Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), individuals can no longer be
denied health insurance coverage for having a pre-existing condition like addiction.
With the advent of this new health care legislation, the California Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM) saw the opportunity to educate consumers shopping for healthcare plans about where to find the best addiction treatment coverage.
To achieve that end and to coincide with the current Covered California open enrollment period, CSAM has just released a report entitled “Consumer Guide and Scorecard for Health Insurance Coverage in California for Substance Use Disorders and Mental Health.”
Reviewed by an expert panel of CSAM member physicians, the Guide and Scorecard rates the quality of and access to addiction care available through Covered California.
