What Is Community Health Choice?
Community Health Choice is a managed care organization that provides health insurance plans, including coverage for substance use disorder.1 It focuses on serving low-income individuals and families in Texas, offering a range of healthcare services and benefits to help address substance abuse issues.1 Through its network of providers, Community Health Choice aims to promote accessible and affordable treatment options for those seeking assistance in overcoming addiction and managing substance use disorders effectively.1
Does Community Health Choice Cover Addiction Treatment?
Yes, Community Health Choice covers drug and alcohol addiction treatment. However, the extent of coverage varies.1
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) plays a significant role in ensuring that insurance companies, including Community Health Choice, provide coverage for mental health treatments, which includes substance use disorder (SUD) treatment.2 The ACA mandates that insurance plans offer some degree of coverage for SUD treatment, ensuring that individuals struggling with addiction can access the care and support they need.2
The extent of coverage varies depending on several factors such as the length of the treatment required and whether the treatment facility is in-network. In-network facilities typically have negotiated agreements with the insurance provider, resulting in more comprehensive coverage options, while out-of-network facilities may have higher out-of-pocket expenses.
