Addiction is a diagnosable medical condition. However, the stigma associated with addiction can lead to insurance coverage issues for medical care and rehabilitation. Some health plans have financial incentives to deny treatment, and they may word health policies to misrepresent what is covered under the insurance plan.1 This runaround leads to people jumping through hoops to try to get coverage, which can be very difficult for someone who is already dealing with addiction. It’s common to face rejected claims, delays, or only being offered treatment far from home in this situation. Lack of insurance coverage is a common reason people won’t seek treatment, simply because their insurance plan doesn’t provide them with the means to afford care.
