Dakotacare health insurance policies require you to pay $30 as a co-pay per visit to a mental or behavioral health specialist for outpatient services.

• Inpatient addiction treatment is covered by Dakotacare. Your cost if you use a participating provider for substance use disorder inpatient services (could be a drug rehab) is 30% coinsurance. However, you must use one of the Dakotacare providers and get preauthorization. This means you can get treated for alcoholism, cocaine abuse, meth abuse, heroin addiction, and other substance abuse problems; both for drug detox and alcohol detox and drug rehab and alcohol rehab. But always find out the details.
