What You Need to Know About Your Health Plan
If you have health insurance through one of the health insurance companies mentioned above, your health care plan may cover all or part of your care at one of the drug or alcohol treatment centers San Diego. Your coverage depends on the specific health plan you have.
If you have an HMO plan you may have fewer choices when going to rehab because the facility must be within your network of providers. If you have a PPO plan you may have more choices. You can look online or call your insurance company for assistance.
If your health insurance covers rehab it does not guarantee that they will cover 100% of the cost. Be sure to ask a representative about what you can expect to pay out-of-pocket (if anything) for rehab.

- Inpatient careÂ
