Does UCHealth Plan Cover Drug & Alcohol Rehab?
Yes. The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake is an in-network provider with UCHealth Plan, the health plan affiliated with the University of Colorado health system, one of Colorado’s most trusted academic medical networks. This means your UCHealth Plan plan may cover part or all of the cost of addiction treatment at our Joint Commission-accredited facility in Palmer Lake, Colorado.
UCHealth Plan Coverage for Addiction Treatment
Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), health insurance plans including UCHealth Plan are required to cover substance use disorder treatment at parity with medical/surgical benefits. This typically includes:
- Medical Detoxification — Inpatient, medically supervised withdrawal management
- Inpatient / Residential Rehabilitation — 24/7 structured treatment in a residential setting
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP) — Intensive daytime treatment (20+ hours/week)
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — Flexible outpatient therapy (9–12 hours/week)
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) — FDA-approved medications (Suboxone, Vivitrol, etc.)
- Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment — Integrated care for addiction plus mental health conditions
Understanding Your UCHealth Plan Benefits
While UCHealth Plan covers addiction treatment, your specific out-of-pocket costs will depend on your individual plan. Key factors include:
- Deductible — The amount you pay before insurance coverage begins
- Copayment / Coinsurance — Your share of costs after the deductible is met
- Out-of-Pocket Maximum — The most you’ll pay in a plan year before UCHealth Plan covers 100%
- Prior Authorization — Some plans require pre-approval for residential treatment
- In-Network vs. Out-of-Network — As an in-network facility, your costs at The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake will typically be lower
