If you’re looking for help with getting drug and alcohol treatment, your insurance provider should be the first place you turn. Insurance providers are required by law to cover at least a portion of drug and alcohol addiction treatment – including inpatient and outpatient care.
The experts at Asana Recovery will help you to determine what your health insurance provider covers, how much, and what types of substance abuse treatment you can seek out. In fact, if you have Beacon Health Options Insurance, you can have most of your drug or alcohol rehab covered.
In fact, Beacon Insurance specializes in behavioral health. That makes your insurance provider an ideal partner in helping you to afford the mental and physical healthcare you need to recover from drug and alcohol addiction.
However, Beacon Insurance was acquired by Carelon, meaning that their policies may change. Check your policy before moving forward with treatment.
Beacon Insurance specializes in behavioral health treatment. In fact, the umbrella organization is one of the largest healthcare providers in the United States. Carelon serves 1 in 3 people in the United States, delivering behavioral health insurance through Beacon Insurance, home healthcare through myNexus, and pharmacy benefits through Ingenio-Rx.
In addition to its insurance programs, Beacon maintains a large network of behavioral health facilities and providers, with specialties ranging from mental health to addiction treatment. Beacon’s focus is on helping individuals into local and custom solutions – with custom solutions for Medicaid, public sector workers, military personnel, and more. In addition, with partnerships across 65+ health plans, Beacon’s services are available for almost everyone.
If you’re a Beacon member, it should cover at least some of the cost of your inpatient or outpatient care. Beacon specializes in mental health and addiction treatment, meaning the amount covered may be higher than some other providers.
However, most people access Beacon as part of an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This means that your coverage is most likely delivered through your employer, and you’ll have to check with their plan and policy to see what is covered.
As of 2022, Beacon worked with a network of 105,000 behavioral health and wellness providers including a significant portion of the 31,000 rehab facilities in the United States. This means your Beacon Insurance is very likely to cover drug rehab.
Beacon Insurance offers extensive inpatient rehab coverage. In fact, once you meet your deductible, Beacon Health Options covers most costs of inpatient care. That makes Beacon one of the better insurance providers for inpatient and partial hospitalization treatment.
Of course, you will still have to pay copays and coinsurance. For example, with Beacon, your coinsurance is normally $15-$50 per session, or $100+ for a stay at a rehab facility.
Beacon Insurance offers significant support for outpatient care, with coinsurance pays hovering around 5%. Otherwise, Beacon may pay most or even all of the total care. However, the exact coverage will depend on your specific plan. To see this, check the back of your insurance card or contact your employer. This sis important to check because, nationally, Beacon has 22+ different plans and services as well as custom solutions per organization they work with.
In addition, Beacon never covers therapy or treatment delivered outside of an office or healthcare facility. This means that you need evidence-based and FDA-approved treatment to get coverage.
Beacon Health Options focuses on continuity of care, ongoing care, and aftercare. Its EAPs focus on delivering ongoing rather than episodic treatment, meaning individuals are encouraged to seek out longer-term rehab, to move into therapy and ongoing treatment after graduating from drug programs, and even to use halfway and sober house support.
However, specific types of treatment covered normally depend on your specific Beacon plan. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to call the number on the back of your Beacon card to request more information and to ask about specific treatment.
If you’d like to verify your coverage with Asana Recovery, you can also call us at (949) 763-3440 with your insurance card at hand. We will check your coverage and let you know if you’re covered, by how much, and anything else you need to know.
In addition, all substance abuse treatment requires prior authorization. You’ll have to call Beacon and get pre-authorization for any residential or outpatient treatment program you want to attend.
Beacon insurance provides significant mental healthcare coverage with support for psychiatric diagnostics and evaluation, individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, neurobehavioral testing, residential mental health treatment, withdrawal management, and emergency treatment for suicidal behavior, eating disorders, and other problems.
Most of these treatments require prior authorization. However, Beacon is very likely to cover these services in full, minus the costs of any copays or coinsurance.
Beacon offers coverage for over 105,000 behavioral health and wellness centers in the United States. However, if you want to go to a treatment center not covered under their network, you may not be able to get compensation. Therefore, it’s important to check with Beacon, your employers health insurance coverage, or contact us at Asana Recovery to see if your plan includes us.
In most cases, you will only get out of network coverage during an emergency situation. For example, if you are delivered to medical treatment by an ambulance or are remanded to an out-of-network center by a judge, you may be responsible for paying in-network fees and deductible payments. However, if you choose to go to a facility that is not covered, you will pay the full cost of the service, out of pocket.
Beacon Health Options was one of the early adopters of medication assisted treatment with its Value Based MAT option. Value Based MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) is a contract and bundled payment plan allowing people without existing coverage to access and receive healthcare – with a payment plan and structure and to encourage ongoing care and support.
If Beacon doesn’t cover your drug rehab or alcohol treatment, it most likely means that you’re looking for an out-of-network provider. In this case, your best option is to choose an in-network provider. Beacon drug rehab coverage includes thousands of facilities and you should be able to choose one.
Beacon Health rehab coverage includes Asana Recovery for most plans. If you’re looking for help with substance abuse, our team of trained and licensed staff including nurses, psychiatrists, and physicians can provide the mental, emotional, and clinical support you need to get better. Plus, with full support from top drug and alcohol insurance providers like Beacon, we can help you do so affordably.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
