Substance use disorders related to alcohol and drug addiction are having a heavy emotional and financial toll on the workplace. It’s estimated that addiction costs employers upwards of $81 billion per year and employers struggle with how to provide the correct care. Finding in-network providers is challenging and health plans are paying a significant amount in out of network fees and “Shared Savings” that the carrier then takes.
Tune into this episode of The Pulse as we examine the health plan impacts of substance abuse, including uncovering why so many facilities are not in network, what the carriers’ role is in this issue and how employers can create better strategies.
Panelists will discuss:
- The advantages and disadvantages of an addiction treatment center setting up in-network contracts.
- How the laws related to Mental Health Parity influence employers and health plan decisions.
- How claims for these services are handled when out of network and who may be winning in that negotiation.
- How employers can improve their strategy to supporting the needs of their plan members
