You want to go to a drug rehab program in Kansas but you’re just not sure how you will be able to pay for it. The Affordable Care Act’s marketplace makes it easier to afford treatment for substance use and mental health concerns through its insurance plans offered by various carriers.

If you would like Aetna coverage in your state, you can become covered within the marketplace through Aetna’s company, Coventry Health Care of Kansas. With this coverage, you’ll be able to take advantage of counseling, short-term care, long-term care, and other types of a treatment services.

Aetna Coverage in Kansas

Aetna offers many plan options and variations in Kansas through Coventry Health Care of Kansas. You have choices that go from bronze to gold on the metallic scale that are each associated with the healthcare marketplace. When you get a plan on the low end, which is a bronze plan, you can expect to have more affordable monthly payments while having a plan that requires you to pay more for your health care services. You generally pay more each month for silver and gold plans while paying a lower percentage for your health services.

Since you plan to go into treatment, think about whether a silver or gold plan would help you more than a bronze one since it will cover 70 to 80 percent of your services while a bronze plan covers 60 percent. In addition, bronze plans tend to have higher deductibles that you have to pay before your health care is covered. Each plan has a limited deductible that is higher for a family or if you choose out-of-network care.
