Aetna rehab coverage can help Aetna members pay for inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol addiction treatment services.
If you’re looking for treatment for drug or alcohol addiction, many plans will include Aetna rehab coverage. You can contact your insurer directly or reach out to a Recovery Advocate at The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake for coverage verification. Many Aetna plans will cover inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment.
Based on membership, Aetna is the third-largest health insurance provider in the country. CVS bought the company several years ago, leading to more treatment options. In 2022, Aetna announced it would offer individual plans through Affordable Care Act exchanges.

Medication-assisted treatments that Aetna may cover for treating opioid use disorders are Suboxone, which is buprenorphine and naloxone and methadone. FDA-approved drugs may also help treat alcohol dependence.
