How to Find an AmBetter-Approved Rehab Center
Step 1: Contact AmBetter Customer Service
Reach out to AmBetter’s customer service to confirm which rehab services your plan covers and request a list of approved facilities. This ensures that you select a center that is within your network and eligible for coverage.
Step 2: Search for Accredited Treatment Centers
Visit the websites of local treatment centers or call directly to confirm if they accept AmBetter insurance. Many facilities list their accepted insurance providers online.
Step 3: Verify Your Benefits
Before committing to a rehab program, verify your benefits with AmBetter or through the treatment center’s insurance team. They can help confirm what portions of your treatment will be covered and what out-of-pocket expenses you may incur.
How to Use AmBetter for Drug Rehab
Understand Your Plan
Different AmBetter plans offer varying levels of coverage. Familiarize yourself with your plan’s benefits, including deductibles, co-pays, and any required pre-authorizations for rehab services.
Obtain Pre-Authorization (if required)
