Cigna Coverage for Medical Detox
Under the Affordable Care Act and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, Cigna is required to provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment at levels comparable to medical and surgical care. Medical Detox is a recognized, evidence-based component of addiction treatment, and most Cigna plans include benefits for this level of care when clinically indicated.
Coverage is tied to medical necessity. This means Cigna evaluates clinical information to confirm that Medical Detox is the appropriate level of care for your specific situation. Factors considered include substance use history, severity of addiction, previous treatment attempts, co-occurring mental health conditions, and current medical status.
The Recovery Village Palm Beach at Baptist Health is in-network with Cigna. This means Cigna members who receive Medical Detox at our facility benefit from lower copays, lower coinsurance rates, and costs that apply toward their in-network deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
What Medical Detox Involves
Medical detox is the first step in addiction treatment for individuals with physical dependence on alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or other substances. It involves medically supervised withdrawal management with 24/7 nursing and physician oversight. Medication-assisted protocols are used to manage withdrawal symptoms safely. Detox typically lasts 5-10 days and prepares patients for ongoing therapeutic treatment.
