  • According to SAMHSA's 2019 research, private health insurance plans paid an estimated $7.5 billion for services related to drug addiction treatment, or about 22% of the total amount spent on such treatment.
  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder is now widely covered by insurance plans since it has been proven to be a successful treatment option for those who suffer from this condition.2
  • The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a regulation in 2020 requiring Medicaid and private health insurance plans to cover all medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating opioid use disorder.3
  • Health insurance premiums generated about $188 billion in revenue for UnitedHealth Group in 2020. However, how much of that was from addiction treatment services is unknown.
  • In 2018, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that 33.1% of people who required substance use treatment did not receive any treatment, while just 10.3% received it in a specialty facility. Lack of insurance coverage was one of the biggest obstacles to receiving treatment.4
