Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, as the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a treatment program while receiving rehab services. Even though this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in recovery need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug treatment facility that's in their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and meet with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation 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 consultant. There can be some restrictions about how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by a number of drug rehabilitation programs in order to help individuals afford treatment where this might not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and somebody else whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehab. Registrars take into consideration other factors besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehab facilities offer payment assistance to help clients who may possibly not have sufficient funds to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. As an example, Occasionally insurance only pays for a short-term facility when in fact a long-term program will likely be the more appropriate choice. To see what payment assistance could be offered, such as a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the facility for details.
