Using North Carolina Cigna Health Insurance for Addiction Treatment

Cigna offers health insurance plans that help cover addiction treatment and rehab. Contacting a reputable substance misuse provider, like American Addiction Centers (AAC), is a helpful first step in finding rehabs that take Cigna health insurance. An admissions navigator can help guide you through the process of verifying insurance and beginning your recovery journey.

What Is Cigna Health Insurance?

Cigna Healthcare provides global health plans, has over 190 million customers, and has been evolving for 230 years.1,2 Due to the many people in North Carolina who struggle with substance misuse, Cigna rehab coverage is vital for well-being. In 2022, 36,683 people in North Carolina sought treatment for substance misuse.3 Cigna is devoted to assisting residents in their addiction recovery efforts.

North Carolina Cigna Health Insurance Plans

Cigna Health offers a wide range of plans for individuals and families. These plans fall within their tiered levels, which include:4

  • Bronze health plan: The bronze tier will cover 60% of services and has a low monthly cost.
  • Silver health plan: With this plan, you will pay for 30% of care.
  • Gold health plan: A gold level is a higher cost per month but will cover 80% of treatment services.
  • Platinum health plan: With this plan, you will pay for 10% of care.

Does Cigna Cover Inpatient Drug Rehab in North Carolina?

Yes. Cigna can help pay some or all of the cost of inpatient rehab. You can check with an admissions navigator about the extent of inpatient Cigna substance abuse coverage. An inpatient program is a crucial part of recovery for those with more severe addiction issues or who elect an environment separate from their everyday routine.5 An addiction specialist and/or physician will work with you to determine what program(s) you need.

North Carolina Outpatient Drug Rehab Cigna Coverage

Cigna will cover at least part of the cost of outpatient drug rehab. Outpatient care may serve as a step-down level of care after an inpatient treatment program, or patients may enter directly into an outpatient program. This decision is made by a patient’s physician and/or addiction specialist based on various factors, such as living situation, level of addiction, and relapse history.

Outpatient programs are convenient for some patients since the ability to work, go to school, and/or attend to other responsibilities may be less interrupted. However, some patients may require the 24/7 care and medical attention that inpatient treatment provides. An outpatient program consists of regularly scheduled meetings with therapists.5

Does Cigna Cover Mental Health in North Carolina?

Yes. You can receive treatment for a mental health disorder when you are participating in a Cigna drug rehab program. Since co-occurring disorders (mental health disorder and substance use disorder) are common with those in recovery, it’s helpful to find a facility that offers co-occurring disorder treatment.6

During your time in Cigna rehab, you’ll be involved in various therapies based on your therapist’s recommendations. Some of these therapies may include:
