Outpatient

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program that's in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions like just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and meet with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment center of preference.

Registrars take into consideration other factors besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
