Does Blue Cross Blue Shield Cover Drug Rehab?
If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) insurance, your benefits may include coverage for drug rehabilitation and/or other forms of drug treatment. Many BCBS policies include coverage for various types of drug rehab, including certain types of inpatient and outpatient care.
However, it is important to understand that Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance is provided through 36 independently operated companies that are located throughout the United States, as well as by licensees that are authorized to provide BCBS coverage outside the U.S. For example, in Wilmington, Raleigh, and other parts of North Carolina, Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage is provided through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina. Given the wide range of BCBS policies, it will be important for you to confirm the specifics of the policy that you hold through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.
One of the many services that we provide at Wilmington Treatment Center is working with individuals such as yourself to help you determine whether or not your Blue Cross Blue Shield policy will cover drug rehab.
What Types of Drug Rehab Does Blue Cross Blue Shield Cover?

After an individual has completed a residential or inpatient program, depending upon his or her progress and ongoing needs, he or she may either return home or transition into a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or an intensive outpatient program (IOP).
Some BCBS insurance policies cover inpatient treatment, residential treatment, partial hospitalization programs, and intensive outpatient programs. As noted in the answer to the previous question, the types of drug rehab that Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina will cover will depend upon the specifics of your policy.

For example, some Blue Cross Blue Shield policies may involve annual or calendar year limitations on the cost of drug rehab that the insurance provider will pay for, while other policies may place lifetime caps on financial expenditures for drug rehab.
