Rehabs That Accept Amerihealth Insurance
AmeriHealth Insurance is a leading medical insurance provider offering specified divisions to cover clients in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, while offering third-party administration (TPA) services for clients nationwide.

The company provides localized healthcare plans to help customers get the coverage they need for a price they can afford.

The organization prides themselves on their personalized level of support and advocacy to their clients who endeavor to navigate and pay for substance abuse treatment, offering a variety of traditional and supplemental support services. Substance use disorder (SUD) impacts every area of a person’s life. PerformCare utilizes a holistic approach to coverage to address every aspect of substance abuse recovery, including acute medical care, long-term behavioral health issues, and quality-of-life issues.
What Kind of Substance Abuse Treatment Services Does PerformCare by AmeriHealth Offer?
Depending upon the scope of their coverage, patients covered by AmeriHealth Caritas may receive treatment for a full range of services through the entire treatment and recovery cycle, including the immediate medical issues associated with prolonged and untreated drug use and the long-term obstacles that can inhibit recovery and lead to relapse.
Some of the primary issues covered by AmeriHealth Caritas include:
- Medical detoxification. Safe and effective medically supervised assistance with acute physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms
- Behavioral rehab. Inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization services to help patients address the psychological aspects of their addictions and cultivate relapse-prevention techniques
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Safe and responsible dispensation of opioid maintenance drugs such as buprenorphine (Suboxone), naltrexone (Vivitrol), and methadone
- Aftercare services. Patients may also receive total or partial coverage for services such as transitional housing, ongoing psychotherapy, and other supplemental modalities.
Through Medicaid and Medicare resources, AmeriHealth Caritas is able to help patients with limited means access insurance. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that more than nineteen million Americans are currently struggling with SUD and only a fraction (a little over ten percent) are receiving the care they need. This is often due to financial roadblocks that price lower-income SUD sufferers out of the care process.
Opioid Use Disorder Treatment by AmeriHealth Caritas
AmeriHealth Caritas offers a full suite of treatment services for opioid use disorder. They have developed and utilized a system of what they call “whole-person care,” which addresses all elements of opioid use disorder, from behavioral health issues to pharmacological interventions and more. Whole-person care looks beyond the physical health needs of AmeriHealth members to also address the behavioral and social dynamics that are part of their well-being. It includes coverage for MAT, rehab, and more. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that approximately 47,600 Americans died from opioid use disorder in 2017; greater buy-in from insurance companies can drastically decrease fatality.
