How to Talk to Insurance as a Family Member:
"Hi, I'm calling to understand what addiction treatment benefits are covered under [plan type]. I'm not asking about a specific person's claims, just what the policy covers in general." This approach gets you the information you need while respecting privacy laws.
Ask for a formal denial letter that includes:
- Specific reason for denial
- Policy section reference
- Appeal rights and deadlines
You have the right to appeal. Most insurers have 2-3 levels of appeals. The facility's billing team can often help you with this process.
- Different level of care (e.g., IOP instead of inpatient)
- In-network facility alternatives
- Single-case agreement for out-of-network
Federal law requires insurers to cover mental health and substance abuse treatment at the same level as medical/surgical care. If denied, ask if the same restriction would apply to medical treatment.
