Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation program while undergoing treatment services. Although this might appear ideal it might not provide the required change of environment than lots of people in rehab require to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals might have to take part in a drug rehab program which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by many different alcohol and drug treatment centers to help help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's price for treatment could be different and less than another individual whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars consider variables aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment programs provide payment assistance to help clients who may not have enough resources to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. As an example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term program when in reality a long-term facility is going to be the more appropriate option. To see what payment assistance can be offered, such as a sliding fee scale, talk with the center for particulars.
