Drug Treatment Help Request

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.
