Symptoms of Drug Abuse: Does Insurance Cover ER Visit for Illegal Drug?
Question by Meringue: Does insurance cover ER visit for illegal drug?
Does health insurance typically cover trips to the ER for treatment related to using an illegal drug?
Basically, I had a bad trip on shrooms, so they took me to the ER. They put me on IV fluids and did some blood tests. Also, I was transported via ambulance.

Best answer:
Answer by Katie
