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

What is Texas Known For?

With just over 30 million residents as of 2023¹, Texas is the second most populous state in the country, with 85% of those individuals living in three of the largest cities: Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Each city boasts over a million residents, followed closely by El Paso, Fort Worth, and the state capitol, Austin. The Alamo, barbeque, and oil may be the first things that come to mind about Texas. And, if not, did you know Texas is just as diverse as its population?

Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo-American cultures have shaped Texas since before its official admittance as a state in 1845. The state’s rich cultural diversity reflects in everything from its Tex-Mex and barbecue cuisine to its music, which ranges from country and western to blues and rock & roll.

With 37 football colleges, Texas ranks third in the nation, and college football is an enduringly popular sport. Top college football schools in the state include the University of Texas, Texas A&M University, and Texas Tech. The Dallas Cowboys (football), Houston Astros (baseball), and San Antonio Spurs (basketball) are three of Texas' most successful professional sports franchises.

From premiere theme parks, historic sites, and the expansive Texas topography: from the flat plains of Amarillo to the Gulf of Mexico coastline, Texas offers a unique variety of adventures for every visitor to The Lone Star State.

Rehab insurance coverage may include specialist services, incorporating detoxification, behavioral therapy, medication-assisted treatment, inpatient and outpatient therapies, and other types of care.

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.

How Much Does Rehab Cost in Texas with Magellan Insurance?

The cost of rehab in Texas 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 Costs vary for many reasons; duration of care, type of treatment needed, and the magnitude of the 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 are pricier, 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 incurred while admitted to a facility with more extensive treatment. Outpatient care can vary significantly based on the regularity of programs or treatments recommended.
