What Does Coventry Health Care Cover for Drug Rehab?
Coventry Health Care is a subsidiary of Aetna (CVS Health), one of the largest managed care organizations in the United States. Coventry plans are primarily employer-sponsored and offered in all 50 states. Following Aetna's acquisition of Coventry in 2013 (and CVS Health's acquisition of Aetna in 2018), Coventry plans now operate under the Aetna/CVS Health umbrella — though many employer groups still carry Coventry-branded cards.
All Coventry plans must cover addiction treatment under MHPAEA and the ACA. Behavioral health benefits are managed through Aetna Behavioral Health. Pharmacy benefits are managed through CVS Caremark — which can reduce MAT medication costs, especially at CVS pharmacies. See our full Aetna coverage guide for comprehensive Aetna/CVS Health benefits details.
