Knowing the details of your coverage is particularly important in making sure the treatment you need will be available to you at the most convenient cost. Once you are familiar with the in’s & out’s of your plan, you will want to familiarize yourself with HMO and PPO plans.
The first, Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans allow an individual to receive treatment from providers that are out of network, without having to receive a referral. The PPO plan can be pricey, however, it allows the individual to receive treatment from a variety of different treatment providers and providers and have the treatment covered once they file their claim.
The Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, is more cost-effective than a PPO. However, HMO plans can limit where one receives treatment. An HMO plan requires a PCP, or Primary Care Physician who must write a referral for a patient to receive additional treatment. Under an HMO only in-network providers will be covered (excluding emergencies), but the individual will not have to file a claim for coverage.
Additional Coverage Options
Although Peach State Insurance offers variety when it comes to addiction coverage, you may find that it doesn’t exactly fit your needs. Additionally, you may find that you need another coverage option altogether.

A place where you can find a lot of important information when searching for treatment options is your providers website. The behavioral and mental health section of your providers website should provide information on coverage options, along with co-pays and deductibles that may apply. Additionally, the website is an insightful place to start if you are just beginning to explore your treatment options. The website should provide information on facilities, near you and beyond, that are covered by your plan.
As stated before, there are additional options when it comes to treatment coverage. Perhaps you find that your insurance tier doesn’t cover the exact treatment you need. Both Medicare and Medicaid in Georgia are able to cover addiction treatment. Medicare does not specify the type of addiction treatment it offers. However, when the circumstances make treatment necessary, Medicare offers coverage. Medicare can cover all types of treatment options.
Georgia Medicaid can provide treatment for alcohol and drug dependency. Additionally, Medicaid can cover both in-patient and out-patient treatment, whichever is appropriate for the individual seeking treatment. Additionally, if neither Peach State nor Medicaid/Medicare fit your needs a few more options are available. Several treatment centers throughout Georiga provide programs that help with the cost of treatment. These services can range from a payment plan to sliding scale fees to pay for treatment. It does not matter what you need, there is an option that will cover you.
