An addiction to the internet can be debilitating. If you are unable to recover from this condition, you may find yourself losing productivity at work and experiencing problems in relationships with family and friends. Internet addiction can also lead to intense feelings of guilt, low self-esteem and health concerns.
To overcome an addiction to the internet, you may need professional treatment. Fortunately, if you qualify for Managed Health Network Internet Addiction Coverage, you may have access to the treatment you need at a lower cost.
About Managed Health Network Internet Addiction Coverage
Managed Health Network offers several different types of programs to its members, including driving under the influence programs, employee assistance programs and behavioral health programs. While behavioral health programs and employee assistance programs may provide benefits for internet addiction treatment, these benefits will not be available under a driving under the influence program. Thus, the program that covers you will determine what benefits you will receive for internet addiction treatment, if any.
Keep in mind that, even if you don’t qualify for Managed Health Network Internet Addiction Coverage, you may still be eligible for internet addiction treatment benefits from another source under your health plan.
Estimating My Benefits
Even if you know that you will qualify for internet addiction benefits from Managed Health Network, you may still wonder how much you will be required to pay toward your own treatment expenses. Some of the factors to consider as you estimate your expenses include:
- Type of Treatment – Certain types of internet addiction treatment may cost more than others. For example, if you need inpatient treatment, you may pay more than you would for outpatient treatment.
- Choice of Provider – Your coverage may vary based on the provider you choose. If you select a doctor and/or treatment facility from within your plan’s preferred provider network, you may receive coverage at a higher level than you would for out-of-network care.
- Cost-Sharing Responsibilities – Depending on the specifics of your plan, you may be required to meet a deductible and/or pay coinsurance toward your treatment expenses.
Before you begin treatment, be sure to consult your plan documents. You may need to obtain a referral from your doctor and/or precertification from Managed Health Network in order to qualify for coverage.
