Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it.

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that's in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.
