Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding level of care, for the reason that individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in recovery have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is 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 rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by numerous alcohol and drug treatment programs in order to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been doable originally. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation might be different and another individual whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration variables aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
