How Medicare Covers Addiction Treatment
Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and New York State insurance regulations, Medicare (Parts A & B) is required to cover substance use disorder treatment at the same level as other medical conditions. This means your Medicare plan cannot impose stricter limitations on addiction treatment than on physical health services.
Coverage typically begins with a pre-authorization or utilization review process. When you call our helpline at 631-762-3763, we handle this process for you at no cost — verifying your specific plan benefits, confirming in-network providers, and determining your out-of-pocket costs before you commit to treatment.
What to Expect During Verification
- We collect your Medicare member ID and group number
- Our team contacts Medicare directly to verify active coverage
- We confirm which levels of care are covered (detox, inpatient, IOP, outpatient)
- We identify your deductible, copay, and out-of-pocket maximum
- We match you with in-network Long Island treatment providers
Levels of Care Typically Covered
Most Medicare plans cover the full continuum of addiction treatment care, though specific benefits vary by plan type (HMO, PPO, EPO). Medical necessity determines the appropriate level of care, starting with the least restrictive setting that can safely address your needs.
