    How To Determine Geisinger Health Plan Benefits For Substance Abuse Treatment

    When you decide that it’s time to learn more about mental health or substance use disorder treatment, it can be tough to know where to start. 

    One of the first steps you can take is to learn more about your health insurance coverage for alcohol or drug addiction treatment. Your coverage will likely depend on your individual policy. 

    Some first steps to learn more about your insurance coverage at an addiction treatment center include: 

    • calling the phone number on your health insurance card
    • reaching out to a representative of your health insurance plan directly
    • reading your policy online to learn more about your coverage
    • calling a treatment center directly to learn whether they accept your health insurance

    Does Geisinger Health Plan Cover Detoxification Programs?

    In many cases, detoxification is fully or partially covered by Geisinger Health Plan. 

    Management of withdrawal symptoms can be an important part of the recovery process, and supervised medical detox can provide you with the support you need to have a successful start to recovery.

    Does Geisinger Health Plan Cover Inpatient Drug Or Alcohol Rehab?

    Inpatient rehab offers clients the chance to reside at the treatment facility. This intense form of treatment provides peer support groups, mental health services, and an individualized treatment plan. 

    While your coverage will depend on your plan, Geisinger Health Plan often fully or partially covers inpatient treatment.

    Does Geisinger Health Plan Cover Outpatient Drug Or Alcohol Rehab?

    Understandably, it’s not possible for everyone to attend inpatient rehab. During outpatient rehab, patients travel to and from the facility each day. In many cases, outpatient treatment is just as effective as inpatient treatment. 

    Your Geisinger Health Plan may fully or partially cover your outpatient treatment.

    Does Geisinger Health Plan Cover Partial Hospitalization Programs?

    Partial hospitalization programs are the most intense form of outpatient treatment. During a partial hospitalization program, patients attend full-day programming, often receiving the same level of care they would in an inpatient program during the day. 

    During a partial hospitalization program, patients return home at night and return to the facility each morning. Your partial hospitalization program may be fully or partially covered by your Geisinger Health Plan.

    Where Are Geisinger Health Plans Available?

    Geisinger Health Plan is available to residents of Pennsylvania, including residents of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. 

    Types Of Geisinger Health Plans

    Geisinger offers several levels of care to Pennsylvania residents and their family members, including HMO, POS, and PPO plans. 

    Geisinger also offers specialized plans for Pennsylvania residents 65 and older (Geisinger Gold) and a state-supported health insurance program for children who do not have health insurance (CHIP). 

    Geisinger Health Plan options for adults under the age of 65 include: 

    HMO

    A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan allows you to work with a primary care physician who manages most aspects of your health and wellness. This plan is typically lower-cost than other plans. 

    POS

    With a Point of Service (POS) plan, you’ll choose a primary care physician to manage your care, but you can see other providers in or out of the Geisinger network. 

    PPO

    A Preferred Provider Option (PPO) allows you to receive healthcare without a primary care physician, and you can select providers inside or outside of the Geisinger network.
