If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Registrars take into account additional factors besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
