Medical aid cover for addiction rehabilitation
All South African medical aid schemes are legally mandated to cover rehab for drug addiction, as well as treatment for certain psychiatric conditions, under government prescribed minimum benefits (PMBs).
As such, most South African medical aids will pay for inpatient drug rehab when their conditions are met and pre-authorisation is obtained.
However, with some medical aids, you may need to use a drug rehab facility from their network or designated service provider (DSP) list. If not, they may only cover a percentage of the cost of rehab (usually 70–80%). In such cases, or in cases where the rehab facility doesn’t bill for services at scheme rates, you may be charged a co-payment.
First Step can help you verify your medical aid cover, find a drug rehab without co-payments, and guide you through the pre-authorisation process to ensure you don’t have to pay for your addiction treatment out of pocket.
