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 drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that's in their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of drug treatment facilities in an effort to help clients afford rehab where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment might be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full price of rehab. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances besides income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
