3 Factors That May Affect Your Insurance Coverage
There are many reasons why your plan may only cover part of the cost of addiction treatment. Some of these are:
1. Type of Your Insurance Plan
Horizon NJ is available in different tiers, such as platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze care plans. Platinum and Gold plans may have a high monthly premium but cover 80-100% of addiction treatment costs. Similarly, the Bronze package may cover 60-70% of the price, and the client would pay the additional cost or price difference.
2. Choosing BCBS In-Network Providers
Choosing BCBS NJ in-network treatment providers may significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Horizon NJ even claims on its website that there may be zero additional cost with in-network providers.
3. Choosing Brand Name or Generic Medications
Generic medications are usually more cost-effective than brand-name medications. So, getting generic medications is a great way to get maximum drug coverage and avoid additional costs.
