Does Clover Health Cover Addiction Treatment?
Clover Health is a health insurance provider focused on creating a more equitable healthcare system through Medicare Advantage plans. Founded in 2014 and based in Franklin, Tennessee, Clover Health uses its technology platform to offer a range of Medicare Advantage plan options that cater to a diverse clientele. The innovativeness of Clover Health stems from its use of data and analytics to improve health outcomes and simplify insurance processes for its members. While it doesn't have a parent company, Clover Health has rapidly grown due to its unique approach to healthcare partnerships and proactive member services focusing on personalized healthcare solutions.
Two federal laws make coverage for substance use disorder treatment close to universal in the United States. The Affordable Care Act lists mental health and substance use disorder services among the ten essential health benefits that individual and small-group plans must include. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA) goes further: when a plan covers behavioral health, it may not impose financial requirements or treatment limitations more restrictive than those applied to comparable medical and surgical care.
What differs from member to member is not usually whether treatment is covered but how much you pay and what approval is required — and both come down to your specific plan, network status and deductible. The fastest way to find out is a benefits check, which takes a few minutes and costs nothing.
