Understanding Your AmeriHealth Coverage for Addiction Treatment
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), AmeriHealth insurance plans are required to provide coverage for substance use disorders as one of the 10 essential health benefits. This means that treatment for drug and alcohol addiction must be covered with benefits comparable to general medical coverage.
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 further protects your access to care by requiring that deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket maximums, and treatment limitations for substance use disorders be no more restrictive than those for other medical care.
