What Does UnitedHealthcare Cover?
UnitedHealthcare provides comprehensive coverage for addiction treatment services under federal parity laws. Most UnitedHealthcare plans include coverage for the full continuum of care — from initial assessment and medical detoxification through inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, and aftercare support.
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires UnitedHealthcare to provide addiction treatment benefits at the same level as medical/surgical benefits. This means your plan must cover substance abuse treatment with comparable deductibles, copays, and limitations as other medical conditions.
