What Is Cigna Insurance & How Does It Work?
Cigna Insurance is a multinational coverage plan that is based out of Connecticut. This major insurance provider is known for offering insurance coverage for addiction treatment within the network of Muse treatment centers. Depending on your specific insurance coverage and plan, coverage is available in varying amounts for your treatment cost. Coverage can vary depending on your specific location and the policy under which you and your dependents are.
If you have Cigna insurance coverage, the first step that addiction treatment centers will take is speaking with a representative from Cigna to determine the coverage that can be provided to apply to your treatment costs. There can be full payment or partial payments for any approved medical treatments and programs that include substance use disorder treatment. After the coverage of your specific insurance plan is determined, you’ll be informed of your financial requirements for payment before the insurance coverage is applied to the rest of your rehab costs.
Most Cigna insurance plans require patients to pay an insurance deductible on top of any outstanding health care insurance premium rates. There can be additional no-cost programs and medical services available to Cigna policyholders. If you want to learn more about your specific insurance plan and coverage, you can speak with a Cigna insurance representative to have any of your questions answered.
What Are Cigna’s Types of Plans?
Cigna has a wide selection of health insurance plans that include various specific benefits and varying amounts covered for cost. Certain plans within Cigna Insurance have wider ranges of cost coverage for a drug or alcohol rehab program compared to others. Cigna insurance has four types of medical insurance plans that offer various benefits and coverages within each plan:
- Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO)
- Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)
- Point of Service (POS)
- Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
Each insurance plan has varying levels of coverage and benefits. The financial costs and stipulations will range depending on each plan. If you have an HMO insurance plan, provide patients with immediate cost coverage when you attend an approved treatment center within the in-network facility. For other insurance plans, patients can be required to pay a certain amount until an annual threshold is paid. Once that threshold is met, insurance coverage will begin and additional portions of the cost will be paid. Cigna insurance plans will have varying methods of billing and operating depending on the specifics of your coverage and benefits.

Does Cigna Insurance Cover Alcohol & Drug Rehab Treatment?
Yes, Cigna insurance offers insurance coverage for drug and alcohol rehab programs. Substance use disorders along with mental health disorders are recognized by most major insurance companies as necessary medical concerns. Both substance use and mental health require a comprehensive treatment program that assists in stabilizing your physical and psychological health.

What Does Cigna Insurance Cover?
Cigna insurance offers coverage for several medical and mental health treatments beyond addiction treatment. Cigna insurance holders can enjoy coverage for medical costs for the following:
- Lab work
- Vaccinations
- Preventative health care procedures
- Non-preventative doctors visits and healthcare
- Hospitalization costs
- Emergency room visits and treatments
- Physical therapy
If you’re seeking elective medical procedures, medical care that is unapproved, or alternative medicine therapies and treatments, these are unfortunately not covered under Cigna insurance plans.
Does Cigna Insurance Cover Mental Health & Substance Abuse Treatment?
Cigna insurance does have space within each insurance plan to cover a partial cost of substance use treatment and, in some cases, can cover the entirety of your treatment program. Cigna recognizes that addiction treatment can be provided in an inpatient or outpatient treatment program which is why both levels of care are included under the Cigna insurance plans. If you’re seeking alternative methods of addiction treatment, the cost of these treatments may not be included in your insurance plan. Contact a Cigna representative or the insurance specialists at Muse to inquire if your specific insurance plan will include the form of alternative methods of treatment you’re seeking.
Does Cigna Insurance Cover Inpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab?
Inpatient addiction treatment is covered under the Cigna insurance plans. Patients have the option of attending a medical detox within the treatment facility which can be included in your insurance cost coverage. The cost of inpatient rehab will vary depending on the length of time you’re participating in inpatient rehab. The amount covered through insurance and the number of days that can be covered financially will vary depending on your specific insurance plan.
Does Cigna Insurance Cover Intensive Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Rehab?
Outpatient rehab is included in Cigna Insurance coverage. Patients can be eligible for full or partial coverage depending on your specific insurance plan. Outpatient treatment is considered an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that invites patients to attend the recovery facility during the day but isn’t asked to live within the facility. Patients can choose between a 30, 60, or 90-day program that can be included in their insurance coverage.
Does Cigna Insurance Cover Partial Hospitalization?
Yes. Cigna insurance recognizes partial hospitalization as an effective method of addiction treatment that is included in the insurance policies with Cigna. A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is another method of outpatient rehab that offers a more intensive approach to addiction treatment and healing. Patients are invited to attend the recovery center for approximately 20 hours a week for up to 90 days. Patients often transition into a PHP after completing a residential treatment program or for those patients that are looking for a more intensive level of support for outpatient treatment. Typically, patients that are participating in a PHP have determined that they have the appropriate levels of support and coping skills to maintain sobriety while at home.
How Long Will Cigna Insurance Cover Alcohol & Drug Rehab?
Each Cigna insurance plan offers varying lengths of time included in each insurance coverage policy. There are options for patients to have coverage for a period of 4 to 12 weeks for outpatient treatment. Inpatient treatment is included and can include short-term or long-term rehab programs depending on your specific plans. Cigna insurance offers patients the ability to claim a rehab program more than once depending on your specific circumstances. There are times when patients require more time in rehab to ensure that they’ve learned the skills they need and go through the necessary healing process of addiction therapy. To find out the length of time your specific insurance plan covers, speak with the insurance specialists at Muse or a Cigna representative to identify when your insurance can cover the costs, for how long, and if you must pay a deductible for the insurance claim.
