Does Midlands Choice Cover Addiction Treatment?
Midlands Choice is a regional preferred provider organization (PPO) network with a robust selection of healthcare providers, including hospitals, physicians, and specialists across the Midwest. With a mission to improve community health by offering access to a diverse network, Midlands Choice collaborates with health plans, third-party administrators, and self-insured employers. It strives for value through comprehensive healthcare solutions, negotiating competitive provider reimbursement rates, and ensuring quality care. While Midlands Choice operates primarily in the Midwest region, it extends its services through partnerships to offer broader coverage nationwide, making it a significant player in providing accessible 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.
