For people seeking treatment for an addiction to prescription drugs, detoxification is often the first step. During the detoxification process, the remaining drugs will be eliminated from your system, and you will be monitored and treated for any withdrawal symptoms you experience.
Detoxification can be costly. For this reason, it’s best to estimate your expenses before you begin treatment so you can plan accordingly. Fortunately, if your employer provides you with benefits through ComPsych, you may not pay as much for detox.
Do I Qualify for ComPsych Prescription Drug Detox Benefits?
ComPsych offers various programs and products for employers to choose from. While some employers may provide their workforce with a basic employee assistance program through ComPsych, others may include a carve-out behavioral healthcare program. The specifics of the program your employer offers will influence your ComPsych Prescription Drug Detox significantly. For example, under a basic EAP, you may qualify for only outpatient counseling through ComPsych. However, other programs may provide access to inpatient treatment options.
What Will Detox Cost?
Even with coverage through ComPsych, you may still be required to pay some of the expenses for your detox program. Factors that may influence the amount you pay include:
- Employer’s Program – The structure of your employer’s program will affect how you are charged and how much you pay for treatment.
- Type of Treatment – Some types of detoxification are inherently more expensive than others. If you need medication during detox, this may increase your expenses as well.
- Cost-Sharing Requirements – Many programs include specific cost-sharing requirements, but these requirements vary. Depending on the program and the options chosen by your employer, you may be responsible for a deductible, copays and/or coinsurance.
Keep in mind that you may be required to obtain a referral and/or precertification from ComPsych in order to qualify for ComPsych Prescription Drug Detox coverage. ComPsych may also require you to receive treatment from certain doctors and facilities that are part of the company’s network of preferred providers.
ComPsych Prescription Drug Detox benefits can vary considerably, so it may be difficult to estimate your exact expenses without assistance. For more information about the type of treatment you can receive and how much you will pay, contact ComPsych or consult your plan documents.
