Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type 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 may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center which is in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant.
