Understand your coverage options
Before you commit to a treatment program, it’s important to know how Humana insurance can support your recovery journey. Navigating plan details can feel overwhelming when you’re balancing work and family, but understanding in-network benefits, plan types and authorization requirements will put you in control of your care.
How Humana plans work
Humana offers a variety of plans, including preferred provider organizations (PPOs), health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and Medicare Advantage options. While each plan differs, most include coverage for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit under the Affordable Care Act. Coverage may extend to:
- Inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment
- Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), such as Suboxone and methadone
- Individual, group and family therapy
According to The Recovery Village, members often must meet deductible and coinsurance requirements before full coverage applies [1]. In addition, you may need prior authorization for services like detox, PHP or acute inpatient care.
Comparing in-network and out-of-network
One of the fastest ways to maximize your benefits is to choose an in-network provider. Humana’s Behavioral Health Network includes specialized facilities and outpatient programs, which can lower your out-of-pocket costs. When you seek care out of network, you may face:
- Higher deductibles and coinsurance
- Limited or no coverage for luxury or private rehab facilities
- Possible denial of services without a network referral
| Plan type | Flexibility | Network restrictions |
|---|---|---|
| PPO | You can see out-of-network providers, often at higher cost | No referral needed; higher premiums |
| HMO | Lower premiums, set copays | Must stay in network; PCP referral required |
Authorization and verification
To make sure your treatment is covered:
- Review your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) or Summary of Benefits.
- Contact Humana Behavioral Health online or by phone to verify substance use benefits.
- Ask your provider to submit any required pre-authorization for PHP, IOP, MAT or therapy.
Humana’s online verification tool can confirm deductibles, copays and network status in minutes [1]. By preparing in advance, you’ll avoid surprises and focus on healing.
Explore levels of care
At The Hope House, we offer a step-down continuum of outpatient services so you can balance recovery with daily obligations. Whether you need a structured PHP or a flexible IOP, our programs provide the support necessary for lasting recovery.
Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
A PHP bridges the gap between inpatient detox and outpatient therapy. You’ll spend several hours each day at our facility, engaging in:
- Individual and group therapy
- Medication management
- Skills workshops (stress management, relapse prevention)
- Family sessions
This level of care is ideal when you require medical oversight but also want to return home each evening.
Humana coverage details
Humana typically covers PHP when it’s deemed medically necessary. You may need:
- Pre-authorization from a Humana Behavioral Health case manager
- A referral from your primary care physician or psychiatrist
- Documentation of prior treatment attempts or clinical assessment
Your copays and coinsurance will depend on plan specifics. To learn more about how PHP can support your journey, explore our PHP substance abuse program covered by Humana.
Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
If you’re ready to rejoin work or school but still need structured support, an IOP might be the right fit. You’ll attend:
- 9–15 hours of therapy per week
- Flexible evening or weekend sessions
- Peer support groups
- Family education events
IOP provides accountability and community while you maintain your daily routine.
Insurance benefits
Most Humana plans cover IOP at similar levels to PHP, with lower cost-sharing than inpatient care. You may still need:
- Prior authorization
- Co-payments per therapy session
- Proof of medical necessity
By choosing an IOP, you gain continuity of care and the ability to smoothly transition into less intensive services over time.
Access medication-assisted treatment
Medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, combines FDA-approved medications with counseling to address the biological and behavioral aspects of addiction. At The Hope House, we offer MAT as part of a comprehensive, evidence-based approach.
Role of MAT in recovery
MAT helps stabilize brain chemistry, reduces withdrawal symptoms and lowers the risk of relapse. Common medications include:
- Buprenorphine (Suboxone)
- Methadone
- Naltrexone
These medications support long-term recovery when paired with therapy, life skills training and peer support in a supportive environment.
Suboxone coverage with Humana
Humana plans often cover Suboxone under their pharmacy benefits. To access MAT with minimal cost:
- Obtain a prescription from a licensed MAT provider.
- Verify your pharmacy tier and copay for Suboxone.
- Confirm that The Hope House is in-network for MAT services.
For details on benefits and enrollment, see our MAT treatment covered by Humana insurance. In addition, Humana may require periodic reviews to ensure continued medical necessity. By combining MAT with our tailored treatment programs, you receive comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and psychological facets of addiction.
Benefit from outpatient therapy
Therapy is a cornerstone of lasting recovery. At The Hope House, you can access individual, group and family counseling that fits your schedule and needs.
Individual counseling
Your one-on-one sessions focus on:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Motivational interviewing
- Trauma-informed care
- Relapse prevention planning
These evidence-based approaches help you uncover root causes of substance use and develop healthy coping strategies.
Humana benefits
Individual therapy is typically covered under your outpatient mental health benefits. Coverage may include:
- A set number of sessions per year
- Copay or coinsurance per visit
- Pre-authorization for extended treatment
Most Humana plans cover medically necessary counseling to treat substance use disorders as part of behavioral health benefits.
Group and family therapy
Recovery thrives in a community. Our group sessions and family workshops provide:
- Peer support and shared experiences
- Education on addiction’s impact on relationships
- Communication and boundary-setting skills
- Aftercare planning with loved ones
Insurance considerations
Group and family therapy are generally covered under the same outpatient mental health benefits as individual counseling. Copays may be lower for group sessions, and family therapy often requires pre-authorization.
