Your Anthem coverage for addiction treatment depends on your specific plan. Factors like whether you have a PPO or HMO, your deductible, and if the rehab is in-network will affect your out-of-pocket costs.

Anthem provides medical, dental, vision, and pharmacy plans, and is also a licensee of Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), operating as Anthem BCBS in several states. This partnership allows those members to utilize the extensive nationwide BCBS provider network. Coastal Detox of Southern California is able to accept several regional Anthem BCBS plans, including:
Yes, Anthem BCBS insurance covers alcohol rehab as an essential healthcare service. Whether Anthem BCBS covers the full cost of alcohol rehab or just a percentage depends on the patient’s plan, their deductible and copay amounts, how much the patient has already paid out of pocket for healthcare in the calendar year, and whether the alcohol rehab is an in-network provider. With most Anthem and Anthem BCBS insurance policies, patients have the freedom to choose any alcohol rehab they wish, but the greatest cost savings is most likely in network. Like most alcohol rehabs, Coastal Detox of Southern California can verify the patient’s Anthem benefits over the phone or through our HIPAA-compliant web form.
Yes, Anthem BCBS insurance covers drug rehab. Whether you are seeking rehab for a prescription drug addiction or for illicit substances like fentanyl or meth, Anthem and Anthem BCBS plans cover addiction rehab as an essential healthcare benefit. The rehab center will work with Anthem to ensure your benefits are maximized and that their programming meets all requirements for sustained coverage. Like most drug rehabs that take Anthem BCBS, Coastal Detox of Southern California can verify your specific policy benefits right over the phone, so you’ll know exactly how much out of pocket, if anything, you can expect to pay for treatment.

How much rehab costs without insurance will depend on the facility you choose, your length of stay, and the level of care received, all of which are influenced by your substance of abuse and the length of time you’ve been using. In San Diego County, most residential detox and rehab facilities charge anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 per day. This rate includes a bed in a shared room, all meals (including snacks and beverages), consultations with licensed medical professionals, 24/7 medical monitoring, treatment and comfort medications (e.g., anti-nausea or sleep aids), individual sessions with a licensed therapist, group therapy and holistic therapeutic activities and outings. Substances like opioids, alcohol, and benzos have longer withdrawal periods and require longer stays in medical detox and perhaps ongoing medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Other substances like cocaine, meth, and non-opioid prescription drugs have much shorter withdrawal timelines and patients can move into lower levels of care much sooner.
Typically there is no limit on the number of times insurance will pay for rehab as long as the rehab facility is able to show that addiction treatment is medically necessary. Medical necessity is demonstrated with drug tests and clinical diagnoses by medical professionals that are submitted directly to your insurance provider. Depending on your drug of abuse, your insurance may only cover outpatient levels of care, such as a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP), but as long as treatment is medically necessary your insurance can’t deny coverage just because you’ve been treated before.
Addiction is treatable. Support is available. And with your Anthem insurance, help might be more affordable than you think.
