Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a treatment facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in treatment need to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center which is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in an effort to help clients pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehabilitation might be different and lower than another person whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances besides income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
