Under the Affordable Care Act, you are entitled to drug detox or drug rehab programs, either in Idaho, Utah or other states. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the vast majority of Americans are entitled to essential health benefits under their insurance plan. In other words, when a health benefit is considered essential, health insurance plans are legally required to cover it. Thankfully, the list of essential health benefits includes mental and behavioral health services, including addiction treatment. According to the ACA website, essential health benefits include three specific areas related to addiction treatment: behavioral health, mental health, and treatment for substance use and substance abuse disorders.
Even better, Pacific Source is now an in-network insurance provider with Ashwood Recovery. This essentially means that you can receive all of the necessary addiction treatment services - from assessment to group meetings - at our facility for a substantially reduced cost. The particulars of what will be covered under PacSource depends on your specific insurance plan. However, the vast majority of the drug rehab benefits you need for recovery will be covered through PacSource.

Many insurance companies, including PacSource, require preauthorization for most addiction treatment services. This process makes sense, since it ensures that the patient, the treatment facility, and the insurance provider are all on the same page when it comes to what is and what is not covered. Though PacSource is now in-network with Ashwood Recovery in Idaho, the insurance provider still requires preauthorization for many of our drug rehab services.

Just because PacSource is an in-network health insurance provider with Ashwood Recovery does not mean that you will not have to pay anything at all for our addiction treatment programs. Most insurance companies still require individuals to pay the deductible for nearly health benefit, including mental health and addiction treatment services. The amount of this deductible varies depending on which insurance policy you have with PacSource - many deductibles are capped at around $2500 per year. The fact that PacSource is in-network with our facility means that once this deductible is met, the insurance provider will likely cover the rest of treatment. Reach out to your PacSource representative today to find out what your deductible is. You can find more information about individual health insurance plans - and what they mean for the cost of drug rehab - on PacSource's website.

Out-of-network facilities, in contrast, have no guarantee that costs beyond the deductible will be met.
