Cigna Coverage at SOBA New Jersey

A quick look at how Cigna benefits can help with drug and alcohol care

At SOBA New Jersey, we want treatment to feel possible, not out of reach. That includes keeping care as affordable as we can. We work with Cigna because many of their plans include benefits for substance use and mental health treatment under the Affordable Care Act. For a lot of people, that means Cigna can help cover part of the cost of care for treatment.

Coverage looks a little different for everyone, depending on your specific plan. If you are planning to use Cigna, our team can walk you through what your policy includes and what you might expect to pay. We will explain it clearly up front, so you can move forward without guesswork.

Cigna Coverage Options

How Cigna Benefits Can Support Your Care

When you come to SOBA New Jersey, during the intake process, we can help review your Cigna insurance coverage. You could have access to numerous different coverages and plans that cover our various addiction treatments and programs.

Cigna coverage programs and services that might help in your situation are:

Addiction Treatment Coverage

Cigna offers an insurance policy specifically for drug and alcohol addiction treatments. If you have this coverage, then you could have access to all our treatments at a reduced cost to you. In its mission to stop opiate addiction among its members, Cigna has made addiction treatment coverage available to most of its members.

Inpatient Addiction Treatment Coverage

This Cigna policy helps pay for inpatient addiction treatments specifically. People with severe addictions to drugs or alcohol might require inpatient treatments that keep them constantly connected to our professional team of rehab specialists. Inpatient treatments usually last up to 30 days, but a longer stay might be required in some cases.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment Coverage

If your addiction is not severe or is not causing dangerous symptoms, then an outpatient program that doesn’t require you to live at our facilities might be used. Cigna offers outpatient addiction treatment coverage as well.

Health Wellness Programs

You could use a Health & Wellness Program that provides coverage for chronic condition treatments. Drug addiction and alcohol addiction can be considered chronic diseases because recovery is an ongoing process. As it is often said, there is no “cure” for addiction, only treatments that reduce its symptoms.

Mental Health Resources

Through Cigna, you can now get insurance coverage for mental health-related treatments. Addiction is often caused or exacerbated by mental health difficulties. As such, many of our treatment options might be covered partially or fully by this Cigna insurance program.

Behavioral HealthEmployee Assistance Program (EAP)

This insurance program through Cigna is used to give employees access to behavioral health resources, tools, and treatments. If your addiction is related to a behavioral health issue, then this coverage might apply to treatments at SOBA New Jersey.

Medical Detox Coverage

At SOBA New Jersey, we have a medical detox clinic that is built around client comfort. Oftentimes, medical detox is the first step required before other addiction treatments can begin. If you have a Cigna Medical Detox Coverage plan as part of your health insurance policy, then it could help pay for detox.

Courtesy Client Pick-Up Within 5 Hours of Our Location

We provide free transportation services for clients within a 5-hour distance of our New Brunswick, NJ rehab facilities. This service is for individuals in need of drug or alcohol detox that are unable to find transportation to our facility. This service includes transportation from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
