Question 3

Does insurance cover treatment for clients with hiv or aids?

Accepted Answer

Most health plans cover addiction and mental health treatment, and under the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the Affordable Care Act, most plans must cover these services comparably to other medical care. Whether a specific program is covered depends on your plan and the program's network status — verify with your insurer before enrolling.
