Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

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