Health insurance plans cover medically necessary care, so as long as the clinic services are prescribed and considered medically necessary, they should be covered. In 2014, plans will have to provide "essential health benefits". Mental health and substance abuse services are considered essential, by health reform's legal definition. This means that the plan will have to match what the state's "benchmark" plan covers. The benchmark plan may have limits on the service -- the number of visits, the length of time, etc. -- that it will pay for.

Does Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance cover methadone treatment?

I am not exactly sure about Methadone clinics, however, I also have Blue Cross and have not only been on Methadone for chronic pain during the last 6 years. Blue Cross paid for my Dr.'s appt. and paid for my prescriptions every month. A month ago, my doctor retired and I had to find a new Pain management doc to go to who doesn't like giving Methadone to people and instead gave me Subutex and Morphine for the pain. The Subutex is most often given to people addicted to opiates like Methadone and Morphine to help with withdrawals and Blue Cross DID NOT pay for it. They also do not cover Subuxone, FYI. I am unsure exactly which kind of Treatment you are referring to Also, I doubt it makes a difference but I have Open Access BCBS so if they don't cover something, I don't think any other type from BCBS will.
