Essential health benefits
Imagine Health Insurance plans comply with the Affordable Care Act, which requires coverage for mental health and substance abuse services as essential health benefits [1]. This means your plan must cover outpatient interventions like counseling, therapy sessions, and medication-assisted treatment without annual or lifetime limits on coverage for pre-existing conditions.
Specialty plan features
As a mid-tier insurer, Imagine Health Insurance may have network restrictions and preauthorization requirements. You can explore how your plan covers other levels of care using our resources on alcohol detox imagine health coverage and drug rehab with imagine health coverage.
