiered plans that may affect your final cost, so it’s important to verify your individual coverage and determine exactly how much you will need to pay out-of-pocket. Depending on your policy, you may be required to pay a small or generous portion of the total cost of detox treatment.

What types of detox does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover?

Most Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance plans cover medical detox if it is proven to be necessary. For this to happen, you may need a referral from your doctor. Most often, medical detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioid drugs is considered necessary, as withdrawal from these drugs can be dangerous or even life-threatening. Even if you need to detox from another type of drug, your BCBS health insurance policy may cover medical detox treatment for it.

How can I verify my Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance coverage?

If you would like to use your health insurance benefits to pay for a medical detox program, you will need to verify your coverage. The verification process tells you exactly how much of the cost of detox your health insurance provider will cover and how much will be left for you to pay out-of-pocket.
At Briarwood Detox Center, we offer a free insurance verification to help you determine your coverage for treatment. All you have to do is call. We can complete the insurance verification in a matter of minutes while you hold on the phone. The process is completely confidential and obligation-free.

Will anyone else on my insurance policy be notified if a verification of benefits is completed?

No one else on your insurance policy will be notified if you request a benefits verification and your personal information is safe with us.

Do I have to commit to treatment if Briarwood completes a verification of benefits for me?

If we complete an insurance benefits verification, you are not obligated to enroll in any treatment program at our facility.

Do I have to pay to begin the admissions and insurance verification process?

We believe that affordable care is an essential part of finding the right detox program, so our aim is to make that possible by helping you verify your benefits prior to enrollment. The admissions process and insurance verification are free for all of our potential clients.

If Blue Cross Blue Shield will not cover the full cost of detox, how can I pay for the remaining balance?

Depending on the health insurance policy you have selected, Blue Cross and Blue Shield may not cover the complete cost of medical detox at Briarwood Detox Center. If we verify your insurance and find this to be true, there are still other payment options you can use instead of or in addition to your benefits to reduce the cost of treatment. Alternative payment options may include:

What other benefits does Blue Cross Blue Shield offer for addiction treatment?
