Does Aetna Cover Partial Hospitalization Programs for alcohol or drug addiction?

Yes. Aetna often covers PHP when medical professionals consider it necessary for your health. Coverage may include behavioral therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and relapse prevention. ChoicePoint can help verify your benefits before starting PHP treatment.

Can I live at home during a PHP program?

Yes. PHP allows you to attend therapy during the day and return home in the evening. This approach helps you maintain family and work responsibilities while managing addiction recovery.

How many hours per day does PHP run?

PHP schedules depend on the type of addiction and treatment services required. At ChoicePoint, PHP typically runs 4 to 8 hours per day, five days a week. For verified details, contact our specialists at 844-445-2565.

How soon can I start PHP treatment after verification?

Patients can often begin PHP treatment within 24 to 48 hours after insurance verification and confirmation of Aetna coverage benefits.

Can I switch from one PHP program to another if needed?

Yes, but coverage depends on medical necessity and authorization from Aetna. ChoicePoint can help coordinate care and verify coverage requirements.

Does Aetna cover PHP for dual diagnosis treatment?

Yes. Aetna may cover dual diagnosis treatment within PHP programs, addressing both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

Do I need a referral to start Aetna-covered PHP?

Some Aetna plans may require a referral from a primary care physician or prior authorization before starting PHP treatment. ChoicePoint can help verify these requirements.

Is PHP covered for both in-network and out-of-network providers?

Coverage is usually better with in-network providers, but some Aetna plans may offer out-of-network benefits depending on your specific insurance policy.

Does Aetna cover PHP if I need medication-assisted treatment?
