What Is Beacon Health Insurance?

Beacon Health Options (now known as Carelon Behavioral Health) provides behavioral health solutions to people nationwide.1 The company focuses on behavioral health, which includes substance misuse treatment.2 Beacon offers behavioral care, crisis solutions, specialty care services, well-being programs, and assistance for military members and veterans.2

Does Beacon Health Cover Rehab in Virginia?

Beacon Health Options has 115,000 providers that accept their coverage across the U.S., meaning they cover rehab in Virginia and other parts of the country.3 While Beacon isn’t a health insurance plan that has to follow the Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates, the company is focused on providing behavioral health solutions such as mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. The extent of services covered by a Beacon plan varies depending on your specific policy. However, your claim can’t be denied due to federal laws like ACA.3 The ACA provides that insurance agencies must cover their members for the essentials of medical and mental health care, which includes substance abuse services.3

What Types of Addiction Treatments Are Covered by Beacon in Virginia?

Beacon Health in Virginia can cover various levels of addiction treatment, but the exact coverage amounts will vary based on various factors, such as your policy and specific needs.

The various treatment levels you can expect to see at a Beacon rehab center include the following:4

  • Detox is often the first step in recovery. It is a process in addiction treatment designed to help patients go through withdrawal while in a medically supervised setting. This helps maintain their comfort and safety.
  • Inpatient rehab includes living full-time at a facility so patients can receive 24-hour care, monitoring, and support from professional staff. This can help patients focus on their recovery without the distraction of daily life.
  • Outpatient rehab allows patients to live at home and attend treatment during the day. Outpatient rehab can vary greatly from standard programs that meet weekly to intensive outpatient programs (IOP) or partial hospitalization programs (PHP) that meet daily.
  • Aftercare refers to any ongoing care and treatment to support a patient’s recovery.

 

Does Beacon Cover Co-Occurring Addiction and Mental Health Disorders?

You can expect Beacon Health Options to help cover the costs of a co-occurring disorder diagnosis. Co-occurring disorders are common in patients who have mental health disorders, such as co-occurring depression and substance use disorder (SUD).5 The cause of co-occurring disorders is not known, but researchers do note a link between the two conditions.5

The extent of your Beacon insurance coverage is dependent on the type of policy you have. It’s best to confirm your insurance coverage with the rehab facility beforehand so that there won’t be any surprise expenses.
