Frequently Asked Questions About Humana Coverage for Detox

Will my Humana insurance cover drug and alcohol detox?

Humana Behavioral Health, a subsidiary of Humana, provides a wide range of behavioral health services including substance abuse treatment programs. Your drug detox may be covered by Humana, but the amount of coverage varies greatly based on several factors, such as the type of substance abuse treatment program, where you live, and the limitations of your individual insurance policy, among other things.

What types of detox does Humana cover?

Most Humana plans cover inpatient and outpatient detox. The benefits outlined in your policy will determine which detox centers Humana works with as well as how much of the cost of detox is covered.

How can I verify my Humana insurance coverage?

Verifying your Humana insurance coverage is quick and easy when you do it with Briarwood. All you have to do is give us a call and complete the insurance verification process over the phone. It’s completely confidential and only takes a few minutes. You may also verify your Humana benefits online by filling out the form on this page. All the information you provide will remain confidential and protected.

Will anyone else on my insurance policy be notified if a verification of benefits is completed?

No one else on your policy will be notified when you verify your Humana benefits. We will need to contact Humana directly to complete the process, but no one else will be made aware of the request.

Do I have to commit to treatment if Briarwood completes a verification of benefits for me?

No. Once we verify your Humana benefits for detox, the choice is yours to make. Insurance verification is a free service we provide to potential detox clients.

Do I have to pay to begin the admissions and insurance verification process?

No. There is no fee to begin the admissions process or to verify your insurance benefits with Humana. Our goal is to make finding and enrolling in a detox center an easy, convenient, and affordable process for you and your loved ones.

If Humana will not cover the full cost of detox, how can I pay for the remaining balance?

If the limitations of your Humana policy leave a balance for you to pay out-of-pocket, we will provide several different payment options for you and your family to consider. These additional payment options may include third-party healthcare loans, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), or HSA funds.

What other benefits does Humana offer for addiction treatment?

Humana Behavioral Health also provides coverage for inpatient rehab, outpatient rehab, and prescription medications. Your behavioral health benefits may also provide access to additional services that address common co-occurring conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, or anxiety.
