Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment center.

If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program that is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a variety of drug rehab facilities in an effort to help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been doable originally.

Registrars take into consideration other factors aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)
