Meritain Alcohol Rehab and Drug Rehab Coverage Explained – Get the Support You Deserve at Purpose Healing Center
Using Meritain Rehab Coverage for Treatment at Purpose Healing
People decide to seek treatment for alcohol addiction for many reasons. Maybe a loved one has voiced their concerns, or you’ve finally recognized how alcohol is damaging your life. Or, maybe you’ve gotten in legal trouble and attending rehab is something required by the courts.
It doesn’t matter why you’ve decided to get help, but when you do arrive there, we believe getting that help should be as easy as possible. Our compassionate team at Purpose Healing is ready to answer your questions about Meritain alcohol rehab and drug rehab coverage and get you admitted sooner.
That’s why, when you call, we’ll answer your questions, get insurance verified over the phone, and get you started on the road to recovery.
Understanding Meritain Health Insurance
Understanding whether you’ll have coverage for drug and alcohol rehab starts with understanding what Meritain Insurance plans cover. Meritain Health Insurance takes a slightly different approach to benefits available to members, from 24/7 teledoc appointments to price transparency for copays and condition management.
Seeking help at an addiction treatment center is easier using Meritain because of upfront pricing and a huge network of providers.
What Different Meritain Plans Mean
Most people who hold Meritain health insurance have coverage through their employer. Meritain has a strong focus on employee wellness, standing on the principle that healthier employees are a better asset to companies. Part of this wellness is making drug and alcohol addiction treatment accessible to people who need it.
Some health insurance plans offer total coverage for the costs of rehab, while others have a copay. There may be a limit on how long you can stay at a rehab facility covered by insurance.
No matter what the specifics of your plan are, we can help you understand them when you reach out to Purpose Healing. The treatment process starts with verifying your insurance over the phone. From there, we can answer your questions and start shaping your personalized treatment plan so you don’t have to worry about rehab costs.
The Relationship Between Meritain and Aetna Insurance Providers
Meritain Health Insurance is a third-party administrator of Aetna and also partners with CVS Health. That doesn’t mean that you have Aetna health insurance benefits, but you do have access to Aetna’s nationwide network of doctors.
Meritain’s partnership with Aetna makes finding a drug and alcohol rehab program that much easier. Aetna’s network offers nationwide access to 1.6 million providers nationwide, including 600,000 behavioral specialists like our care team at Purpose Healing.

Can I Use Meritain Insurance at Purpose Healing?
At our facilities in Phoenix and Scottsdale, we accept Aetna insurance plans. This means if you have Meritain Health Insurance, our residential and outpatient programs are likely covered.
The first step to getting treatment is verifying health insurance. Our admissions team is available any time of day or night, ready to help you take the first step in recovery. Insurance verification lets you know what to expect as far as rehab costs. We can also customize your recovery plan using your insurance, making treatment more affordable.
Get Help Fast with Meritain Coverage at Purpose
It can be frustrating when you find that glimmer of hope in yourself to fight against addiction, only to be told to wait. The insurance company might tell you to wait on the phone while they make suggestions or you might hear that you can’t get help now, and you have to wait for pre approval.
Purpose Healing takes care of this “waiting” period for you. We use our provider portal to get you verified in minutes, making it quick and easy to start the road to recovery. With two locations, we can get you off the waitlist and into treatment sooner.
Will My Employer Find Out If I Get Treatment for Drug or Alcohol Addiction?
One of the biggest questions that we get from people considering addiction treatment programs with Meritain Health Insurance is whether their employer will be able to find out about treatment. There are protections in place for employees actively in recovery, as well as those who have had past alcohol or drug problems.
Still, you may be worried about the stigmas surrounding addiction if someone were to find out.
Federal HIPAA guidelines are not just for doctors. We share minimal information with your insurance company – just enough for billing purposes. Purpose takes this a step further by protecting your identity from people who might call our facility looking for you. Unless you give us written permission, we will not confirm or deny that you’re at our treatment center to anyone who calls.

Does Meritain Cover Rehab Costs?
