At Arkview Recovery in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, this means you may not have to face treatment expenses alone. We work directly with United Healthcare to verify your benefits and reduce out-of-pocket costs. We’ll guide you through every step of the insurance process.
United Healthcare rehab coverage depends on your specific plan, location, and medical needs. Some plans may fully cover treatment, while others may require copays or prior approval. Coverage often depends on medical necessity, which means a doctor or specialist will need to confirm that rehab is needed for your health.
To use your United Healthcare rehab coverage to its fullest extent, you’ll need to choose a rehab center that’s in-network for your current plan. Arkview Recovery is in-network for many plans, which can help people access care faster and more affordably. Our admissions team can help check your benefits and explain what’s covered before you enter addiction recovery treatment.

Does United Healthcare Cover Mental Health and Substance Use Treatment Together?
At Arkview Recovery, many of our clients experience depression, anxiety, or trauma alongside addiction. These combined issues are treated through a dual diagnosis approach. This means that therapists and medical staff work together to address both conditions at the same time, paying attention to how they interact and influence each other.
United Healthcare supports this kind of care because it leads to better long-term outcomes. In Pennsylvania, many United Healthcare plans include dual diagnosis treatment when it’s considered medically necessary. Arkview can help you understand what your plan covers and whether pre-approval is needed. We talk to your insurance provider on your behalf to take the stress out of managing the paperwork.

Arkview will contact United Healthcare on your behalf to check your benefits. This includes finding out what services are covered and what may need approval. You’ll get a clear explanation of your costs (if any) before needing to make a decision.
A licensed professional will assess your condition to determine what level of care is right for you.

The results are used to meet any medical necessity requirements your insurance plan may have.
Some United Healthcare plans require pre-approval before treatment begins. If needed, Arkview handles this step by submitting clinical information to the insurer. This helps reduce delays and avoids unexpected billing issues.
Once insurance is confirmed and approved, you can begin treatment. Arkview coordinates your admission date and walks you through what to expect. You’ll receive support from the first day, whether it’s regarding medical care or emotional guidance through the process.
