Does Massachusetts Health Insurance Cover Rehab?
Under the Affordable Care Act, substance use and mental health treatment are essential health benefits, and federal parity law requires plans to cover them comparably to medical and surgical care. Covered services typically include medical detox, residential and inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, outpatient therapy and medication-assisted treatment. What you pay depends on your deductible, copays or coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum and whether the center is in-network.

Our Recovery Advocates are available around the clock to answer your questions, verify your insurance, and help you find the right level of care — at no cost to you.
Massachusetts also has its own coverage requirements for substance use treatment, including a state law that requires insurers to cover medically necessary acute treatment and clinical stabilization services for up to 14 days without prior authorization. Employer plans, Massachusetts Health Connector marketplace plans, MassHealth and Medicare plans all fall under these rules.
MassHealth and Medicaid Plans
Washburn House is in-network with MassHealth through the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP), Tufts Health Together, Molina Medicaid, UnitedHealthcare Medicaid and Beacon Health Strategies Medicaid plans. If your MassHealth plan is managed by a different organization, call us to check whether a single-case agreement is possible.
