Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. While this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by many different alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers to help help clients afford rehab where this may not have been possible originally. For example, one client's price for rehab might be different and somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
