When you’re ready to seek help at Kemah Palms Recovery, one of your first questions might be whether alcohol rehab UMR insurance accepted at our center. Navigating specialty or mid-tier plans can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. This guide walks you through how UMR coverage works, steps to verify your benefits, what programs Kemah Palms offers under UMR plans, and options if you face out-of-pocket costs.
Understanding UMR coverage
UMR’s partnership role
UMR serves as a third-party administrator for UnitedHealthcare, expanding mental health and addiction treatment options rather than underwriting plans directly. Coverage details—such as which services are included, your deductible, copay and coinsurance—are determined by your specific UnitedHealthcare policy [1].
ACA mandate for rehab
Under the Affordable Care Act, UMR-administered plans must treat substance use disorder like any other medical condition, providing coverage for detoxification, residential treatment, outpatient programs and, when medically necessary, dual-diagnosis services.
Typical UMR coverage features
| Program type | Coverage under UMR-administered plans | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Medical detox | Often covered [2] | 24/7 medical supervision and medication management |
| Residential rehab | Typically covered [3] | Length varies (30–90 days) based on medical necessity |
| Partial hospitalization | Covered | Structured day treatment, ideal bridge between inpatient and outpatient care |
| Intensive outpatient | Covered [4] | Flexible scheduling to fit work or family commitments |
