Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Private Health Insurance

Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center which is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations about how much time 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 treatment facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale
