Meritain Health-administered plans may cover medical detox for substance use disorders, but exact benefits depend on the member’s employer plan. Trinity Behavioral Health accepts Meritain-administered benefits when the plan provides applicable coverage. Meritain explains that some services require precertification and specifically lists inpatient substance-abuse treatment among examples.
Before admission, verify your Meritain detox benefits.
