Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehab services. Although this may seem ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center that is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by a number of drug rehab centers in order to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been possible originally. For example, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehab programs offer payment assistance to help individuals who may not have enough money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term center when in reality a long-term program will be the more suitable choice. To find out what payment assistance could be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the facility for details.
