While insurance providers like Cigna do cover residential teen treatment for substance abuse, certain qualifications must be met for Cigna to cover the cost of treatment. The situation can be difficult to navigate. However, our admissions specialists at Nexus can help you learn about your specific treatment coverage and determine if Cigna can help you pay for your teen’s substance abuse treatment program. Call now and get the process started.
We specialize not only in substance abuse but mental health treatment as well at our teen mental health treatment facility in Arizona.

If you have a teen struggling with a dual diagnosis of substance abuse and mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or something else, there are Cigna-covered treatment options available at Nexus.
Cigna Coverage Criteria for Teen Inpatient Treatment
For Cigna to cover your teen’s stay at an inpatient mental health program, it needs to be deemed medically necessary. Some of the criteria involved include that treatment must be:
For the purpose of evaluating, diagnosing, or treating an illness, disease, or its symptoms
Clinically appropriate, in terms of type, frequency, extent, site, and duration, and considered effective for the patient’s illness, injury, or disease
Following the generally accepted standards of medical practice
Not more costly than an alternative service that is at least as likely to produce equivalent therapeutic or diagnostic results
What is the Cost of Adolescent Treatment with Cigna?
While Cigna can help cover the cost of treatment, you may still have to pay for various aspects of treatment that may not be covered. Furthermore, you may still have other out-of-pocket costs through copay, deductibles, and more that you may be responsible for.
That said, insurance providers like Cigna can help to significantly reduce the cost of treatment and make treatment more attainable for your teen. If you are looking for an adolescent psychiatrist, Cigna-covered treatment programs like Nexus Teen Academy are here to help.

Paying for Teen Inpatient Treatment with Cigna
Substance abuse and mental health disorders are considered essential services by the U.S. government. This means that commercial insurance providers must cover these services. This also includes behavioral health treatment including counseling and psychotherapy.
While insurance providers are required to cover these programs, your specific insurance plan will determine how much is covered and if you will have an out-of-pocket cost. You will also likely have to meet your deductible requirement before insurance can provide assistance, you can do this through personal loans, credit card payments, and other methods.
If you are unsure how you are going to pay for treatment, contact our team at Nexus and we can walk you through your specific coverage and what your out-of-pocket cost may be. We also may be able to help you set up a payment plan with us.
