Do Drug and Alcohol Addiction Recovery Centers in Arizona Take Magellan Insurance?

What is Arizona Known For?

Arizona, a state in the southwestern part of the United States, is a place where desert landscapes come alive. The arid and semi-arid climate that is typical of the state makes it a unique place to live and visit. Home to over 7.2 million people, Arizona is the 14th most populous state in the United States.¹

Arizona became a state on February 14th, 1912, making it the 48th state to join the Union. Tourism is a significant contributor to Arizona's economy, with millions of visitors coming to explore its deserts each year. The Grand Canyon, Sedona, Tombstone, and Petrified Forest National Park are just a few of Arizona's popular attractions that bring visitors from all over the world.

In addition to its natural attractions, Arizona has a rich cultural history that is celebrated throughout the state. From the ancient Native American ruins at Tuzigoot National Monument to the historic mining town of Bisbee, Arizona has something for everyone.

Arizona, also known as the Copper State, has a higher concentration of copper deposits than any other state in the United States.

Whether you're looking to relax in a desert spa, hike through the canyons, or experience the ancient cultures of Arizona's Native American tribes, there is something for everyone in this beautiful state.

What is Rehab Insurance Coverage?

Rehab insurance coverage may include care like specialist services, detox programs, mental health treatment, medication-assisted treatment, inpatient and outpatient therapies, and other medical options. Health insurance that provides benefits to those seeking treatment for addiction, mental health conditions, or substance abuse is often included in rehab insurance coverage.

In researching rehabilitation services, contacting your insurance company is crucial to learn about your policy coverage, deductibles, premiums, and any other potential out-of-pocket costs. During your research, it may be beneficial to speak to hospitals and rehabilitation facilities to find the most affordable option. Call us at 866-461-3339 and we can help you verify in-network facilities and the treatments covered by your insurance.

How Much Does Rehab Cost in Arizona with Magellan Insurance?

The cost of rehab in Arizona with Magellan Insurance can vary. General outpatient rehab costs can average $5,700/month with inpatient treatments costing an average of $12,500/month.⁷ The details of the treatment program, including length of care, type, and magnitude will all impact the costs of treatment.

On average, in-network providers have a discounted rate shared with Magellan, leading to lower out-of-pocket costs for the patient. In contrast, out-of-network providers can be more expensive, given that the out-of-network provider does not have a contract with Magellan to share the costs, and the patient is paying full price for treatment.

Inpatient care needs can also result in increased costs due to fees often including lodging, food, and full time supervision while admitted to a facility. Outpatient care can vary significantly based on the regularity of programs or treatments recommended.
