Drug Treatment Help Request

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.
