 Humana therapy and mental health coverage

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), mental and behavioral health treatment must be covered as essential health benefits. These include counseling and therapy, as well as inpatient mental and behavioral health care and substance abuse treatment. 

Almost all mental disorders, as well as substance use disorders and alcohol and chemical dependency treatment, are covered by all ACA-compliant health insurance.

However, since insurance coverage is based on medical necessity, Humana  may have more limited coverage options for issues such as grief and losscouples and marriage counseling, and general relationship issues.
