Oscar Health plan coverage

Oscar Health was founded in 2012 and as of 2025 serves more than 1.6 million members across 20 states [1]. Like all Affordable Care Act plans, Oscar Health must cover ten essential health benefits, including mental health and substance use disorder treatment. As a result, most Oscar policies include:

  • Medical detox services
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
  • Inpatient and outpatient rehab
  • Dual diagnosis care for co-occurring mental health issues

Additionally, Oscar partners with Optum for behavioral health services, ensuring access to counseling, group therapy, and continuing care [2].

alcohol detox coverage options

Your coverage will depend on plan details and level of care needed, but common detox benefits include:

  • Medical detox
    Supervised withdrawal in a clinical setting, often with 24/7 monitoring
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
    Use of FDA-approved medications like naltrexone or buprenorphine to ease cravings
  • Inpatient detox
    Intensive, residential support for safe withdrawal
  • Outpatient detox
    Scheduled visits for medical supervision while you live at home

Outpatient programs typically require a 50 percent coinsurance subject to your deductible or a flat copay per visit [2]. Because Oscar generally does not cover out-of-network care, it’s important to choose an in-network facility. For more details on withdrawal coverage, see our drug detox oscar coverage overview.

Verifying your insurance benefits

To confirm exactly what your Oscar plan covers, follow these steps:

  1. Gather your plan information
    Note your member ID, group number, and network status from your card.
  2. Contact Oscar member services
    Call the phone number on your card or log in at oscar.com to review benefits.
  3. Share treatment details
    Specify you need alcohol detox, level of care, and preferred facility location.
  4. Request preauthorization
    Obtain an authorization code and a written estimate of out-of-pocket costs.

As a result, you’ll have clear expectations for deductibles, coinsurance, and any copays before care begins.