Don’t let worries about treatment costs hold you back from getting help that could change your life. Substance abuse is classified as a behavioral health problem and Meritain Health offers behavioral health treatment at facilities all over the United States.
Even though you’ll likely be covered for most addiction treatment services, Meritain Health sometimes requires preauthorization or copays. This depends on your specific health plan.
Fortunately, contacting Purpose Healing directly can take some of the guesswork out of what you’ll need to pay for substance abuse disorder treatment. We’ll answer your questions about copays and total treatment costs.
Worried about not being able to cover your copayment? We can also discuss payment alternatives and where to get help paying for the costs of addiction treatment. There are many resources available.
Inpatient Rehab Services Usually Covered by Insurance
Under the Affordable Care Act, health insurance companies are required to provide the same standard of coverage for behavioral and mental health treatment as they would for physical problems. Meritain Health plans adhere to these guidelines, meaning most (if not all) elements of our inpatient rehab programs are covered.
Medical Detox
Withdrawal is the big, uncomfortable, first step in recovery that many people struggle with. When you try to quit on your own, the symptoms you experience make it hard not to give into the craving to drink or use drugs again. Some withdrawal symptoms can even be dangerous.
When you choose Purpose for medical detox, you won’t have to go through this ugly first step alone. We provide medical supervision for more dangerous symptoms and use medication-assisted detox when appropriate to relieve symptoms and make you more comfortable.
Comprehensive Substance Abuse Treatment
While getting clean is an important first step, what you do with your time in treatment also matters. Our comprehensive approach involves everything from individual, group, and family therapy to structure, recreational activities, and nutritional support. You’ll take the insight, habits, and coping skills you learn with you after rehab to help you on your recovery journey.
Dual Diagnosis
Sometimes, problems with drug and alcohol use come from something deeper. You might be struggling with your mood, feeling depressed, or living with memories of past trauma. When mental health conditions play a role in addiction, dual diagnosis can help. You can get dual diagnosis treatment using Meritain Health Insurance coverage.
Do I Have to Choose an In-Network Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
Even though you can go outside of your insurance provider’s network for addiction treatment, this usually leads to higher out-of-pocket expenses. Depending on your plan, Meritain may not offer any coverage for out-of-network care.
Fortunately, when you work with Purpose Healing, you don’t have to choose between accredited, higher-quality care and the lower costs associated with choosing an in-network facility for care.
Will I Have a Copay for Rehab with Meritain Insurance?
Many Meritain Health plans have an out-of-pocket cost called a copayment for rehab. The exact amount is going to depend on things like what plan you have, your deductible, and other factors. It can seem intimidating to try and figure this out on your own, so call Purpose directly.
We’ll help you determine the limits of Meritain Health insurance coverage and come up with a plan that fits your treatment needs and your budget.
Does Meritain Cover Outpatient Treatment Options?
Inpatient rehab isn’t an option for everyone, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get help. When you choose outpatient rehab programs, there’s more flexibility in treatment. You also have the comfort of going home at night, especially if your home environment supports your recovery.
Will Meritain Health Cover Partial Hospitalization Programs?
Partial hospitalization outpatient programs are a good choice when inpatient rehab isn’t an option, offering highly structured care stretched across several hours on different days of the week. Purpose offers flexible hours and coverage for this type of treatment through Meritain Health plans.
Partial hospitalization programs contain similar elements to residential treatment, from medication management to individual and group therapy. The biggest difference is that after treatment at our recovery center, you’ll be able to go home.
Will Meritain Health Cover Intensive Outpatient Programs?
Meritain Health also covers outpatient treatment services like intensive outpatient programs. These are slightly less of a time commitment than a partial hospitalization program, while still providing high levels of structured care.
Ongoing Mental Health Services
Healing from addiction doesn’t end once you leave rehab. Meritain also covers ongoing outpatient treatment services, including psychiatry, medication management, therapy, and case management. Having support like this is going to be an important part of relapse prevention planning and lasting recovery.
