Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option.

Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they like and meet with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.

Registrars consider other factors besides income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
