Your rights under federal law
If your UnitedHealthcare plan covers substance use treatment, the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires its copays, deductibles, day limits and prior authorization rules to be no more restrictive than for comparable medical care. Plans must share medical necessity criteria on request and explain any denial. Marketplace plans must cover substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit and can't set yearly or lifetime dollar limits on it.

Call (866) 649-0814How to check your UnitedHealthcare coverage
- Call the member services or behavioral health number on your card, or have a treatment program verify benefits for you.
- Ask whether the program is in network, and whether you have out-of-network benefits.
- Ask whether pre-authorization is required for detox and residential care, and how many days are approved at first.
- Ask about your deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum.
Coming from another state?
Network rules depend on your plan type. HMO and EPO plans often limit coverage to in-network providers; PPO plans may include out-of-network benefits. Confirm before you travel. Read traveling to Florida for rehab.
